TRAINING ACTIVITIES OF THE COURSE “EUROPEAN PRACTICES OF SCIENTIFIC EXCELLENCE IN THE DIGITAL ERA” ARE ONGOING

As part of the training course “European Practices of Scientific Excellence in the Digital Era”, implemented with the support of the European Commission under the Jean Monnet Chair EU_STRENGHTS* project, regular training sessions were held on January 12 and 13, 2026. These sessions were dedicated to the application of the best European practices in data analysis, academic writing, and the publication of scientific research results.

On January 12, the training focused on the topic “Fundamentals of Data Analysis in STATA.” Together with Oleksandr Kubatko, Head of the Department of Economics, Entrepreneurship and Business Administration, course participants mastered basic tools of quantitative data analysis, approaches to interpreting results, and the possibilities of using STATA in applied economic and interdisciplinary research in accordance with the standards of the European Research Area. The practical format of the sessions combined hands-on data work with the analysis of real research cases.

On January 13, the training activities were dedicated to the best European practices of academic writing and publishing research results. During the lecture and training session delivered by Professor Oleksandr Kubatko, the requirements of international scientific journals, as well as the principles of academic integrity and research ethics, were addressed. Special attention was given to a practical training session on the use of the Zotero bibliographic manager, which is widely used in the European academic community for reference management and proper citation formatting. This session was conducted by Associate Professor Inna Koblianska.

All training sessions of the course are built on European standards of scientific excellence and are aimed at developing research competencies necessary for integration into the European Research and Education Area.
