In March 2026, a series of lectures entitled ‘Developing the infrastructure for inclusive entrepreneurship: specific features during the war and post-war periods in Ukraine’ began, presented by the implementers of Jean Monnet Module No. 101176585 – IVERES4U – ERASMUS-JMO-2024-HEI-TCH-RSCH “Inclusive and Veteran Entrepreneurship: Ukraine’s Post-War Recovery Based on European Values of a Solidarity Economy”.
The main objective of this lecture series is to summarise approaches from domestic and progressive European practices regarding the typology and identification of the key characteristics and functions of inclusive entrepreneurship; it also examines effective models for developing the infrastructure of inclusive entrepreneurship in Ukraine. It has been established that, in the current context, the inclusive development of entrepreneurship is viewed as a policy aimed at ensuring opportunities for starting one’s own business or becoming self-employed for all sections of the population. Global experience in the formation and development of inclusive entrepreneurship has been summarised, and the main factors hindering the promotion of inclusive entrepreneurship in Ukraine at the micro- and macro-levels have been identified; the structuring of funding sources for the development of inclusive entrepreneurship at the local level has also been examined. The participants in this module are undergraduate students studying ‘International Economic Relations’ at Sumy State University. It was the interactive series of lectures that enabled the students to engage as fully as possible in active discussion of the topics under consideration.
