Department of International Economic relations is honored to represent SumDU in an international project titled “An Integrated Model for Strategic Excellence in Higher Education Institutions” funded within the Erasmus+ programme. The planned project duration is 24 months (31.12.2024 – 30.12.2026). For SumDU, the coordinating team will be represented by Doctor of Economics, Professor Yurii Petrushenko, and Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor Oksana Zamora.
Project consortium consists of:
- Hitit University (Turkiye, coordinator)
- Sumy State University (Ukraine)
- Valencia Technical University
- CHES (Czech Republic)
- Kastamonu University (Turkiye)
The purpose of the proposed research project is to develop a model that plans, executes, and analyzes the outcomes and results of universities’ service areas within the higher education ecosystem through a strategic management approach, revealing its impact on institutional performance. The model aims to measure the academic and administrative performance levels of universities through actionable and trackable sets of actions, integrating these with budgeting and prioritization mechanisms. Additionally, the proposed model is expected to contribute to the transparency and accountability qualities expected from public universities.
