Professor Valeriy Reznikov of the IIR paid a working visit to the University of Luxembourg

Between 11 and 12 June 2026, Valeriy Reznikov, a professor in the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations at the Educational and Scientific Institute of International Relations, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, undertook a working visit to the University of Luxembourg (Belval campus, Luxembourg City) .

The University of Luxembourg is one of the key players in the development of intra-university and international cooperation among member universities of the ‘Greater Region’ — a cross-border association of neighbouring territories in France, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg, which promotes cooperation in various fields, particularly in education and science.

As part of the visit, Professor Valeriy Reznikov took part in a research and practical seminar entitled ‘Artificial Intelligence: Ethics, Benefits and Risks in Your Projects’, held at the Robert Schuman European Centre (Cîteaux-Chazelles, France). Upon completion of the course, the participant received a certificate.

During his stay at the Centre, discussions were also held with its director, Ms Stephanie Jacques, regarding the prospects for developing a new educational project dedicated to the history of the creation and development of the European Union for Ukrainian students.

In addition, the professor visited the Museum of the History of the European Union in Schengen (Luxembourg). Following these meetings, a preliminary programme was drawn up for further discussions with the museum’s director, scheduled for 8–12 July 2026. The aim of these discussions will be to discuss the concept of the future educational project.

The main aim of the working visit was to explore the potential for developing academic and educational links, to take part in an international educational seminar, and to launch a new educational project on the history of the creation and development of the European Union for Ukrainian students.

An important outcome of the visit was the creation of the foundations for long-term academic and educational cooperation between the Educational and Scientific Institute of International Relations at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and the University of Luxembourg.
