Two research projects of Sumy State University have been selected as winners of the “Excellent Science in Ukraine 2026–2028” Call and will be implemented with the support of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine (NRFU).

Sumy State University has once again confirmed its high scientific potential by winning a contest for fundamental and applied research projects and scientific and technical (experimental) developments of young scientists. It had been organized by the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science.

Stephen GETHINS and Jordan MEAD (representatives of the British Parliament) visited Sumy State University.

The guests inspected the SumDU infrastructure damaged by rocket strikes, the restoration of which is important to preserve the educational and scientific potential of Sumy and Ukraine.

SumDU was among the most successful institutions according to results of scientific project competitions held in 2025 by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.

Within the framework of the twinning initiative with University of Liverpool, Sumy State University has received humanitarian assistance to support its administrative, educational, and research activities.

Ukrainian higher education today is not only about survival, but also about rethinking the role of the university in conditions of prolonged crisis. Within the framework of the international project “Pedagogy in the State of Emergency”, Sumy State University, together with its strategic partner – Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences (JAMK) – is developing innovative pedagogical approaches that can be scaled up and applied by universities in different countries operating under emergency conditions.

Dear university family and friends of Sumy State University!

I sincerely congratulate you on the upcoming holiday – New Year 2026! The end of the year is a time for reflection, gratitude, and new hopes. And 2025 was a special year for our university.

On 22-27 December 2025, the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technologies hosted Academic Mobility Week, a large-scale joint project of the student and administrative dean offices.

The main goal was not only to inform students about international programs, but also to prepare future participants for studying abroad so that as many representatives of the faculty as possible could take advantage of international education benefits.

On 16-17 December 2025, the kick-off meeting of the international Erasmus+ CBHE project “Alumni Management Excellence: Building University Capacity For Sustainable Graduate Engagement” (No. 101236357 – ALMEX – ERASMUS-EDU-2025-CBHE) took place in Wrocław, Poland, hosted by the Foundation of the Ukrainian Catholic University.

The international grant project ALMEX aims to transform alumni relations into a strategic development tool for higher education institutions. The core objective of the initiative is the implementation of the Circular Alumni Engagement Model, which is based on a mutually beneficial and dynamic partnership between universities and their graduates.

The support provided to Sumy State University (SumDU) by Fulda University of Applied Sciences (Germany) has a sustained and consistent character. Following the provision of technical equipment to support the educational process, the German university – a strategic partner of SumDU and a member of the E³UDRES² European University Alliance – initiated a fundraising campaign entitled “Solidarität mit Sumy – Hilfe für den Wiederaufbau der ukrainischen Partneruniversität” (“Solidarity with Sumy – Support for the Reconstruction of the Ukrainian Partner University”). As part of this initiative, EUR 5,000 was raised to support the recovery of the university following Russian attacks. This step became yet another confirmation of deep partnership and European solidarity with the academic community of Sumy.
