Teachers, graduate students and students of Sumy State University are active participants of academic mobility programs around the world.
International cooperation is one of the priority areas of activity of Sumy State University, and during the period of martial law, it has strengthened and hit stride: already developed connections with foreign colleagues have been intensified, new partnerships have been started. Currently, programs of virtual academic mobility are more actively implemented, but, if possible, our scientists do not miss the chance to undergo an internship in person, at the invitation of educational institutions from different countries of the world.
