Outreach

The outreach program of the Kyiv School of Economics provides resources for undergraduate and graduate curriculum development in modern economics at Ukrainian universities. The KSE Curriculum Development Support Service at the library makes available model curricula and syllabi from KSE and from other exemplary institutions in the region. It supplies numerous kinds of instructional materials, both hard-copy and web-based, for teachers and students. Since the availability of good textbooks and such teaching materials as workbooks and test banks in Ukrainian or Russian is a serious problem, the KSE expects to support the development of such materials. A major goal of the KSE outreach program is to develop partnerships with institutions for a sustained effort in curriculum development over several years. Such partnerships might include internship positions in the KSE MA program, or access to KSE faculty and graduates to work in a team teaching mode with faculty to develop new courses. The KSE teaching outreach program also sends out KSE faculty to teach at other universities. KSE also is involved in the organization of conferences for educators, student conferences and summer schools (on the Economics of the Firm and on Econometrics). Finally, to support the participation of Ukrainian economists in international conferences, we created a conference fund.
