Education
Capacity Building for Critical Infrastructure Restoration in Ukraine
”Empower Ukraine” is a three-year capacity-building project dedicated to educating Ukrainian engineers in Eurocode-based infrastructure design and construction to support Ukraine’s sustainable recovery.
Through a well-structured programme, early-career researchers and engineers will gain essential design and construction skills to repair and improve critical facilities and infrastructure across Ukraine. Participants will be mentored by experienced academics, gaining expertise, skills, and accreditations while accessing further training, work placements, and apprenticeship opportunities.

Our Target Groups
Our target groups include students, engineers, academics and policymakers, all working together to rebuild Ukraine in a sustainable and resilient way.
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)
Sustainable, Resilient, and Inclusive Infrastructure
Learn to design infrastructure systems that are environmentally sustainable, socially inclusive, and resilient to climate and disaster risks. Focus areas include Eurocodes, nature-based solutions, and green reconstruction strategies.
Design of Bridges and Transport
Explore prestressing techniques, structural modelling, load analysis, and anchorage design. The course emphasizes durability, maintenance, and compliance with service and ultimate limit state requirements.
Digital Resilience in Infrastructure: Modelling, Monitoring, and Intelligent Systems
Discover how digital tools like BIM, digital twins, and IoT support smart infrastructure. Topics include real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and intelligent decision-making for resilient systems.
Legal, Safety, Standards & Project Management
Gain practical skills in legal compliance, risk management, budgeting, procurement, and project planning. The course covers Eurocodes, Ukrainian regulations, and key project management frameworks.
Microcredential
Microcredentials are short, focused learning experiences that certify the acquisition of specific skills or knowledge.
The Microcredentials will be available for in-person study to 50 Ukrainian learners, who will gain certificate with credits from University Colledge London.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Bilingual seminars and CPD activities in collaboration with Ukraine’s Ministry of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine and Ministry of Education and Science; delivered alongside Ukrainian speakers from national universities. Our commitment to customisation means we will tailor these offerings to meet the unique needs and objectives of the learners.
