The first programme of the initiative "New UA" is "Engineering for a new Ukraine". Its aim is to develop, support and accelerate engineering projects in Ukraine that are important to the country and that would benefit significantly from foreign contributions - in any field of engineering. We aim to do this by bringing together teams of the most suitable engineers, technicians and other professionals from Ukraine and abroad and supporting them with the necessary systems to identify, prioritize, plan and implement new, better solutions for the construction and use of equipment and machines in Ukraine. In this process Ukrainian resources shall, to the extent that it makes sense, be complemented by foreign ones, for example with regard to the following project components:
- Materials and technical components
- Consultancy
- Training, especially in the form of digital learning and training tools for use on smartphones
- Suppply chain management
- Financing
This programme will complement any other public or private programmes with similar objectives and we will carefully focus our activities to avoid any duplication with such programmes.
A unique feature of this programme is that the work will be structured in a way to enable specialists to contribute their expertise even in very small work parcels (in units of half an hour where possible and in some cases even less time), thereby making it more likely that they will participate on a voluntary basis to keep costs as low as possible.
A parallel objective is to use the know-how and skills, especially technical ones, of Ukrainian refugees in the best possible way for Ukraine, at a time when a significant number of Ukrainian technologists, engineers and scientists are busy fighting at the front.
Do you want to participate? Anyone with knowledge of (potentially) important engineering project situations, in which better support could have a significant positive impact on Ukraine, is invited to complete this form so that we do not miss any such projects in our efforts to support Ukraine.
