Developed in partnership with ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ IDEAS, the foreign policy think tank of the London School of Economics and Political Science, the Education for Victory program supports Ukrainian civil servants and military personnel in the country’s post-war reconstruction. Participants gain access to lectures from leading professors around the world, develop strategic planning skills, study current economic and security trends, and build connections with international leaders to support Ukraine’s recovery.
As part of the program, participants attend expert sessions with representatives from JP Morgan, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), the UK Parliament, and various international organizations—offering them unique, practical insights.
Following the intensive learning period, participants are invited to join the Alumni Program, designed to foster continuous learning and collaboration across cohorts. It combines online and offline lectures by ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ faculty, offering training sessions, skills development workshops, networking opportunities, strategic discussions, and roundtables.
To date, Grand Strategy UA has conducted three “Education for Victory” programs with 74 high-level participants, delivered 28 types of educational lectures, and engaged over 18 professors and guest lecturers, including two Nobel Laureates.
