Teach Together. Learn Together. Grow Together.
Building the NEXT Network for Hybrid and XR Education
NEXT connects Ukrainian universities through shared laboratories, digital collaboration and common educational resources. European partners contribute expertise, technology and international cooperation to help build a sustainable academic ecosystem.
What is the NEXT Network?
NEXT Network is more than a collection of laboratories.
It is a collaborative ecosystem where universities can:
- deliver hybrid education together
- share laboratory infrastructure
- organise international events
- collaborate on research
- exchange educational resources
- gradually expand the network with new institutions.
The initial network has been established around four Ukrainian universities within the Erasmus+ NEXT project. European partners provide technical know-how, methodology and long-term support, while the network remains open for future expansion.
