Public discussion

The Institute monitors and periodically reviews the programme together with its students and other stakeholders, so that the aims stated in the programme are met as fully as possible and the programme matches the needs of doctoral students and employers. Everyone concerned is invited to send comments and/or proposals on improving any component of the “Sociology” programme. Please send them to asp-doc@i-soc.org.ua

We are opening the draft of the new 2025 version of the “Sociology” programme for discussion. We invite our stakeholders, employers, researchers, teaching staff and everyone interested in improving the training of researchers to assess the draft by completing an expert survey questionnaire. We will be grateful for your proposals and comments, which will be taken into account in preparing the final version of the programme.
