Faculty of the Department of Economics, Management and Finance of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University Participate in the Academic Integrity Forum 2026

On February 19, 2026, faculty members of the Department of Economics, Management and Finance of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University took part in the Forum “Identifying Effective Approaches to Ensuring Academic Integrity in Educational Activities under Contemporary Conditions.”

The event was held in a hybrid format at Vinnytsia Technical Professional College with the participation of leading experts in the fields of education, law, science, and business. The Forum was organized by the College in cooperation with NGO ‘Progresylni’.

The discussions focused on new challenges and opportunities related to the implementation of the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On Academic Integrity,” signed by the President of Ukraine on January 29, 2026. Particular attention was paid to practical mechanisms for enforcing the legislation, the implementation of open science principles, ethical and legal aspects of the use of artificial intelligence in the educational process, and the development of a culture of integrity as a foundation of professional ethics in education and business.

The Forum included thematic presentations and a panel discussion with representatives of the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention, institutions of general secondary, professional pre-higher, and higher education, as well as international experts, including those from the United Kingdom.

For the faculty members of the Department of Economics, Management and Finance, participation in the Forum became an important step toward enhancing professional competence, rethinking contemporary approaches to ensuring academic integrity, and exchanging experience with colleagues from different regions of Ukraine.

The knowledge and best practices acquired during the Forum are planned to be integrated into the educational process of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University, particularly in the teaching of economic and management disciplines, as well as in fostering a culture of responsible use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence.

Participation in such events confirms the commitment of the University’s academic staff to continuous professional development, adherence to high standards of academic ethics, and the assurance of quality higher education in Ukraine.
