several projects in Ukraine, such as BILAT-UKR*AINA which supports science and technology
policy dialogue between the Commission, EU Member States and Ukraine. The EU Delegation
in Ukraine provides funding for a number of projects in areas such as energy, environment
and the sustainable management of natural resources. In addition, Ukraine is a partner
country to the Erasmus+ programme, and therefore has automatic access to a number
of Erasmus+ activities in the area of youth and higher education, financed through
EU external and internal funds.</p>
