We hold the most networking events among cluster members.
-
Clusters
Clusters are membership based groups for active Ukrainians. They are not only narrowly focused groups where members of our community can interact on a deeper level, it’s also a powerful networking.
Within clusters, Ukrainians can exchange experiences, coordinate relevant events, amplify the Ukrainian voice globally, spearhead projects, enhance interaction with Ukrainian society and locals, cultivate professional networks, and more. Vilnius’s community stands out with its significant presence, emphasizing the city’s central role as a nexus for professional clusters spanning cultural, psychological, business, and academic spheres.
These communities provide a support network and collaboration opportunities, fostering personal development and enriching the Ukrainian cultural landscape.
-
Women's Entrepreneurship Program
This is a unique opportunity to receive free training that will help ukrainian women in Lithuania turn their business ideas into a step-by-step detailed business plan, learn how to attract investment and find business partners, improve your business thinking, and find support in the community of women entrepreneurs.
The program is conducted in cooperation with U&WE Hub
-
Internship programme
This programme is aimed at young professionals and students who could bring their analytical and research skills to produce a variety of materials (policy briefs, problem analysis, mapping, analytical articles, etc) that would be inline with the overall mission of the hub and could complement hub activities. The internship is paid.
