On June 18, the Head of the Crimea Platform Department, Nelia Hrynyshyn and the Chief Consultant of the Crimea Platform Department, Alina Olefir, held a meeting with representatives of Lund University: Jörgen Norén, Administrative Support Manager and Oleksandra Panasenko, Communications Assistant.

The meeting served as a continuation of systemic efforts to implement the Memorandum on the Development of Crimean Tatar Studies within the framework of the Global Coalition of Ukrainian Studies, which was signed on May 7, 2026, by the Permanent Representative Olha Kuryshko.

The parties exchanged information on the current activities of both institutions, discussed potential avenues for cooperation, and explored prospects for engaging the academic community in joint projects centered around the topic of Crimea.
