Study Visit of the Department of Computer Engineering and Information Systems Faculty Members to the Netherlands Business Academy

From 22 to 24 June 2026, faculty members of the Department of Computer Engineering and Information Systems (CEIS) at Khmelnytskyi National University — Olha Pavlova, Yelyzaveta Hnatchuk, and Mariia Kapustian — participated in a study visit to the Netherlands Business Academy (NLBA) in Arnhem, the Netherlands.

During the three-day visit, the participants explored the distinctive features of the Dutch educational and digital systems, contemporary approaches to organising the learning process, and best practices in the digital transformation of educational communities.

The programme's first day began with an official welcome and an introduction to the Netherlands. The delegation visited Sportbedrijf Arnhem and subsequently participated in a thematic session on the development of digital systems in the Netherlands. The day concluded with a joint discussion and a review of the interim outcomes.

On the second day, participants attended sessions focused on the structure and guiding principles of the Dutch education system. Particular attention was given to presentations and discussions on the digitalisation of learning communities, the use of modern technologies in education, and the activities of the Netherlands Business Academy as an institution that successfully combines academic education with the practical needs of the business sector.

The programme of the third day included an evaluation of the learning outcomes, discussions on the future planning of joint project activities, and the identification of potential areas for international cooperation. The cultural component of the visit included a tour of the Netherlands Open Air Museum (Openluchtmuseum) in Arnhem, where participants learned about the country's history, culture, and traditions.

The study visit provided an important opportunity for professional exchange, the exploration of European educational practices, and the study of contemporary approaches to the digital transformation of education. The knowledge and experience gained will enhance the educational process, strengthen international cooperation, and implement innovative solutions in the Department of Computer Engineering and Information Systems at Khmelnytskyi National University.
