The EU-funded Natolin4Capacity Building Phase II (N4CB-II) project has completed the 6th edition of the Tailored Onsite Knowledge and Analytical Skills Programme on European Integration at the College of Europe in Natolin, Warsaw.
Held from 1 March to 10 April 2026, the programme focused on EU accession negotiation Cluster 4 – “Green Agenda and Sustainable Connectivity”. Eight representatives of Ukrainian public institutions took part in the six-week training, which covered EU policies related to energy, transport, climate action, digital connectivity, and sustainable development.
The programme combined academic lectures, expert sessions, study visits and analytical work, providing participants with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of EU policies and the practical aspects of the accession process.
Reflecting on their experience, participants highlighted the relevance of the programme to their daily work and professional development.
“The N4CB programme did not provide ready-made solutions, and that is precisely what made it more valuable, as it encouraged me to think more broadly. I will now apply these skills and knowledge in the approach I take in my daily work,” said Daria Hoshtuk from the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.
“The programme enhanced my knowledge and provided me with a range of practical tools to support reform processes,” noted Inna Bodak from the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine.
“Participation in the programme helps you become a highly competent professional. We need many people who have a stronger understanding of the European integration process,” emphasised Dmytro Melnyk from the Administration of the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine.
The completion of the 6th edition marked another stage in the implementation of the N4CB-II training programme. Since the launch of the project in 2025, 49 representatives of Ukrainian central public institutions had completed the programme by April 2026, contributing to the development of expertise and institutional capacity related to Ukraine’s EU accession process.
