From 15 to 19 June 2026, representatives of Comrat State University participated in Module 2: Summer School "Integrating Gender into Governance and Leadership", held in a hybrid format (on-site and online) at Linköping University, Sweden.

Comrat State University was represented by Tatiana Rakovcena, PhD, Associate Professor, and Nadejda Ianioglo, PhD, Associate Professor.
During the five-day programme, participants from Armenia, Moldova, and Ukraine explored contemporary European approaches to promoting gender equality, inclusive governance, leadership, and the development and implementation of public policies in the field of gender equality. The programme included lectures, practical workshops, discussions, and the exchange of experience among representatives from the Eastern Partnership countries and Europe. Particular attention was paid to the European Union Gender Equality Strategy 2026–2030, gender-based violence, gender mainstreaming, and the integration of equality principles into higher education and public administration.
