Specifically, in a pilot phase, it is planned to create one research group in each department. These groups will conduct activities in the fields of “International Relations”, “International Economics and Management”, and “International Law”. It is envisioned that each group will consist of 10 UWED faculty members and 1 international mentor — a leading expert. The seminar discussed proposals for each group to prepare 1-2 high-impact-factor articles indexed in Scopus within the first year of activity, achieve Q1-level publications in subsequent stages, form a sustainable chain of scientific publications, and implement this model on an institutional basis. At the conclusion of the event, participants shared proposals and opinions on ensuring the implementation of the Decree, improving the quality of scientific research, supporting young scientists, and developing the university's scientific schools.
