Teaching Activities

The INTEREPO educational programme provides a coherent learning pathway in EU integrated reporting. It connects financial reporting, sustainability and corporate governance and translates CSRD and ESRS requirements into clear learning modules, practical cases and professional tools.

Over three years, the project will deliver 390 teaching hours, with 130 hours provided each year, through three connected educational components. The courses target Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD students, early-career professionals, academic staff and practitioners in accounting, finance, auditing, management and sustainability.

Teaching Approach

INTEREPO combines academic quality with practical preparation. Course content will draw on current EU regulation, project research, corporate examples and the experience of experts from Ukraine and EU Member States. The team will collect participant feedback, update the materials and regularly verify that learning outcomes remain consistent with Erasmus+ Jean Monnet objectives.

Together, the three courses create a progressive learning pathway covering international financial reporting, the practical application of CSRD and ESRS, and a comprehensive understanding of EU integrated reporting.
