Germany obtains many raw materials from the project's target countries and is concerned about fair supply chains so that the demand for raw materials is not met at the expense of the environment and the health of people in neighbouring countries. The seminars are aimed at experts, interested parties and students in the four countries. Simultaneous interpreting is available for Russian, Ukrainian and German. The recordings will also be made available to the partners afterwards to enable knowledge transfer.
