As John Cotton Dana once said, those who dare to teach never stop learning.

Over the course of several days in March 2023, we, along with our colleagues and students, had the unique opportunity to participate in online lectures led by professors from leading European universities as part of the project “Digitalization of the Economy as an Element of Sustainable Development in Ukraine and Tajikistan (DigEco).” During these days, we enriched our experience with new innovative knowledge in the fields of open data, digital marketing, big data management, and data analytics for marketing.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our lecturers—Dr. Marius Laurinaitis (Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania), Saulius Kromalkas (Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania), Dr. Boštjan Brumen (University of Maribor, Slovenia), and Prof. Marina Tropmann-Frick (Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany).
