Presentation 

In passing it should be noted that this is not the first visit of fulbrighters to our university. As result of a previous informational visit of Ms. Zalutska to Mykolayiv became MSAU participation in the "Fulbright Specialists program". The essence of the program is to invite scholars from the United States for a period up to 6 weeks for scientific work in the host institution. Every year Ukraine could get no more than 5 scholars. Mykolayiv State Agrarian University was one of the host institutions in 2012. Within four weeks, Julie Albrecht, Professor of Nutrition and Health Sciences Department, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, USA, worked in MSAU. During her stay prof. Albrecht has held several lectures and workshops, participated in round tables and seminars, published an article in the scientific journal of the University. Also one of the most significant results of cooperation became the joint project by the MSAU Agricultural Department and the University Nebraska-Lincoln’ Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources - a website of distance learning courses on various agrarian topics. Work on this project is not yet complete.
