Boryviter
Center of Excellence
About Us +
The Boryviter Center of Excellence is a non-profit organization that integrates training, analytics, and innovative projects to strengthen Ukraine’s defence capabilities, alongside policy development in the security and defence sector. The organization fosters the development of the Defence Forces through educational programs, conducts research on Ukraine’s wartime experience, implements effective international practices and technologies, and facilitates reforms and transformations in the military sector to support Ukraine’s integration into Euro-Atlantic structures.
Over three years of operation, Boryviter has scaled from a Military School, providing free training for units of Ukraine’s Defence Forces, into a Center of Excellence whose activities are aimed at strengthening the resilience of both Ukraine and Europe against security challenges. The School continues to function as a separate public organization.
