In January 2013 TEMPUS project of the fourth stage “Development of education on land resources management issues in Macedonia and Ukraine” (later- Project) finished. It started in January 2010. The coordinator of the Project in Lviv NAU was doctor of economic sciences, Professor Stupen Mykhailo Hryhorovych.

New Master program on land resources management issues according to Bologna process was developed. The relevance of design and implementation of this educational program is obvious, because under conditions of functioning of land market in Ukraine there is a need for qualified professionals of land management industry, who could solve the problem for the rational use and protection of land, using market mechanisms of land resources management and the concept of sustainable development of land use.

The teachers of land management faculty also developed the new course “Land consolidation” and prepared educational materials on such disciplines as “Economics of land resources”, “Legislature as to nature resources”, “Land resources management”, “Land consolidation”. They used foreign scientific literature and information, obtained during education visits to European universities.

New academic IT environment is established at land management faculty of Lviv NAU. The potential of the teaching staff is increase due to training in Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), Krakow Agricultural University (Poland), Helsinki University of Technology (Finland), St. Cyril and Methodius University (Macedonia)

In June 2013 the monitoring of tasks implementation of Project in member universities from Ukraine will be held in Donetsk National Technical University.
