On 18 June, Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University hosted the official opening of its modernised Engineering Laboratory, in collaboration with Noosphere Engineering School. This state-of-the-art educational space will operate within the Department of Computer Systems and Networks at the Institute of Physical, Technical and Computer Sciences.
The opening was attended by Ruslan Biloskurskyi, Rector of Chernivtsi National University; Heorhii Vorobets, Head of the Department of Computer Systems and Networks; Ihor Mosin, Head of the Laboratory and laboratory assistant at the department; Ivan Zagorulko, head of the Noosphere Engineering School network, representatives of the city council, the IT companies Elogic and Datawiz, as well as lecturers and students.
During his speech, Ruslan Biloskurskyi highlighted the significant modernisation of the institute’s material and technical infrastructure over the past two years and expressed his sincere gratitude to all partners who are not afraid of complex challenges and who help to advance university research. He also emphasised the need to work as effectively and responsibly as possible in the current circumstances, thanks to the time that Ukraine’s defenders are buying for us.
The upgraded laboratory will serve as a powerful platform for developing engineering skills. Here, students will be able to conduct scientific research, as well as create, test and launch their own IT start-ups. To ensure it is fully operational, the space has already been equipped with modern electronics and the necessary components.
This large-scale refurbishment of the learning environment was made possible thanks to our university’s active collaboration with the city authorities, the NGO ‘Noosphere Association’ and local technology businesses. This has enabled us to significantly improve the institute’s facilities and create the most comfortable conditions possible for effective teamwork amongst students.
It is expected that the engineering laboratory will become not only a convenient venue for practical STEM classes and student hackathons, but also a powerful driver for the development of the region’s entire engineering and technology ecosystem.
