Year: 2025

From February 8 to February 12, scientists and scholars from Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University participated in the V Winter School for Advanced Training of the Innovative University. This year’s theme of the project is “The University and its Relations with the Environment.”

On February 10, Acting Rector of PNU Ihor Tsependa delivered a lecture to the school participants entitled “The University and the City: the University for the City or the City for the University.”

The V Winter School is a unique educational and research project that brings together young scientists, lecturers, and experts to discuss vital issues related to the university’s interaction with the  environment.

Participation in such events contributes to the development of the university’s innovative potential and strengthens its ties with the society.

Today in Warsaw Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University and the University of Warsaw signed an appendix to the Agreement on the scientific and educational cooperation. The document was signed by Zygmunt Lalak, Vice-Rector for Scientific Work of the University of Warsaw and Valentyna Yakubiv, the First Vice-Rector for Scientific and International Cooperation of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University.

This agreement is to attract new opportunities for the development of a joint scientific project – the International Scientific Center “Observatory”. The observatory situated on Mount Pip Ivan is not only a unique architectural monument, but also a powerful scientific and research facility that can become a center for international research in astronomy, meteorology, climatology, and ecology.

Both parties agreed to jointly work on the search and implementation of grant programs, to create an international scientific journal, and to conduct academic lecturers and students exchanges.

Among the important issues discussed, one should single out the cooperation between universities in creating the International Center for Student Youth in Mykulychyn. This center will become a meeting place for both Ukrainian and Polish youth engaged in intercultural dialogue, as well as joint educational and social initiatives. It will contribute to the integration of students into the international academic environment and expand their opportunities for personal and professional development.

Jan Malicki, the Director of the East European Studies Department at the University of Warsaw that would take part the implementation of the prospective joint projects, drew attention to the fact that they would strengthen scientific and cultural ties between Ukraine and Poland.

For three days, Viktoriia Savchyn, Chairperson of the Student Senate, and Veronika Ozarko, Secretary, represented Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University at the 7th International Scientific and Practical Conference of Student Self-Government Bodies “Ukrainian Hogwarts: Legilimens secrets of student thoughts”.

The event was held at Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University. Participants had the opportunity to discuss important issues of student self-government, including delegation of responsibilities, grant funding, crisis management, implementation of successful projects and institutional continuity.
