On the basis of the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic, a children’s and youth scientific university «Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic» was created, which set the goal of popularizing disciplines of mathematical and natural sciences and engineering professions, STEM education. During discussions and negotiations with the coordinator of the relevant program of the Gdansk Polytechnic, Dr. Beata Palczynska, real steps were outlined to exchange experience with European universities in working with youth and not only.
The future cooperation of our universities will allow us to implement joint projects that will demonstrate and show future engineers the direction in which they need to move in order to implement innovative solutions in education. It is also worth considering the future trajectory of professional growth of future engineers and the development of new technologies. Our experts met with Polish colleagues to see how such educational concepts work at the Gdańsk Polytechnic. The delegation told the hospitable hosts about our industrial, powerful, beautiful city of Zaporizhzhia, about the wonderful Cossack region, the island of Khortytsia, conveyed greetings from our Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the IAM cluster, the city’s enterprises (LTD Infocom, JSC Motor-Sich and others) and invited teachers from the Gdansk Polytechnic to visit us next year.
