Center for the collective use of scientific equipment was set up at the initiative of KNURE with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (According to the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine of April 12, 2019, No. 475 which deals with the creation of the Center for the collective use of scientific equipment). Center for the collective use of scientific equipment is a structural subdivision of the Scientific and Research Department (According to a decision of the Academic Council of the KNURE of April 26, 2019, No. 475 and according to the Order of the Rector of June 4, 2019 No. 256).
Center for the collective use of scientific equipment was created with the purpose of the most rational use of unique scientific equipment of import and domestic production, modernization (updating) and the development of laboratory research facilities and obtaining research results at a modern level by KNURE scientists, other scientific institutions (organizations) of Ukraine and the world.
The Center is aimed at promoting the research and scientific and technical developments, the results of which have national and international recognition, the implementation of the most important and relevant directions for science and technology development for the state by providing domestic and foreign scientists, industry representatives and other interested parties and organizations with the access to unique scientific equipment.
The main tasks of the Center:
- providing opportunities for scientists of the University and other institutions of the Ministry of Education, foreign scientists, industry representatives, other interested parties and organizations to conduct research by using the scientific equipment of the Center;
- promoting the scientific and scientific and technical activity of institutions (organizations) of Ukraine aimed at obtaining scientific and technical result which is in accordance with the state’s priorities to ensure the development of the economy, society, strengthening national security, and etc.;
- specialist-experimenters training as well as internships for students, graduate students and young scientists on the basis of the Center.
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH FIELDS
Fields of the experimental research are classified into two categories: defense and non-defense. Scientific researches are constantly conducted in each specified category, concrete results are supported by patents and publications in the authoritative scientific journals, research teams have been formed under the scientific supervision of the leading scientists.
The priorities of the defense field:
- Laser and optoelectronic technologies, systems and devices.
- Radio detection and ranging, radio monitoring and satellite navigation.
- Optical and radar systems for monitoring of aerial objects and trajectory measurement systems.
- Detection and identification systems of radioemitting objects.
- Systems with the integrated processing of optical, radar and acoustic signals in the presence of interference.
- Electromagnetic compatibility and protection of electronic equipment from electromagnetic radiation.
The priorities of the non-defense field:
- Industrial systems on the basis of laser and optoelectronic technologies for various purposes.
- Technologies for manufacturing of polymer printing plates and flexographic printing technologies.
- Systems and technologies of “technical vision”.
- Оther interdisciplinary research.
The Center provides service for experimental research from:
- departments and scientific subdivisions of KNURE (according to the agreed research plans)
- other higher education institutes and scientific establishments of the Ministry of Education and Science or the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine;
- foreign scientific establishments, organizations and enterprises (on a commercial basis);
- organizations and enterprises of Ukraine that are not subordinate to the Ministry of Education and Science (on a commercial basis).
