SPRING IT HOLIDAYS AT METROSCHOOL

31.03.2024

During martial law and remote education, live communication becomes extremely important, yet the online and offline experiences are radically different. An important advantage in the artificial, algorithmic, digital world is the opportunity to see something live, ask questions face-to-face, touch and explore with your own hands.
With the support of the Department of Science and Education of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration and in partnership with the Public Association ‘KHARKIV CLUSTER OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES’, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics launched an educational project – Metro School from NURE. The goal of the Metro School from NURE project is to overcome digital socialisation and fulfil students’ need for social interaction. During the spring break, 30 useful and interesting offline master classes for schoolchildren in Kharkiv were held in the safe space of the underground classrooms by a team of specialists from NURE.  The students were welcomed by Olga Shapoval, Executive Director of the Kharkiv IT Cluster, and Igor Ruban, Acting Rector of NURE. Representatives of the admissions committee talked about the basic rules for admission to Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, educational programmes and the specifics of training specialists. Master classes were held on current trends in information technology, educational interactive activities, model assembly, and testing of various devices. Leading teachers demonstrated the latest equipment, robots, modern educational technologies, computer programs, and laboratory samples to the schoolchildren.Of course, the students enjoyed the interactive part of the event the most – quests, kahuts, quizzes and raffles. All schoolchildren received gifts from NURE and our partners – leading IT companies in Ukraine: NIX, Globallogic, SoftServe, and the Kharkiv IT Cluster.

In difficult times, First Among the Best continues its educational activities in the community.

Employees of the V.V. Popovskyy Department of Infocommunication Engineering NURE took part in the project “CYBERTEENS PLATFORM”. The aim of the project is to raise schoolchildren’s awareness of cyber hygiene issues through an online learning platform, which will contribute to their protection in the information space from social and digital threats, cyber fraudsters and extortionists, etc., as well as support their psychosocial well-being.

The CyberTeens online platform is filled with a variety of educational materials. In addition to educational and methodological materials, the platform also contains comic books, scenarios of possible influences on schoolchildren, incidents and common situations in which teenagers most often find themselves. In general, the platform is an extremely useful platform where students can not only learn, but also get answers to questions that arise, and through the feedback form, consult if necessary.

INITIATE: Supporting European R&I Through Stakeholder Collaboration and Institutional Reform

20.12.2023

Aim of the project

The INITIATE project aims to empower higher education institutions to develop R&I through institution transformation. The project seeks to design an approach for this transformation that considers the institution’s needs, available resources, policy barriers, good practices from other initiatives, and potential collaboration opportunities with other institutions and local ecosystems. The process will involve iterative R&I Labs, supported by an online Knowledge Hub, to generate policy recommendations for helping stimulate R&I development and scientific excellence in Widening countries. The approach will be demonstrated in Croatia, Portugal and North Macedonia, resulting in a roadmap for long-term uptake of R&I in Widening countries with identified replication cases and an Alliance for the green energy transition to ensure the long-term sustainability of INITIATE results.
