On March 24, the walls of our university became a platform for discussing innovations and scientific and technological development – a hybrid meeting of the IEEE Student Branch of the West Ukrainian National University was held in video-conference room 11103. The participants of the event focused on strategic plans for the branch’s development, discussing future projects, and expanding opportunities for professional growth of young specialists and scientists within the international community.
The student branch was established in 1998 and has now received a second wind. Today, the student branch unites 12 proactive students and postgraduates of various courses and specialties of the Faculty of Computer and Information Technologies who seek to develop in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, and computer science.
The meeting was initiated by Prof. Anatoliy Sachenko – advisor to the branch with the assistance of Assoc. Prof. Pavlo Bykovyy – head of the IEEE Department of Measurements/Instrumentation and Computational Intelligence. Assoc. Prof. Lesia Dubchak – Head of the Department of Computer Engineering was also invited to the meeting.
