Today in Warsaw, an addendum to the Agreement between Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University and the University of Warsaw on scientific and educational cooperation was signed. The document was solemnly signed by Zygmund Laliak, Vice-Rector for Research at the University of Warsaw, and Valentyna Yakubiv, First Vice-Rector for Research and International Cooperation at the Carpathian University.
This agreement opens up new opportunities for the development of a joint research project – the International Research Center “Observatory”. The Observatory on Mount Pip Ivan is not only a unique architectural monument, but also a powerful research facility that can become a center for international research in the fields of astronomy, meteorology, climatology, and ecology.
The parties agreed to jointly search for and implement grant programs, create an international scientific journal, and conduct academic exchanges of students and teachers.
The importance of cooperation between universities in establishing an International Student Youth Meeting Center in Mykulychyn was emphasized. This center will become a space for intercultural dialogue, joint educational and social initiatives of young people from Ukraine and Poland. It will facilitate the integration of students into the international academic environment and expand their opportunities for personal and professional development.
Jan Malicki, Director of East European Studies at the University of Warsaw, who also took part in the signing ceremony, emphasized the relevance of these projects for strengthening scientific and cultural ties between Ukraine and Poland. It is this unit of the University of Warsaw that is responsible for the implementation of the projects.
Deepening cooperation between universities is an important step for the implementation of innovative ideas, international partnerships, and the development of the educational potential of the Carpathian region.
