The delegation of UzhNU visited the University of Jarosław, Poland

In November last year, the Rectors of Uzhhorod National University Volodymyr Smolanka and Bronislaw Markiewicz University of Technology and Economics (Jarosław, Poland) Krystof Reiman signed a cooperation agreement that provides for the consolidation of efforts to address issues in the scientific and educational sphere, exchange of experience and dissemination of modern educational technologies. To fill the existing agreement with specific content, a delegation from UzhNU headed by Rector V. Smolanka paid a working visit to Bronislav Markevych University in Yaroslavl on 21-23 March.

During the conversations with the Rector Krystof Reiman, Vice-Rectors Rishard Pukala, Dorota Deynyak, Professors Andrzej Olejko and Jacek Holub, the Rector of UzhNU Volodymyr Smolanka, Associate Professor of the Faculty of Postgraduate Education and Pre-University Training surgeon Yurii Fatula and the head of the Information and Publishing Centre Vasyl Ilnytskyi told their Polish colleagues about the history of UzhNU, the specialities its students study, international relations, and thanked their neighbours for their sincere and powerful multifaceted support of Ukrainians in our war for freedom and independence against the Russian occupiers.

There was a lively exchange of views on the feasibility of establishing a bilateral working group of representatives of the sectoral departments of the rectorates and faculties of the two universities, which will develop practical steps to develop mutually beneficial cooperation and implement joint projects in the fields of medicine, healthcare, tourism, development of modern IT technologies, research of military history events on the Ukrainian and Polish territories, and others.

The guests toured the historic buildings that house the university administration and faculties, visited the university library, archives, history museum, as well as a modern educational and laboratory building built last year with EU funds, and talked to teachers and students.

The hosts organised excursions to the historical core of their ancient city, founded by Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kyiv, and to military forts built in the late 19th century near Przemyśl, where large-scale clashes between Austro-Hungarian and German troops and the army of tsarist russia took place during the First World War.
