IFNTUOG International Projects are on a High Level of Development in the Precarpathian Region

IFNTUOG projects have also been presented among the projects at the International Project Festival, which was held on the initiative of the University. Participants of the event visited a number of laboratories and classrooms of IFNTUOG equipped with up-to-date devices bought for grant money, which will be used for educational, scientific, environmental and energy efficiency purposes of the university and Precarpathian region.

“Regional Center for Training and Monitoring of the Environmental Impact of Electrical Installations - CRIMIGE”, the main objective is to provide a joint ecological training and implement an awareness campaign regarding the environmental impact of electricity, based on surveys and experience and practices exchanges, financed by the European Union within the framework of the Hungary-Slovakia-Romania-Ukraine ENI Cross-border Cooperation Programme 2014-2020. Suitable equipment was bought within the project. 

 

 

 

 

 

  Project “Cross-border Network of Energy Sustainable Universities (NET4SENERGY)” is designed to increase the efficiency of the key universities within the HUSKROUA Cross-border region, among them IFNTUOG (Ukraine), Technical University in Kosice (Slovakia), University of Miskolc (Hungary), Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, University Center in Baia Mare (Romania). The main objective of the project is to make institutions of higher education as more energy efficient buildings and share this experience with other European countries.

A pilot system of energy monitoring for the university building was designed in one of the university building within the project NET4SENERGY, which, by the way, is unique and advanced (there is no such type of monitoring system in Ukraine or Europe). A demonstration solar power plant was also designed within the project NET4SENERGY.

 

 

 

Project “New Bachelor’s program in Renewable Energy Engineering” is being implemented at IFNTUOG, supported by U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Energy Security Project (ESP). Appropriate curriculum have been developed for this educational program, in order to prepare a sufficient number of technical specialists who will ensure the integration of renewable resources into the energy complex of Ukraine and it’s further economic development.
