The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the problem of material and technical support of the educational process at the university in 2025 – 2027. After listening to and discussing the report of the Vice-Rector Artur Moldovanov and the Acting Head of the Information Technology Center Mykola Semenov, the Academic Council noted that in connection with the relocation of the university due to the aggression of the Russian Federation, the loss of material and technical base is one of the main challenges for the university today. The administration and staff of the university are making significant efforts to ensure proper conditions for learning and work and have achieved certain successes. The number of rented spaces for the educational process has been increased, some of them have been renovated, a laboratory has been created in Lubny, the Innovation Center for IT Solutions has been opened in Myrhorod, international humanitarian aid in the form of educational equipment has been received from the Bath Institute (Great Britain), and computer equipment, educational equipment, furniture, etc. have been purchased. However, there are still challenges that need to be overcome in order to continue to provide a modern and safe educational process. Among them, the most difficult is certainly the limited financial capabilities of the university. Based on the results of the discussion, it was decided to implement a number of steps to improve the university’s material and technical base and attract additional funds.
