The work of the teachers and students of the Department was the publication of 24 theses.

We would like to especially mention Associate Professor Valerii Oleksandrovych Kolesnikov, who most actively participated in the conferences himself and included the publications of the department's students.

The participation of teachers in scientific conferences is an important factor in their professional development and improving the quality of the educational process. Conferences create opportunities for the exchange of ideas, testing research results, establishing scientific contacts and involvement in the international academic community. Regular participation in such events contributes to the updating of the content of educational components, the introduction of modern approaches and technologies in teaching, and also forms a positive image of the teacher and the educational institution as a whole.
