 The staff of the Research and Education Institute of Innovative Educational Technologies of TNEU encourages to use the time in quarantine with benefit! Quarantined higher education students have free access to courses through the Coursera for Campus platform. Register and Learn Safely! https://www.coursera.org/?authMode=signup

 For two weeks now, TNEU Law Faculty's youth has been helping elderly people, people with disabilities, and those in need during the quarantine. At present, the group of volunteers consists of about 50 people - students and teachers of TNEU, their friends, as well as the youth of the Ternopil parishes of the UGCC.

 Quarantine is not a barrier to constant self-development and learning! We bring to your attention a number of platforms that will help to spend time beneficially, learn a lot of new and interesting things, all without leaving your house!

 The national quarantine, which was to last until April 3, was extended for 21 days - until midnight April 25. The Government has adopted the corresponding decision today. Therefore, all educational institutions, regardless of ownership and management, must continue quarantining until the appropriate deadline.

 Today, the administration and the trade union committee of the Ternopil National Economic University, together with a member of the TNEU Supervisory Board, handed over two Draeger ventilators to the head of the Ternopil City Communal Emergency Hospital Yaroslav Tchaikivskyi. Medical equipment was purchased at the expense of the University staff for the needs of the residents of Ternopil. We must all stay conscious of the threat and work together to beat the virus!

 Due to the quarantine in Ukraine, the final stage of the competition for student projects is postponed to June 10-11, 2020. We would like to inform you that with the assistance and grant support of the Government of Bavaria and the Technische Hochschule Deggendorf, the winners and prize-holders of the competition will have the opportunity to attend the 10th International Conference on Advanced Computer Information Technologies (ACIT-2020) on 16 -18 September 2020 in Deggendorf, Germany.
