On October 28, 2025, a regular session of the interfaculty scientific seminar “Modern Problems of Physics and Materials Science” was held in a remote format. The seminar is chaired by the Head of the Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering, Professor Anatolii S. Opanasiuk. During the seminar, a report was presented by Oleksandr Valeriiovych Pylypenko, PhD in Physics and Mathematics, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Electronics, General and Applied Physics, and Head of the Center for Collective Use of Scientific Equipment “Materials Science Laboratory of Helioenergetic, Sensor and Nanoelectronic Systems”, entitled “Capabilities of the Center for Collective Use of Scientific Equipment ‘Materials Science’ for Conducting Research by Scientists of Sumy State University.” In his presentation, the speaker introduced the audience to the capabilities of the center, provided a brief overview of all instruments operating at the center, and outlined the areas of their application for the study of various objects.
Plans for expanding the center’s activities through the acquisition of new, modern, high-cost equipment were also discussed. On this issue, the Vice-Rector for Research of Sumy State University, Professor A.M. Chornous, addressed the audience and presented the plans for equipment procurement in the near future. The participants expressed their suggestions regarding the need to purchase specific instruments. The seminar, which was attended by 39 participants, concluded with questions addressed to the speaker and the Vice-Rector.
It should be noted that the seminar was conducted using a new methodology and was organized by the Human Resources Development Center of Sumy State University. This made it possible to disseminate information about the seminar to a wider audience of lecturers and students through notifications in the participants’ personal accounts. From now on, participation in the seminar will be credited with hours that can be used for professional development within the accumulative system.
