\nThe workshop speaker, Nataliia Nianchuk, Associate Professor at\u00a0the Department of\u00a0Banking at\u00a0ONEU, presented the #HEInnovate tool, which enables universities to\u00a0evaluate their own innovation potential and identify directions for further development.
\nIn\u00a0addition to\u00a0the practical work with the self-assessment tool, Nataliia Nianchuk also introduced participants to\u00a0the activities of\u00a0the #U! REKA (Urban Research and Education Knowledge Alliance) and the opportunities that participation in\u00a0the #U! Innovate project opens for #ONEU.
\nThe workshop sparked great interest: students actively participated in\u00a0discussions, raising questions about the practical application of\u00a0#HEInnovate for the university\u2019s development, while faculty members emphasized the importance of\u00a0the methodology for strategic planning and the integration of\u00a0innovative approaches into the educational process.
\nThe event became another step for #ONEU toward strengthening innovation and international cooperation, while also confirming the university community\u2019s readiness to\u00a0actively contribute to\u00a0the creation of\u00a0#climate-neutral and #smartcities of\u00a0the future.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”60512″ img_size=”1000*750″ alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”60518″ img_size=”602*800″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
