However, there still is room for improvement. The University has developed and implemented a program to improve the energy security of the state. There are plans to establish a dual form of education so that students can combine study and work in the specialty.
The rector also announced a number of important high-level meetings that will take place in the near future in the IFNTUOG and with the participation of the university: a visiting meeting of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, meetings with representatives of the fuel and energy complex.
