International cooperation
The CDS department staff members are constantly working towards the establishment and expansion of international activities with educational, scientific, and commercial institutions in Europe and all around the world. Senior and postgraduate students are actively involved in the international activities. Faculty members undergo trainings, give lectures, organize international seminars and participate in various scientific and technical conferences at the universities in Germany, Poland, Belgium, Italy, Czech Republic and others.
The main purpose of the international cooperation is to gain experience and establish high standards of scientific and teaching activities in accordance with the Bologna process international rules and requirements. Through international contacts the CAD department faculty members are familiar with modern teaching trends, methodological training and technological base. This allows them to adapt and apply the best experience of the Europe leading universities in their own teaching activities.
