For more than a month, the valuable cargo travelled across Europe to Ukraine to become a part of the innovative, 100-seat auditorium named after Academician Volodymyr Vernadskyi of Poltava Polytechnic!

The innovative auditorium has been easily transformed into a large-scale conference hall, where we can hold various professional events, invite representatives of business companies and conduct a constructive dialogue with scientists from different parts of our country.
