In challenging times, true partnerships make all the difference. The National Technical University «Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute» (NTU «KhPI») is proud to share how our collaboration with the leading global tech company, Logitech, is helping shape the future of education at our institution! To mark our 140th anniversary, Logitech generously provided NTU «KhPI» with a wide range of state-of-the-art equipment, including mice, keyboards, webcams, and professional video conferencing systems like the Logitech MeetUp and Logitech PTZ Pro System, as a charitable contribution.
This support was made possible thanks to the initiative of Anatoliy Bilozerov, an NTU «KhPI» alumnus and current Logitech team member, and the direct appeal by Oleksiy Larin, Director of the Institute for Computer Modeling, Applied Physics, and Mathematics (ICM). Together, their cooperation brought this vital project to life at an extremely important time for Ukrainian education.
The received equipment has been distributed among structural units that have a constant need for updating computer peripheral devices. This includes the directorates of the institutes, the educational and methodological departments, accounting, the publishing and editorial department, the central admissions committee, and the apparatus of the Academic Council.
The donated equipment is already making a substantial impact! It is actively used in academic defenses, large-scale conferences and events, and the special ceremonial session of the Academic Council marking the university’s 140th anniversary. Logitech’s professional video conferencing systems have transformed how our faculty and students connect, enabling modern communication for both small meetings and large-scale events.
Looking forward, we’re especially proud of how this partnership has inspired the next generation. During the STEM Championship of Kharkiv for high school students, which involved pupils from all districts of the city, Logitech provided modern prizes: gaming mice for the most enthusiastic participants and webcams for their dedicated mentors who nurture future technology leaders.
The valuable prizes were received by students from Kharkiv schools No. 168 and No. 18. During the final round, teams who were the first to correctly answer a series of difficult and clever questions crucial to the modern development of electronics and programmable systems received certificates for the Logitech gifts, which were later exchanged for the equipment.
NTU «KhPI» is deeply grateful to Logitech and its alumnus Anatoliy Bilozerov for their support, which not only strengthens the university’s digital infrastructure but also holds special significance in the context of the full-scale war. At a time when Ukraine’s educational institutions operate under constant threats and face resource shortages, the assistance of international partners is a vital contribution to preserving scientific potential and ensuring the continuity of the educational process.
Thank you, Logitech, for helping us overcome challenges, inspire young talent, and build a resilient tomorrow, thank you for being an example of global solidarity during difficult times for Ukraine. Together, we are showing that education persists even in the most challenging conditions, and innovation remains the key to a brighter future.
