Information and Computer Center

One of the important characteristics of a higher education institution is the degree of use of modern computer and information technologies in solving educational, managerial, financial, and economic problems, which determines the competitiveness of universities and prospects for their development.

To coordinate work in this direction, in 1976 a computer center was established at the university, which was further reformed into the Information and Computer Center (ICC). Its first chief was Yu.M. Lushchan, and the scientific supervisor was Prof DSc O.P. Alexiev. The main areas of work of the ICC on the implementation of information technologies at the university are as follows:
