“The main objective of my professional activity is to be a so-called “interlink” between generations of our forefathers and our descendants. During the whole period of my work at Lviv Polytechnic University, I saw my primary task in maintenance of the traditional high level of educational, methodological and academic work of our team that was developed throughout centuries. We need to preserve the heritage in the sphere of methodology, at the European level of education, in the essence of creative and academic fundamentals. Feeling and understanding my personal responsibility for this, I tried to do my best to achieve this goal. Naturally, I would never be able to do it without the support of our team…”
