Presentation of student startups Cool Idea

On May 16, the final of the Cool Idea university competition for student startups, held as part of the Science Festival, took place in the reading room of the Scientific Library of the NUWEE.

As noted by the head of the Center for Innovation and Technology Transfer, Vita Chaban, the competition is held in two nominations:

- "Best technological startup" (IT, environmental protection, engineering, robotics);

- "Best social startup" (education, community development, art, health care, law, economy, management, business).

The competition made it possible to learn to create in a team and in an environment of like-minded people, which promotes progressive ideas and innovations in various fields, and also equips students with practical knowledge and skills they need to navigate the key rules of implementing this or that project. Creating projects also helped to master soft skills in practice (soft skills - a set of non-specialized skills that are responsible for successful participation in the work process, high productivity and are not related to a specific field), which are very important for effective teamwork.
