In June-August 2020, a competition was held to select the best representatives of the ICCT faculty within the project «To the top with Roshen». 9 academics, including Professor Volodymyr Starchevskyi, Department of Physical, Analytical and General Chemistry, became the winners.

«This is not the first time we have heard about the Teacher Encouragement Program within the framework of To the top with Roshen project. It is aimed at creating conditions and motivation to improve the professional level of teaching and participation in scientific activities. However, for us, researchers, participation in such competitions is first and foremost a recognition. Recognition of what we create, what we do and live for, that is, science. «To the top with Roshen» project gives us the opportunity to feel our work is not in vain, our research is respected and appreciated,» said Professor Volodymyr Starchevskyi, Department of Physical, Analytical and General Chemistry.

Winners were selected according to the following criteria:

  • teaching quality assessment;
  • educational activities;
  • research.

By the way, the indicator of teaching quality assessment is based on student evaluation of a teacher’s professional competencies through an online survey (implemented by Roshen Corporation).

«We were evaluated according to certain criteria. By the way, when you see the result of your work, you can safely participate in the competition. That’s why I advise my colleagues not to be afraid and to actively apply for such programs,» added Volodymyr Starchevskyi.
