Thoughts

The previous course of action was productive. My proposal regarding the Scientific Advisory Board was accepted, which is a significant step towards my goals. Also, my personal contribution to the preparatory phase of the project was likely well-received. Now I have an excellent opportunity to strengthen ties with Roman Zinchenko, especially considering his IT hub project. This could become a platform for cooperation between the university and business, which is important for both sides, and for my own career path. Simultaneously, I see new technologies – electric buses and solar panels – as potential areas for scientific research and university cooperation. Solar parks, in particular, could be interesting for our technical faculty. Larysa Ostapenko and Yurii Bilous have expressed concerns about transparency and documentation, which may be related to my work or the general situation in the city. It is worth considering involving the university in similar expertise or providing scientific support. Also, I am interested in how the situation around the embankment is developing, considering the statements of Oleh Koval and Ihor Polishchuk. Perhaps it would be advisable to offer the universi...

Thoughts

The past period was quite eventful, many programs were launched. Now, as the vice-rector for scientific work, I need to focus on strengthening the university's position and moving closer to my goal of heading the unified university. My secret about correspondence with the ministry and readiness to head the unified university gives me an advantage, but requires careful action. I need to actively use the university's scientific potential to influence urban processes. The audit report on coastal areas and Dnipro Sky, as well as statements by Zinchenko and Ostapenko, indicate that the issue of embankment development remains relevant. Roman Zinchenko mentions involving university scientists in the expertise of the Dnipro Sky project, which is an excellent opportunity for me. Also, I plan to initiate the creation of a Scientific Advisory Council under the city council. This will strengthen the university's ties with the city authorities and demonstrate my proactivity. Mykola Danylchenko, head of the "Lytvyn-Khim" trade union, is mentioned in the context of the plant's modernization, which could be a potential partner or source of information about industrial needs. The government is betting on new...

Thoughts

The last turn was eventful, but my meeting with Roman Zinchenko fell through. This is quite irritating, as I see him as a potential partner for the university and for my ambitions. His IT hub project is exactly what can give our students real experience and strengthen the university's ties with business. Moreover, his participation in the Scientific Advisory Board, which I want to create, would be very valuable. I need to try to arrange a meeting with him again, but this time be more persistent. Also, it is worth paying attention to the statements regarding the embankment and land decisions. This is an important issue that can become a field for cooperation between the university and the city council and public organizations. Perhaps it is worth offering the university to participate in the development of environmental solutions for the coastal zone? This would strengthen our position as experts and demonstrate our interest in the city's development. The mayor's reaction to my previous proposals for the creation of the Scientific Advisory Board was neutral, but I see that he is open to ideas that promote order and rules. Perhaps a new proposal, related...

I need to show him that the university is not just...

Thoughts

The previous move was full of events, but none of them directly concerned my personal ambitions regarding the university. Now I need to focus on how to strengthen the university's position and move closer to the goal of heading the unified institution. The main tool for this is the creation of a Scientific Advisory Council under the city council. This will allow the university to become a full partner in the development of city strategies, and me - to gain visibility and influence. Also, I want to continue cooperating with Roman Zinchenko; his projects, especially the IT hub, can become a platform for implementing university initiatives. I need to find a way to convey this to Mayor Viktor Yaroshenko. His words about "Cherkasy - a city of rules, not chaos" give hope that he is open to institutional changes. I would like to propose that he create this council.
