On October 27-28, 2021, a delegation from Karazin University headed by the University President, Tetyana Kaganovska, took part in a meeting of the Steering Committee of the International Research Project "Development of Detector Systems for Accelerator Experiments and Technologies for Accelerator Physics" (IRP IDEATE).

The international research project “IRP IDEATE” was launched in 2015. Its characteristic feature is wide involvement of French and Ukrainian undergraduate and postgraduate students in conducting joint research on the development of new detector systems and innovative acceleration technologies, for example, for medical use.
