Thanks to the new EduFund project, anybody may now contribute to higher tech education in Lviv. The subscription\u2019s easy feature allows you to pay a personal monthly donation in a convenient amount <\/span><\/i>\u2013<\/span> 1, 10, 20, 50, or $100. This money will be used to fund educational programs of Lviv IT Cluster at three local universities.

A donation equal to the cost of one coffee, a month\u2019s Netflix subscription, or a gym membership may help to develop higher education in Lviv. This is the first initiative within the Cluster\u2019s educational program IT Expert targeted at raising individual donations. It enables every citizen to demonstrate personal social responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lviv IT Cluster\u2019s educational direction is concerned with the reformation and development of innovative educational programs, the arrangement of modern labs and spaces, and providing support for students who are willing to become future IT professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

EduFund <\/span>\u2013<\/span> is the educational fund of Lviv IT Cluster.

The overarching goal is that everyone can become an investor and contribute to the advancement of higher education.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Currently, Lviv IT Cluster collaborates with three universities: Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Lviv Polytechnic National University, and Lviv State University of Life Safety. Each educational fund benefactor will be able to invest in the advancement of education. Some types of <\/span>benefactor<\/span>s will be able to pick and subscribe to one or more educational programs from the 17 existing innovative Bachelor\u2019s programs that are effectively functioning at these universities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It has previously been stated that some subscription categories would enable benefactors to choose the educational programs they want to fund in. There is a selection option in the \u201cRector\u201d and \u201cMinister of Education\u201d categories. The remaining donations from contributors or IT companies will be dispersed separately based on the needs of each program. The organizers will decide where to invest funds on their own: for the purchase of essential equipment, the establishment of additional laboratories, the purchase of licensed software, and so on. It should be noted that more than 4,000\u00a0students are now getting a degree within the Cluster\u2019s educational programs. Three modern laboratories have already opened due to the partnership of IT companies, universities, and investors. The funds invested in EduFund will hasten the process of upgrading technical education in Lviv.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
