March 02, the Department of PST held a scientific and methodological seminar, within the framework of which work was carried out to identify priority areas for the development of educational programs and to develop a set of tasks for teachers of the relevant sections.

Among other issues were:

• discussion of the department's potential for developing certification programs;
• creation of interdisciplinary and intersectional scientific groups to intensify publication activity in scientific professional journals and in publications indexed by Scopus/WOS databases;
• identification of promising areas of project activity in the context of each section;
• discussing the need for wider involvement of stakeholders (in particular, graduates, employers, practitioners) in the development of practical competencies of students within the relevant educational components.

The seminar was traditionally held in an atmosphere of teamwork.
