On September 5, 2016, a roundtable discussion titled "Building a GameLab at DonNTU" was held at DonNTU, where the progress of the international project "GameHub: University-enterprises cooperation in game industry in Ukraine" 561728-EPP-1-2015-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP was discussed.
The project is scheduled to run from 2015 to 2018. DonNTU is one of the project partners, along with NTU "KhPI", Kherson National Technical University, Odessa National Polytechnic University, Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, and Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture. The goal of the project is to create a laboratory for teaching computer game development in each Ukrainian partner university in order to improve the qualifications of DonNTU graduates, as well as to assist in the employment of ATO veterans and the unemployed, many of whom require additional training or retraining.
Teachers and students from the university's faculties, the Department of International Relations, and the Institute of Postgraduate Education took part in the roundtable. At the beginning, Vice-Rector E.O. Bashkov spoke about the project, its consortium, goals, and tasks, and highlighted the main points of the project concept at our university. After that, a discussion of problematic issues took place. The topic of the roundtable aroused significant interest among its participants.
