Director of the Institute of Energy Viktor Barskov’s Address on the New Academic Year

For all of us, the beginning of a new academic year marks a new stage, bringing new challenges, plans, and opportunities. For students, it is a time to gain knowledge, develop new skills, and take their first steps towards a professional career. For our faculty and researchers, it is an opportunity to share their expertise, conduct research, and work together with students to find solutions to the pressing challenges facing the energy sector. For our staff, it is a time of engaging professional tasks, putting our plans into action, and working together, where everyone’s contribution helps us achieve our shared goals.

I am confident that the year ahead will be both exciting and rewarding. We can look forward to new projects, research initiatives, educational activities, professional meetings, and, of course, challenges that will require knowledge, patience, and perseverance.

I wish all of us every success in meeting these challenges, supporting one another, staying passionate about what we do, and embracing new ideas. I wish our students success in their studies and many exciting discoveries; our faculty and researchers inspiration and new achievements in their work; and our staff engaging professional challenges, the energy to meet them, and new heights in their careers.

May the academic year ahead be a time of new opportunities, professional growth, inspiring events, and meaningful achievements for us all.

Happy Knowledge Day!
Wishing you every success and all the very best!
