supported by the Academic Council.

In his report on the results of the 2024 fiscal year, Vice-Rector for Economic and Business Activities

Research Department, Roman YAROSHCHUK, on the state and prospects of using the scientific
equipment of Sumy NAU. Vice-Rector for Scientific and International Activities Yurii DANKO and
