Sumy National Agrarian University launched a new collaboration with Labster, the world’s leading virtual science lab platform. The aim of the partnership is to expand opportunities for students and researchers to conduct laboratory experiments regardless of the availability of physical equipment.
Labster is a digital platform that provides interactive 3D simulations of laboratory experiments in biology, chemistry, physics, biotechnology, earth sciences, and other subjects. Virtual laboratories allow you to explore practical processes, conduct experiments, analyse data, and work with modern scientific equipment — all online, directly from your computer or tablet.
For SNAU, which operates under challenging conditions, the ability to implement a full range of physics laboratories with up-to-date equipment is often difficult. That is why the partnership with Labster is an important step. It stimulates scientific activity, provides an opportunity to master practical skills and conduct research even in remote circumstances.
Thanks to the collaboration with Labster, students and researchers at SNAU from various subjects — biology, veterinary medicine, agrobiotechnology, ecology, chemistry, agricultural technologies — will have access to virtual experiments that were previously only available in modern laboratories. This format of education and science will improve the quality of training, increase the flexibility of the educational process, and make it possible to combine theory with practice in a digital environment, even during wartime.
Natalia VOLCHENKO, Head of the International Relations Department at SNAU, noted that cooperation with Labster provides significant support for the development of the scientific environment in our frontline community. According to her, practical experiments are the basis of competence in agricultural science, and virtual laboratories in the era of digitalisation are a reliable solution that allows research to continue even when physical conditions are limited.
SNAU expresses its gratitude to the Labster platform for its willingness to support the university, provide access to innovative educational technologies, and assist in the development of science under difficult conditions. We are convinced that this partnership is a new and important stage in the development of our institution’s research activities.
