Liliia Turovska, Associate Professor of the Department of Management and Business Administration at Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National University participated in the Knowledge
Exchange Scheme (KES) Workshop for Micro- and Nanotechnology, hosted by the Department of Microsystems at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN), on May 6–7, 2025. This workshop was part of the EDUC-WIDE project funded by the Horizon Europe programme.
The event gathered representatives from Jaume I University (Spain), University of Cagliari (Italy), Masaryk University (Czech Republic), and  Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National University
(Ukraine) to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing in nanotechnology research and infrastructure development.
During the workshop, Liliia Turovska presented the PNU-NanoLab and the University research infrastructure, highlighting its capabilities in nanomaterials science, energy, and biomedical
applications. She contributed to discussions on:

– Safe handling of nanomaterials, sharing University’s practices and comparing them
with protocols used at USN and partner universities.
– Characterization techniques, with an exchange of tools, methods, and best approaches across institutions.
– Opportunities for international cooperation and joint research initiatives.

The participants toured USN’s state-of-the-art micro- and nanofabrication laboratories (a node of NorFab), and engaged in fruitful sessions exploring potential future research collaborations.
This visit strengthens University’s integration into the European Research Area (ERA) and supports the internationalization of our university’s research and innovation ecosystem.
