Founding Chornobyl University.

For years we led people through the Zone and every time knew a little more about it: about the accident, the liquidation, the consequences, the people. Research, lectures, seminars, academic tours, guide training - all of it had been accumulating since 2009.

When the flow of visitors grew sharply, it became clear that guides could no longer be trained "on the go." A real course was needed - one that met international university standards in both content and teaching methods.

So knowledge needed its own structure. Just as charity had once needed a separate Volunteer Center CHORNOBYL: so as not to mix everything together.

Chornobyl University was presented at the Interfax-Ukraine press center. Together with Sergii Mirnyi and Yaroslav Yemelianenko, it was presented by Kateryna Pavlova, acting head of the Exclusion Zone Agency, and Serhii Kvasha, vice-rector of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences. The first program shown was the training program for guides of the Chornobyl Zone.

The university is headed by Sergii Mirnyi. Its lecturers include Kateryna Aslamova and Oleh Nasvit. Lectures are given both in person and online.
