Investments in education and cooperation with NaUKMA
Volodymyr Nosov's active work in education has far-reaching goals. To develop education in the field of blockchain technologies and virtual assets, he started cooperation with the leading educational institution of Ukraine — the National University of “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy” (NaUKMA). This cooperation is aimed at increasing the level of crypto literacy among young people and training qualified personnel for the IT industry in Ukraine.
As part of partnership with NaUKMA, WhiteBIT contributed to the restoration of the university's historic building, where it helped to create a modern educational space for IT professionals. Two classrooms for mixed learning, a multifunctional auditorium for lectures, events, and conferences, as well as a meeting room and a classroom for student projects have been equipped.
In addition to updating the infrastructure, WhiteBIT and NaUKMA agreed to develop new educational programs, including the first in Eastern Europe Master's program “Blockchain Technologies”, whose graduates received tokenized certificates on the Whitechain blockchain. As part of the program, students were trained in cryptography in blockchain technologies, algorithms for distributed cryptocurrency exchange based on smart contracts (DeFi), development of smart contracts and technical tools for regulating cryptocurrencies in the market, which allowed them to gain in-depth knowledge in the current rapidly developing industry.
