IT DEPARTMENT AND INTERMARIUM: INNOVATIVE SIMULATION TOOLS FOR FUTURE IT PROFESSIONALS

The Department of Information Technologies at Sumy State University continues to develop a strategic partnership with InterMarium (https://intermarium.com.pl/en/homepage/) – the official representative of FlexSim software in our region. The main objective of this collaboration is the integration of advanced simulation modeling technologies into the educational process, research activities, and project-based work of the department.
Thanks to the support of InterMarium, students and academic staff gain access to FlexSim software, which enables the creation of detailed 3D models of complex systems, data analytics, and optimization of business processes even before their real-world implementation.
The integration of FlexSim into the educational process allows our graduates to acquire unique competencies that are critically important for the modern Industry 4.0 / 5.0 landscape.
The key areas of cooperation include:
- licensing support: the use of licensed FlexSim software within the department’s academic courses to train highly qualified specialists;
- practice-oriented thesis projects: opportunities for bachelor’s and master’s students to develop qualification projects based on real-world cases, including:
-
-
- manufacturing: modeling of automated production lines, workshops, and production cycles;
- service sector: optimization of warehouse operations, distribution systems, and service networks;
-
- grant activities: joint participation in international and national grant projects. InterMarium acts as a reliable technological partner, providing the department’s research teams with licensed software and expert support.
Cooperation with InterMarium opens new opportunities for the scientific and professional growth of our faculty and students and strengthens Sumy State University’s position as a leader in digital innovation.
