On the last Saturday of June the Day of Inventors and Innovators is celebrated every year. At SUSU, researchers work on developments, work on inventions, and form innovative propositions all year.

The issue of preparing workers for modern employers has not lost its importance and relevance. The largest employers typically solve the issue of graduates’ under-preparedness for the business’ real needs by creating corporate universities, the goal of which is to teach the missing knowledge, and sometimes re-teach university graduates.
Today, the law has presented employers a chance to evaluate graduates’ preparedness using a mechanism of professional accreditation.
