The Educational and Scientific Institute of Agroecology and Land Management (ESIAML) was established in 2013. It consists of the Faculty of Ecology and Natural Resource Management (FENRM) and the Faculty of Land Management and Geoinformatics (FLMG), which were formed as a result of the division of the Faculty of Ecology and Land Management in 2003.
The Faculty of Ecology and Land Management (FELM) was established by the decision of the Academic Council of the Ukrainian State Academy of Water Management on May 29, 1995. The faculty included the departments of Ecology, Meliorative Soil Science and Agriculture, Chemistry, Foreign Languages, and Geodesy.
The first dean of the faculty (1995-2006) was Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, ProfessorMykola Oleksandrovych Klymenko.The result of the work of the team he led was the licensing and accreditation of new modern specialties.
After the division of FELM in 2003, the Faculty of Ecology and Natural Resource Management was headed by Professor M.O. Klymenko (2003-2006) and Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Professor S.I. Veremeyenko (2006-2013), while the deans of the Faculty of Land Management and Geoinformatics were Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor P.H. Chernyaga (2003-2009) and Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor A.H. Lishchynsky (2009-2013).
Since 2016, the director of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Agroecology and Land Management is Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, ProfessorAlla Mykolaivna Pryshchepa.
Today, the ESIAML includes departments: Ecology, Environmental Protection and Forestry Technology; Land Management, Cadastre, Land Monitoring and Geoinformatics; Geodesy and Cartography; Agrochemistry, Soil Science and Agriculture; Aquatic Biological Resources; Chemistry and Physics; Tourism.
Thirteen doctors of sciences, professors, and 62 candidates of sciences, associate professors work at the institute's seven departments.
The institute has ten educational laboratories; fifteen specialized classrooms; a scientific electronic library; two press centers for holding press conferences and professional training of specialists.
Considering the high level of organization of the educational process, the institute prepares specialists capable of solving ecology and natural resource management problems, conducting environmental monitoring, and developing scientifically justified land management projects for rational territory organization.
The institute trains specialists at the educational level of 'bachelor' in the following areas: ecology; environmental protection technologies; geodesy, cartography, and land management; agronomy; aquatic bioresources and aquaculture; tourism; hotel and restaurant management.
Also, the Institute of Environmental and Agricultural Sciences prepares specialists under the following master's educational and professional programs:
Since 2016, two departments of the Institute of Environmental and Agricultural Sciences (the Department of Agrochemistry, Soil Science, and Agronomy; the Department of Ecology, Environmental Protection Technologies, and Forestry) have been training candidates at the third level (PhDs) under the educational and scientific program 'Agronomy.' In 2021, an educational and scientific program for third-level candidates 'Ecology' was introduced at the institute.
The Department of Agrochemistry, Soil Science, and Agronomy has a scientific school led by Professor Stepan Tikhonovych Vozniuk, and the Department of Ecology, Environmental Protection Technologies, and Forestry has a scientific school led by Professor Mykola Oleksandrovych Klymenko.
A specialized academic council for the defense of candidate dissertations in the specialties 06.01.03 – agro-soil science and agrophysics, 03.00.16 - ecology (agricultural sciences) was opened and successfully operated until December 31, 2021 (the head of the council – Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Professor Mykola Oleksandrovych Klymenko; deputy head of the council - Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Professor V.S. Moshynskyi).
The Educational and Scientific Institute of Agroecology and Land Management has modern material and technical support for conducting the educational process, scientific research, and preparing competitive specialists in the labor market. To enhance practical training, there are 5 branches of departments functioning (2 branches of the Department of Agrochemistry, Soil Science and Agriculture, 2 branches of the Department of Tourism and Hotel-Restaurant Business, and 1 branch of Aquatic Bioresources). The institute has established an Employers' Council and a Graduates' Council that continuously monitor educational programs, provide internship bases, and contribute to the employment of graduates.
DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT OF THE EDUCATIONAL AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTE OF AGROECOLOGY AND LAND MANAGEMENT
The goal of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Agroecology and Land Management is to assist the university in obtaining the status of a self-governing (autonomous) research national university, which entails a comprehensive resolution of issues related to the modernization of the educational process in the context of sustainable development.
Prerequisites for the implementation of the concept:
Research and innovation activities
The goal is to conduct a wide range of fundamental, applied, and exploratory research, implement highly effective master's training and higher qualification staff, and be a leader in organizing and developing innovative scientific and entrepreneurial activities. The profile of scientific research should be relevant and carried out in priority areas of science and technology development.
Tasks:
Restructuring and personnel management
The personnel policy is a component of the strategic policy of the Institute that allows aligning the personnel potential with accreditation requirements. The formation and implementation of the personnel policy are based on the principles of systemicity, innovation, and social protection of employees. The goal is to create a system for the formation, development, and management of the staffing of the Institute, possessing a high level of professionalism necessary to achieve objectives and corresponding to the goal of collective development.
Tasks:
International Activities
The aim of international cooperation is to expand long-term Institute programs for collaboration in student exchange, research activities, information technology exchange, and to strengthen the authority of NUVHP in the global community. Achieving international standards of education quality and scientific research is impossible without the implementation of the experience of leading foreign educational and research institutions into the educational process and the sphere of scientific activity of the Institute.
Tasks:
Social sphere and student life
The aim of the strategic development of the Institute is to raise the social status of educators and scientists, provide social protection for staff, students, and postgraduates.
Tasks:
Material and technical base and financial support
Goal — preservation, continuous development, and renewal of the material and technical base to meet the needs of the educational, scientific, upbringing, and social processes, as well as financial support for the effective functioning of the university structure.
