The first participants of a large-scale “Battle of the Universities” in Kharkiv City became the students of National Aerospace University named after N.E. Zhukovsky “Kharkiv Aviation Institute”, National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” and Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics.

Roman Katerinchik, CEO of Artjoker, performed before the students, shared his memories that it was the classroom where he passed entrance examination to KhAI, and was glad that project authors were looking for new ways of development, and did not follow such standard as “University – Work in Outsourcing Companies”.
