A modern co-working centre was opened in the GSEM UrFU thanks to the support of SKB-BANK

Today, students of GSEM received a real gift. The co-working centre of the Graduate School of Economics and Management of the UrFU was opened thanks to the efforts of the leadership of the university, the union of students and SKB-BANK. The new centre will create a single accessible interactive platform for students and will allow to conduct extra-curricular activities in a separately organized place. The co-working centre is equipped with tables, chairs, soft furniture and charging devices for phones and tablets.

«The comfortable conditions have been created for students who will be preparing for examinations in the walls of our business school, engage in public and project activities, " — said Dmitry Tolmachev, Director of the Graduate School of Economics and Management of UrFU. — You can find like-minded people, share experiences and develop your ideas in the new co-working centre. I congratulate everyone on the appearance of the first student co-working centre of the Graduate School of Economics and Management of UrFU. I am very grateful to our partner — SKB-BANK — for help in equipping the centre»

Deputy Chairman of the Board of SKB-BANK, Dmitry Ivanov remembered his student years at the opening of the center and wished that comfortable places in the university would become as much as possible.

«When I studied, there was nothing like it among students, it was often difficult to find windowsills even. About six months ago, we set up a separate IT-company in the bank, where people work in slippers. Besides, workplaces are very similar to those that are now in the new co-working center of the Graduate School of Economics and Management. You can even work on the couch. Unlike at us, bankers, who are forced to wear a tie and suits. We work there quite in other conditions. This is very cool, and I very much hope that in future there will be more such comfortable centres where you can communicate with each other, with colleagues and teachers. Well done, that you are keeping pace with progress!»
