Important Announcement: Merger of Ukrainian Academy of Printing with Lviv Polytechnic University
Today, on June 28, the Academic Council of Lviv Polytechnic University has approved the merger of the Ukrainian Academy of Printing with the university. As a result of this decision, the Institute of Printing and Media Technologies will be established, incorporating seven specialized departments.
Yaroslav Uhryn, Vice-Rector for Scientific and Pedagogical Work of the Ukrainian Academy of Printing, has announced that all employees of the academy will either be dismissed or reassigned to other units of Lviv Polytechnic University by August 30. Professors of specialized departments will join the newly formed Institute of Printing, while administrative staff and teachers of general education departments will be integrated into other university units.

In November 2022, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine proposed merging the Ukrainian Academy of Printing with Ivan Franko Lviv National University, which resulted in protests from students and institution activists.
