In the context of increasing reliance on digital infrastructure, UTCN must prioritize technological resilience to ensure academic continuity, innovation, and equitable access to knowledge. This web page advocates for the strategic adoption of open science and open source tools within UTCN ecosystems. By embracing open platforms, UTCN can reduce dependence on costly proprietary systems, enhance reproducibility, and foster collaboration across disciplines and borders. Open tools empower educators, researchers, and students to adapt, innovate, and contribute to a more transparent and inclusive academic environment. This approach not only future-proofs the UTCN technological capabilities but also aligns with the core values of academia—openness, accessibility, and shared progress.
UTCN is also dedicated to integrating Open Educational Resources (OER) into its digital ecosystem, further advancing accessibility and innovation in education and transforming educational experiences.UseScience is a catalog containing laboratory equipment, ICT and specialist tools.
