    To remain relevant to our applicants and students, we must adapt to modern information spaces. Otherwise, we risk losing touch. A lack of scientific publications means that research is not being conducted, just as a university's lack of representation on popular social media makes it invisible to potential students. Today, applicants choose universities that are understandable and accessible. In the current reality, these institutions are actively present on Instagram, TikTok, as well as on platforms like Fortnite, and offer Minecraft programming training. Adaptation to new forms of communication and learning will help us attract and retain students' interest in our university.
