An educational makerspace at the Peremoha Startup and Innovation Center of Chernihiv Polytechnic National University.
Peremoha Lab is a makerspace at Chernihiv Polytechnic National University, where science, culture, and civic life come together to foster innovation at the intersection of various fields.
The space serves as a meeting platform for researchers, scientists, artists, designers, and other creative minds to encourage interdisciplinary exchange and the creation of innovative projects. It also supports the growth of the local maker community by offering a collaborative and educational environment.
“Our goal is to revitalize the Soviet-era cinema ‘Peremoha’ by transforming it into a modern science and arts center that merges culture and education while fostering groundbreaking ideas.”
The first renovated space of the former cinema is Peremoha Lab — an open-access workshop equipped with digital tools such as 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, and more. Established in 2023, the lab was revived through the efforts of local volunteers, students, and the Tolocar project. It complements academic education at Chernihiv Polytechnic National University and inspires the community to carry out hands-on, project-based work.
The Fab Lab concept was developed in 2001 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the direction of Professor Neil Gershenfeld. The first Fab Lab was launched as part of the course “How to Make (Almost) Anything”, where students could work independently on their projects using available tools.
Today, Fab Labs have spread worldwide, forming a global network that connects thousands of people and organizations. They play a key role in advancing STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), bridging the gap between theory and hands-on skills.
Peremoha Lab plays a key role in fostering startups and innovation through its accessibility, creative support, and rapid prototyping capabilities. We provide access to high-end CNC equipment, enabling users to test, adjust, and improve their ideas early in the development process—helping reduce both risks and costs.
Peremoha Lab is also a community hub where people from different fields—designers, engineers, programmers, entrepreneurs—come together. This fosters collaboration and idea-sharing, paving the way for fresh innovations. Startups can find partners, get expert advice, or even attract investment.
Peremoha Lab empowers the university to take an active role in nurturing creativity and technological entrepreneurship across the region.
