In 2009, students and teaching staff from the private Institute of Economics and Entrepreneurship joined the University. Thus new economic specialties – accounting and auditing, and finance and credit were opened. The 2009-2010 academic year was marked by two remarkable events in the history of the University – the 165th birthday of Ivan Puluj and the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the institution. During the celebration of the anniversary of the University a presentation of a commemorative coin dedicated to Ivan Puluj was presented. The National Bank of Ukraine, continuing the series “Prominent People of Ukraine” introduced the coin on the occasion of the commemoration of the 165th anniversary of the birth of an outstanding scientist. The reverse of the coin depicts a portrait of Ivan Puluj and his statement: “… There is no greater a respect for an intelligent man than to protect his national honor and to work faithfully without a reward for the good of his people in order to give them a better life”. At the same time, Ivan Puluj museum was opened. Today many people visit it to become acquainted with the history of the university. Since 2010, the Program of cooperation between the University, the Western Scientific Center of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine and the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the Ternopil Regional State Administration and the Ternopil Regional Council is being implemented, and since 2011 the University's Cooperation Program with the Ternopil City Council has been put into action. In 2011, at the initiative of the University, the Scientific Park “Innovation and investment cluster of Ternopil region” (director – Khymych H.P.) was created as a platform for wide activization of innovation activity in the Western Ukraine in the field of ecology, energy saving and information technologies. During 2011-2015, the project proposals for the feasibility study for the City and Regional councils were developed within the framework of the City and Region Development Strategy (logistical hub based on Ternopil airport; digital Ternopil; hydropower of Ternopil region; automated energy accounting system for housing and communal services; investigation of Ternopil's transport and communications infrastructure, etc.). For the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine satellite monitoring systems were developed. A university library is important cultural and informational center of the University.
