Researchers, educators, and practitioners working on Industry 5.0 issues are invited to join the session and contribute to the development of innovative education!

Iryna Zharikova, the University’s Scientific Secretary, Technical Secretary of the Scientific and Technical Council, Associate Professor at the Department of Computer-Integrated Technologies, Automation, Robotics, and Safety Engineering (CITARSE), and Candidate of Technical Sciences, has made a significant contribution to the library collection by donating valuable publications from her personal collection.

These donated books will serve as an accessible intellectual resource for NURE students, PhD candidates, faculty members, and researchers. They will help broaden professional horizons, deepen knowledge, and enhance the research potential of the university community.

The “BookLove” initiative exemplifies academic solidarity, a responsible commitment to preserving and disseminating knowledge, and support for the educational and scientific environment.

This initiative aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goal 4, “Quality Education”, specifically the objective of ensuring equal access to quality education and lifelong learning opportunities. Expanding the library collection improves access to educational and scientific resources, cultivates a culture of reading, and creates conditions for continuous professional development.

NURE expresses its sincere gratitude to Iryna Zharikova for her generous gift, her personal contribution to the development of the university library, and her support for shared educational and scientific values.

“BookLove” is more than just donating books. This is an investment in knowledge, education, and the future!

We congratulate Yurii Mykolaiovych on this honorary title and join the Rector and members of the Academic Council in expressing gratitude for his many years of dedicated work for the benefit of our University, as well as for his significant contribution to the training of highly qualified specialists in the fields of electrical engineering, instrumentation, automation, and robotics!

Interactive workshops and hands-on masterclasses focused on modern science and technology were held for the students. Participants explored the field of robotic computer vision!

Special attention was given to artificial intelligence: the students not only observed how it works but also tested AI tools for computer vision firsthand, completing tasks and experimenting within a digital environment!

Initiatives like this are designed to broaden students’ horizons, promote science, and help them choose promising future careers!

What was discussed during the meetings?

• The G7 specialization, “Automation, Computer-Integrated Technologies, and Robotics,” and the opportunities it unlocks.
• CNC equipment and the secrets of 3D printing: from a digital model to a finished product.
• How 3D printers work, their fascinating technological capabilities, and the practical applications of additive manufacturing.
• The impact of automation on people’s lives, modern professions, and the future of manufacturing.

Engineering offers the chance not only to study technologies but also to create new things with your own hands, bring ideas to life, and discover unconventional solutions!

And that’s not all! The students were invited to:

• join mini-courses hosted by the CITARSE Department;
• participate in a robotics conference for school students;
• explore the world of modern engineering developments.

Thank you to the students and teachers for their interest and the engaging conversation! We look forward to welcoming future inventors, roboticists, and engineers to our upcoming events!

The primary goal of this initiative is to give a “second life” to used plastic and to promote the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) among the student community. The project demonstrates the practical application of a circular economy, where waste is transformed into a valuable resource for 3D printing.

The creation of a new product follows a closed-loop cycle:

• sorting and cleaning used PET bottles;
• producing custom rPET filament using a specialized device (a Plastic Bottle Recycling Machine);
• designing and manufacturing functional household items and decorative objects.

Plastic pollution is one of the world’s most pressing issues: over 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans annually, and PET bottles can take anywhere from 150 to 450 years to decompose.

Implementing plastic recycling at the university level yields a significant environmental impact:

• recycling 1 ton of PET plastic saves approximately 1.5 tons of oil and reduces emissions by 70% compared to the production of virgin (new) plastic.
• recycling just one bottle saves enough energy to power a light bulb for 6 hours.

The project directly contributes to achieving SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).

The project team has set clear practical and educational goals:

• developing a custom-built system to extract filament from cut-up PET bottles;
• manufacturing useful components and interior decor items (such as organizers, planters, stands, and toolboxes);
• organizing a themed exhibition titled “2nd Life,” featuring 3D-printed exhibits and a charity auction to support the club’s activities and those of partner organizations;
• establishing partnerships with companies in the 3D technology sector, hosting workshops, and facilitating future employment opportunities for students.

We invite all interested students to join the 3D Club at the CITARSE Department and work together to create a sustainable technological future!

The lecture “From Engineering Idea to a Sustainable Future” was delivered by Associate Professor of the CITARSE Department, Inna KHONDAK.

The main idea of the meeting was to demonstrate that sustainable development is not an abstract global concept, but a practical guideline for the modern engineer. Today, engineering solutions determine not only the technical characteristics of the developed systems, but also how efficiently energy and material resources are utilized, the environmental impact of technology, how safe and human-centric production is, and what its long-term economic efficiency will be. That is precisely why a modern engineer must think beyond the paradigm of “design – manufacture – launch.”

Their task is to create a solution that will be:

• technologically effective;
• resource-saving;
• energy-efficient;
• safe for humans;
• environmentally responsible;
• economically viable;
• adaptive and viable in the long term.

Special attention during the meeting was paid to how automation, robotics, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, digital twins, and smart manufacturing systems can contribute to achieving the SDGs.

The SDGs form a new coordinate system for engineering activities: from a local technical solution to its impact on society, the economy, and the environment. It is essential for an understanding of these principles to be developed at the very beginning of studies. After all, today’s students are the ones who will tomorrow design the manufacturing facilities, automated complexes, robotic systems, and digital infrastructure that will shape the technological future.

An engineering idea gains true value when it not only solves a technical problem, but also creates long-term value for human beings, society, and the environment. We thank the students for their activity, interest, and readiness to think not only as future engineers, but as creators of a sustainable technological future!
