On October 17, 2026, the educational career guidance project “Q-Bit Programming” was launched. The project aims to prepare school students for computer science Olympiads, deepen their knowledge in computer science and information technology, and help them determine their future career paths. The project will run for two months.

The opening of the project was attended by O.A. Kobylin, Head of the Department of Informatics at Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics; I.M. Zhovtonizhko, Associate Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics; O.Ie. Putiatina, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Informatics; as well as representatives of the Novobavarskyi District Education Department.

On September 24, 2026, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics hosted a round table discussion titled “School of the Future: Vector of Profile Education.” The event brought together university faculty and computer science teachers from the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kharkiv to discuss the transformation of the educational environment, the implementation of specialized profile education, and the enhancement of career guidance efforts.

Senior Lecturer Mykyta Hvozdev represented the Department of Applied Mathematics at NURE. During the discussion, he proposed several collaborative educational initiatives to the educators of the Shevchenkivskyi district, including offline and online NMT preparation courses in mathematics, as well as systematic coaching for school math Olympiads.

On September 19, with the support of the Education Department of the Novobavarskyi District, our inspiring educational project “NMT to 200 with NURE” was launched. Designed as an 8-month intensive course, it covers all topics of elementary mathematics to prepare students for the National Multi-subject Test (NMT).

The opening ceremony was attended by Professor Maksym Sidorov, Head of the Department of Applied Mathematics at Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics; Associate Professor Iryna Zhovtonizhko; Senior Lecturers Ravil Yanbekov and Mykyta Hvozdev; as well as representatives of the Novobavarskyi District Education Department.

On September 11, 2026, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics successfully hosted the PhD thesis defense of Artem Dmytrovych Kovtun, postgraduate student at the Department of Applied Mathematics. The dissertation, titled “Mathematical Modeling of Environmental Pollution Using Function Interlineation,” was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in specialty 113 Applied Mathematics.

Research Supervisor: Yuliia Ihorivna Pershina, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics, NURE (part-time).

OpenAI reported in its official report On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem that a system of approximately 10,000 autonomous AI agents found a mathematical solution to the Navier–Stokes equations — one of the seven famous Millennium Prize Problems — in 88 hours. The formal verification of the mathematical proof in the Lean language was completed in just 17 hours by the GPT-6 Astra tool.

The Navier–Stokes equations form the foundation of fluid dynamics, describing the motion of viscous fluids and gases. The core of the problem lies in determining whether these equations always have smooth (continuous) solutions. As highlighted by media outlets, including Hromadske’s coverage of OpenAI’s achievement, the company’s algorithms constructed an example of a finite-time blowup, thereby confirming the scenario of breakdown in smoothness.

September 1st is a special day symbolizing the beginning of a new academic year. For the community of the Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, this holiday serves as a reminder of the vital importance of knowledge, science, and the intellectual development of Ukraine.

On the eve of Knowledge Day, on August 31, 2026, NURE hosted traditional ceremonial events dedicated to First-Year Student Day. The celebration took place in a warm atmosphere at the Regional Organizational and Methodological Theatrical and Concert Center.

On August 18, 2026, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics hosted a solemn graduation ceremony for the Bachelor’s Class of 2026. During the festive event, held in the Loft Zone of the Kharkiv National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, diplomas were personally presented by the Rector of the University, Ihor Ruban.

The students of this graduating class faced an extraordinary journey, as their entire studies since September 2022 took place under martial law. Despite all the challenges, they received a high-quality education and successfully defended their bachelor’s theses.

The dual form of education serves as an excellent bridge between theoretical university training and the real challenges of the IT and engineering industries. Anastasiia Tryzna, a student at the Department of Applied Mathematics at NURE, is a prime example of successfully balancing studies with a career.

Anastasiia is already building her professional career path while working at the “Gas Transit Research Institute” branch of JSC Ukrtransgaz.

Over the course of two days, on July 15 and 16, 2026, the Department of Applied Mathematics at NURE held the defenses of bachelor’s qualification works. This event marked the culmination of four years of diligent study, scientific research, and practical training for the students.

The defenses were held for two of the department’s specialties:

On June 18, 2026, a seminar organized by the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance (NAQA) titled “Higher Education Quality: Challenges, Solutions, Future” was held at the Dnipro Polytechnic National Technical University.

The event brought together educators to discuss the transformation of the educational environment, the upcoming ESG 2027 European standards, the culture of academic integrity, and the practical application of updated criteria for evaluating educational programs. The seminar also featured a meeting with the “Information Technologies” sectoral expert council.

On June 22, 23, and 24, the Department of Applied Mathematics joined the organization of summer practice for 5th–8th-grade students of Lyceum No. 169 in the metro school. Mykyta Hvozdiev, Senior Lecturer of the department, conducted masterclasses on pixel graphics, cryptography, and a mathematical quest. The students learned how a computer perceives images, discovered how to code graphics, mastered several encryption algorithms, and got acquainted with methods for quickly and efficiently finding optimal solutions.

The activities implemented Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality Education, by providing free access to high-quality mathematical training, particularly for school students from diverse social and educational backgrounds, creating an inclusive space for learning, self-realization, and development. This not only contributed to improving the participants’ academic results and mitigating learning losses but also gave them additional motivation to pursue higher education in the future.
