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).

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.

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.

On March 27, students from Lyceums No. 1 and No. 3 of Kupiansk visited Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics. The Department of Applied Mathematics participated in the event, during which Senior Lecturer Mykyta Hvozdiev conducted a business team game called “Fun Fishing”. During the event, the students learned about game theory, practiced making decisions under resource constraints, and mastered the selection of an appropriate strategy.

By implementing the principles of Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality Education, the university is forming an open and barrier-free educational space. This practical event served as a wonderful opportunity to support the students, help them adapt to difficult learning conditions, and demonstrate that applied science can be fascinating. This is an important step in overcoming learning losses and motivating future applicants to pursue higher education.

On March 26, students of the “Obdarovanist” Lyceum visited the Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics. The Department of Applied Mathematics took part in the event, during which Senior Lecturer Mykyta Hvozdiev conducted a business team game called “Fun Fishing”. During the event, students of grades 8–11 learned about game theory, practiced making decisions under resource constraints, and mastered the selection of an appropriate strategy.

On the same day, Senior Lecturer Ravil Yanbekov and Assistant Andrii Koshkin visited the students of School No. 124, whose classes are held in a specially equipped underground school in the Saltivskyi district. They conducted a mathematical master class, “Battle of the Fishermen,” for the schoolchildren. The format of the interactive game proved to be highly successful and aroused genuine interest, with most of the children eagerly engaging in the process as both active participants and attentive listeners.

On December 14, 2025, representatives of the Department of Applied Mathematics at NURE took part in the NURE Acquaintance Day event titled “NEXT GEN DAY: Your Route to the Profession of the Future”. The event gathered students from schools in the Shevchenkivskyi district and was dedicated to introducing schoolchildren to the educational opportunities offered by the university.

During the event, our lecturers, Vladyslav Parkhomenko and Mykyta Hvozdiev, conducted mathematical quests and quizzes. They presented the educational programs of the Department of Applied Mathematics, discussed prospects for professional development, and guided prospective students in choosing their future educational path.
