The Department of AM Participated in the All-Ukrainian Forum of the AFCC
On June 5, 2026, the All-Ukrainian Forum of the Association of Frontline Cities and Communities (AFCC) titled “Science and Scientists of the Ukrainian Frontline: Present and Future” was held at the KhNATOB venue. The participants focused on the most acute challenges facing higher education in wartime conditions: organizing a stable educational process and ensuring first-year student recruitment in frontline regions, particularly in Kharkiv.
Vladyslav Gennadiiovych Parkhomenko, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Applied Mathematics at NURE, took part in the forum as a member of the Council of Young Scientists.
During the event, Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov emphasized that preserving universities and youth is a strategic issue for the city’s future and proposed three concrete steps:
- prioritizing companies that invest in local science and university developments within municipal procurement;
- establishing innovative spaces based within universities;
- creating a Municipal Fund for the Support of Youth Science to provide grants for students and postgraduate researchers.
Special attention was paid to applicants from frontline territories. Taking exams under constant shelling is an incredibly difficult reality, which is why the state and communities must fight for every future student.
“If we lose our youth, universities, and scientific schools, there will be no one left to build the future,” emphasized Ihor Terekhov.
The participation of representatives from the Department of AM in the forum confirms that NURE is actively involved in shaping the development strategy for frontline education. Despite all the challenges, the university’s young scientists continue to hold the scientific front for the future of Ukraine.
