Igor Ruban, Rector of Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, took part in the Student Forum “State-Building Under Martial Law and City Recovery Through the Eyes of Students”.
The event served as a platform for dialogue between Kharkiv students and representatives of various levels of government, business, university leadership, and the civic sector.
The key topic of the meeting was active youth, as students today are not merely observers, but active participants in social change, volunteering, science, innovation, and the recovery of Ukraine. Therefore, the forum participants sought to hear the students’ views and their vision of what the state should look like after the war, what Kharkiv should become, and what role the young generation will play in its recovery and development.
Igor Ruban, Rector of NURE, addressed the participants with welcoming remarks, emphasizing the importance of student initiatives in building civil society.
During the working sessions, students asked questions to the speakers and guests and actively participated in discussions on the interaction between youth, government, and the community.
A special part of the forum was dedicated to presentations by student leaders. Kira Shuban, Head of the NURE Student Senate, presented the student life experience at NURE and demonstrated the role students play in state-building under martial law and city recovery through examples of volunteer work, student self-government, scientific research, youth projects, community support, digital and innovative initiatives, and cultural events.
The forum became an important platform for professional dialogue, exchange of experience, discussion of pressing issues, and the development of new ideas.
