Implementation of the concept of a “green” university is one of the current trends in the development of the world’s leading higher education institutions. It involves the integration of the principles of environmentally sustainable development into all aspects of higher education. The use of green technologies is in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy – to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

The Department of BMI of NURE has begun the stage of introducing “green” technologies into the educational process. Professors of the department Yuriy Zholudov, Dmytro Snizhko and the head of the department, Professor Oleg Avrunin, conducted the first tests of energy-saving power sources – solar panels and wind power plants.

“Inventors and Researchers – Together To Victory”

22.09.2023

The online conference “Inventors and Researchers – Together to Victory” was held on the occasion for the Day of Inventor and Innovator of Ukraine. The organizer was the Department of Scientific and Information Support of Innovative Processes of the V.G. Korolenko Kharkiv State Scientific Library. The event was attended by 69 participants – representatives of academic and innovation communities from different cities of Ukraine. About 30 reports were presented, aimed at developing research and invention activities in Ukraine.

Professor Oleg Avrunin presented a report on inventive activity in biomedical engineering, in particular, the experience of his own developments in the field of testing human nasal breathing in extreme conditions.
