On Sunday, May 3, 2026, the traditional event — the festival-presentation of potential educational opportunities for prospective students, "Sakura-Fest 2026" — took place along the cherry blossom alley located on the grounds of the Dnipro Institute of Transport Infrastructure of USUST.
The festival is held at the end of April or the beginning of May each year and is a vibrant career-orientation event at our university. The spring of 2026 was no exception. Each of our university's institutes did its best to present itself to future applicants and their parents.
Representing the Department of International Economics, Management, and Social-Humanitarian Disciplines of the Dnipro Metallurgical Institute, Tetiana Lysenko and Mykola Myronenko attended the event.
Interested applicants and their parents, slowly moving from one stand to another, had the opportunity to ask our department's representatives questions about possible educational offerings. They were most interested in the new specialty F4 — Systems Analysis and Data Science.
Modern information technologies are a key trend in the development of the national economy, which is why our future students are showing such interest. It is gratifying that our department is riding the crest of this rising wave.
The "Sakura-Fest 2026" festival was a success! We look forward to meeting our first-year students this September!

Excursion - quest for schoolchildren "Code of the future: man, metal, artificial intelligence"
On the initiative of the Department of International Economics, Management, and Social Sciences and Humanities, on April 28, 2026, a quest tour titled “Code of the Future: Man, Metal, Artificial Intelligence” was conducted for students of the municipal educational institution “Educational Complex No. 66”; Gymnasiums No. 73 and No. 79.
The main story of the quest was presented by Associate Professors Alisa Kramarenko and Tetiana Lysenko of the Department of International Economics, Management, and Social Sciences and Humanities: “Today you will witness two powerful forces: the unbridled energy of molten metal and the cold calculation of robots. But remember, it is humans who unite them to build civilization. Your goal is to prove that you are capable of mastering both elements using your own intellect.”
The first stop was the cybermetallurgy lab (Department of Production Process Automation). The students learned about the operation of mini-manipulators and models of modern automation equipment.
The department chair, Associate Professor Maria Rybachenko, gave a very interesting presentation about the department’s curriculum. She demonstrated mini-models of product packaging, a modern “smart home” model, and more.
The next stop is the Blast Furnace (Department of Iron and Steel Metallurgy). Maksym Boiko, an associate professor in the Department of Iron and Steel Metallurgy, spoke about the organization and technology of blast furnace production.
Maksym led an interactive activity with the students called “Temperature Control”—using cards featuring the colors of heated metal. The students arranged the colored cards along a scale ranging from cool cherry to sunny white, and tried to guess at what temperature the metal forms.
The next location is the "Uniting Worlds" meeting point at the Department of International Economics, Management, and Social Sciences & Humanities.
