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.”

Alisa Kramarenko begins a discussion with the students about the main legend of the quest

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.

Maria Rybachenko shows her students models of industrial robots

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.

The faculty of the Department of International Economics, Management, and Social-Humanitarian Disciplines at the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technology (USUST) continues to strengthen its position in the global scientific community. We are pleased to announce the publication of a new scientific article in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal "Scientific Bulletin of National Mining University" (No. 2, 2026), which is indexed in the international scientometric database Scopus. 

The publication, titled "Process approach to regional labor market formation in post-war recovery" (DOI: 10.33271/nvngu/2026-2/206), was prepared by PhD, Associate Professor T. V. Miroshnichenko and PhD, Professor D. Ye. Kozenkov in collaboration with colleagues from the "Dnipropetrovsk Academy of Continuing Education". As part of the research, the scientists justified the application of a process-oriented approach to the development of the regional labor market during Ukraine's post-war recovery. 

During the testing of the results, the authors conducted a pilot assessment of the Dnipropetrovsk region's labor market as of 2025. To facilitate systemic reform of the sector, a three-stage recovery model was proposed: stabilization, reconstruction, and modernization. This work represents a significant contribution to the development of the national school of management, as its findings can be utilized by government authorities for strategic planning and labor market diagnostics during the period of post-war transformation. 

We congratulate Associate Professor T. V. Miroshnichenko, Professor D. Ye. Kozenkov, and their co-authors on achieving this high scientific result!

Easter is a celebration of life’s victory over death, light over darkness, and the profound hope that unites millions of people. This year, for every Ukrainian, this holiday carries a special, poignant significance. It is a time when we keenly feel the value of our peaceful dawn and the importance of supporting those who have become a living shield in defense of our statehood.

The faculty of the Department of International Economics, Management, and Social and Humanitarian Disciplines, with particular trepidation and a sense of responsibility, supported the initiative of the rector of the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technology (UDST), to collect “Easter baskets of sweets” for severely wounded soldiers undergoing treatment at the I.I. Mechnikov Regional Clinical Hospital.

The Mechnikov Hospital has long been a symbol of resilience and professional excellence for Dnipro and all of Ukraine. Here, within these walls, where a daily battle is fought for every life, our defenders are on the hardest journey of all—the journey of recovery. That is why our desire to send them holiday treats is not just charity, but a profound expression of respect, love, and boundless gratitude.

Every package assembled by our department is filled not only with sweets but also with a piece of the warmth from our hearts. We understand that amid prolonged rehabilitation and the daily routine of the hospital, a festive atmosphere has healing power. Traditional Easter bread, fragrant sweets, and symbolic Easter gifts can momentarily restore a sense of home, reminding the soldiers that they are remembered and admired, and that the entire university family is waiting for their recovery.

Participation in such initiatives is an important part of our corporate and civic culture. At UDUNT, the education of students and academic activities always go hand in hand with patriotic service. The example set by our rector, Kostyantyn Sukhyi, has inspired us to act in a coordinated and prompt manner, because kindness knows no days off, and supporting the army is our shared duty.

We are convinced that these sweet gifts will help bring a festive mood to our heroes, strengthen their spirit, and give them faith that victory—both personal and national—will surely be ours. May the aroma of Easter baked goods and the heartfelt wishes accompanying this basket serve as a symbol to our defenders that all of Ukraine bows before their heroic deeds.

Today, more than ever, we feel the power of unity. Together, we are not just collecting aid—we are building a b ...
