At the end of November 2025, the International Conference Horizon4Poland'25 was held at the Museum of Polish History in Warsaw - a key event for representatives of science and business who seek to implement joint research projects within the framework of the Horizon Europe program. The honorary organizer of the event was the Representation of the European Commission in Poland, and the organizer was the National Contact Point for EU Research Programs at the National Center for Research and Development of Poland. NU "Zaporizhzhya Polytechnic" was represented by the Head of the National Contact Point Professor Dmytro Pavlenko and leading specialist Myroslava Shchetinina. Participation in the conference was an important step for the development of international scientific cooperation of the university. The main objectives of the visit were:– presentation of the areas of scientific activity of the Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University to the international community– search for partners for the implementation of joint research projects within the framework of the Horizon Europe program– presentation of the innovative project “BIO-SWITCH” — development of biodegradable magnesium implants with a controlled rate of degradation The conference brought together over 500 participants from different European countries.

Six months ago, the Faculty of Law of the Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University introduced the educational AI bot JurLab into student training. Initially, the bot functioned as a simulator of legal situations, where students played the role models of a prosecutor, lawyer, investigator, or human rights defender, analyzed ethical dilemmas, and made decisions. But in six months, JurLab evolved into a full-fledged educational tool with its own “legal core.” Thanks to the implementation of API integrations, the bot gained access to key international legal sources:– HUDOC API — a database of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights– OHCHR API — international UN recommendations in the field of human rights This means that JurLab has become not only a simulator, but also a dynamic knowledge base that allows students not only to react to simulated situations, but also to rely on real legal sources. “JurLab was created not to replace a teacher, but to strengthen a student’s thinking. Previously, students were taught norms in the abstract. Now they can immediately check their decision through the decisions of the ECHR or the UN recommendations - as it happens in real legal practice,” notes the author of the project Yuriy Gavrylov. The bot is already actively used in practical classes and contributes to the development of critical, ethical and analytical thinking of future specialists. The project continues to develop: new scenarios, group work formats are being prepared, and there is a possibility of inter-university cooperation. The author of the project is Yuriy Gavrylov, associate professor of the Department of Constitutional, Administrative and Labor Law, head of the department of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Prosecutor's Office, as well as the founder of the student legal community YGen, an expert in artificial intelligence and a certified Google AI teacher.

Within the framework of the EU Erasmus+ KA107 program, as well as within the framework of the inter-institutional agreement concluded between the Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven, Belgium) and the Zaporizhia Polytechnic University, there are opportunities for academic mobility of higher education students and teachers. From October 15 to December 13, Natalia Mironova, Associate Professor of the Department of Information Technologies of Electronic Media, participated in the academic mobility program. The academic internship was conducted under the scientific supervision of Professor Peter Arras and Professor Wouter Sas (KU Leuven). The purpose of the mobility was to work on the functionality and limitations of the Magician Go mobile platform. This educational robot is actively used in STEM projects, but its standard software has limited access to control settings. Therefore, it was necessary to develop a custom driver that provides direct control of the platform without using proprietary software. For this purpose, an analysis of available open materials was conducted and the data exchange protocol was reverse-engineered. The result was the Magician Go control software, which opens up new opportunities for educational and research projects. The experience gained is already being integrated into the educational process during the teaching of the educational components "Robot Control Systems" and "Programming of Robotic Systems", as well as the coordination of areas of joint scientific work between representatives of the Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University and KU Leuven. Working together - developing together!

NU "Zaporizhzhya Polytechnic" currently serves as a shelter for internally displaced persons who were forced to leave their homes due to Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. Dormitory No. 4 of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic is currently home to a significant number of displaced persons, including children, people with disabilities, and people with limited mobility. Most residents arrived from areas of active hostilities or from temporarily occupied territories.

NU "Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic" and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Office in Ukraine are linked by fruitful cooperation. Throughout the years of the full-scale war, IOM systematically supports the dormitories of the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic campus, which have become a shelter for internally displaced persons. Thanks to joint efforts, we have provided the internally displaced persons with multi-purpose support. The improvement of life in the dormitories of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic has become a good example of effective cooperation.

And already at the beginning of 2026 there are results. The International Organization for Migration (affiliated with the UN, Office in Ukraine) carried out free construction and repair works at the Polytechnic within the framework of the project “Responding to the urgent needs of the war-affected population and strengthening the capabilities of local actors in Ukraine” (“IOM Project”), which is implemented by IOM with funding from the Directorate-General for Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations of the European Commission.
