[14-17.09.2020] The Joint Ukrainian-Norwegian Summer School “Sustainable Manufacturing In Industry 4.0: Technologies And Solutions”

For the third year, our University participates in the bilateral Ukrainian-Norwegian project “NTNU-KPI Collaboration within Industry 4.0 Education” (Educational cooperation of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute in Industry 4.0).  This project is implemented within the Eurasia Program with the support of the Norwegian Agency for International Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education (Diku).

The Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute academic staff have already developed a number of disciplines for graduate students of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Management and Marketing concerning additive manufacturing technologies, international project management in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and other relevant topics related to Industry 4.0.  In 2019, four master students of the IME and the FMM studied at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) the entire semester in Jovik.  Last September, a group of students, graduate students and teachers from our University spent a week at NTNU, where they participated in a local summer school and got acquainted with the leading industrial enterprises in Norway.

According to preliminary plans, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute was expecting for a reciprocal visit in September.  A Norwegian delegation of five students and several teachers, who would get acquainted with the university campus, listen to lectures from last year's summer school and tour the most interesting in the context of Industry 4.0 Kyiv enterprises, was supposed to visit our University.  However, the global coronavirus pandemic has made changes to most educational projects. The Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute summer school was no exception.  As soon as it became clear that a radical change of plans would still occur, the Ukrainian-Norwegian Project Committee began reorganization work.  The solution seemed obvious: to organize  a virtual summer school, but the effectiveness of this approach left room for doubt.

Nevertheless, as it turned out, the organizers worried in vain.  In just three weeks, as many as 234 people decided to join the summer school “Sustainable manufacturing in industry 4.0: technologies and solutions”, including not only Ukrainian and Norwegian students (the Project Committee was counting on such participants), but also the Poles, Lithuanians, Germans, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis and representatives of other European and Asian countries.  Obviously, a really meaningful and diverse summer school program attracted the participants.
