On December 2-3, the VI Scientific and Practical Conference of Young Scientists, “Intellectual Property and Promotion of Energy Efficiency in Ukraine: Challenges and Prospects for Development in the Information Society”, was held at the Scientific and Educational Institute of “Prydniprovska State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture” of USUST. The plenary and sectional sessions took place online via the Teams platform. Among the 70 participants, more than 30 master’s and bachelor’s students from the faculties of Architecture, Civil Engineering, Economics, Civil Engineering and Ecology, Information Technologies, and Energy Systems presented their scientific reports.
The conference began with a welcome speech by Vladyslav Danishevskyi, Director of the SEI PSACEA of USUST, who emphasized the importance of such scientific events for young students, especially during wartime. He highlighted the role of educators in fostering innovative professionals who respect intellectual property rights and will rebuild the country’s economy based on energy efficiency, creativity, and professionalism. Key topics included intellectual property in the architectural and construction industries during wartime, addressing national security, and energy-efficient technologies in construction from the perspective of intellectual property rights. These themes served as the foundation for the graduate students’ in-depth research.
Yevhen Yurchenko, Head of the Energy Innovation Hub in Dnipro, noted the relevance of combining intellectual property with energy efficiency in the construction sector, which attracted the interest of young scientists and added special significance to the conference.
