Participation of USUST Researchers in the European ETUT Project

The ETUT (Electrification Technology for Urban Transport) project has received funding from the European Union under the Horizon 2020 program (Grant Agreement №955646) and combines the efforts of three universities: University of Twente (Netherlands), University of Nottingham (UK), and Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies (Dnipro, Ukraine).

The ETUT project aims to research power electronics and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), which is key to developing more efficient and sustainable electric transport systems. The project involves 12 PhD students conducting research on various aspects, including electric vehicle charging devices, power systems for electric trains, wireless energy transfer, and improvement of electromagnetic compatibility systems.

The project coordinator from USUST, Tetiana Serdiuk, Head of the Department of Automation and Telecommunications at the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, noted the importance of Ukrainian researchers’ participation in this international project. Thanks to ETUT, Ukrainian students and scientists have gained access to modern laboratories and equipment, the opportunity to participate in international conferences, and conduct research at the highest level. Moreover, project participants have the chance to work with leading specialists from different countries and gain valuable experience in an international environment.

The main partners of the project are Ukrainian Railways and other international companies. Participants also have the opportunity to present their research at international forums such as the IEEE International Symposium.

The ETUT project is an important step towards creating more environmentally friendly transport solutions and developing scientific knowledge in this field. The project promotes active academic mobility, allowing Ukrainian researchers to exchange experiences and gain new knowledge.
