Participation of the CIRCLEMAN Project Team Members in the VII International Scientific and Practical Conference “European Dimensions of Sustainable Development” (May 5–7, 2025)
From May 5 to 7, 2025, the VII International Scientific and Practical Conference “European Dimensions of Sustainable Development” was held at the National University of Food Technologies (Kyiv, Ukraine). The event was supported by the Erasmus+ Programme and the National Erasmus+ Office in Ukraine, bringing together over 100 scholars and researchers from more than ten countries, including the USA, Australia, Germany, Austria, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Poland, and Ukraine.
Over the course of three intensive days, the conference served as a dynamic platform for in-depth discussion of the pressing challenges facing modern society in the context of sustainable development. Participants presented the results of their research across a broad range of topics—from environmental safety and sustainable agriculture to innovations in renewable energy, the green economy, and environmental education. The conference also facilitated the exchange of practical experiences in implementing sustainability innovations across different countries and regions, and enabled participants to engage in discussions with leading international scientists who shared their perspectives on global trends, interdisciplinary approaches, and the future of sustainable development in Europe and beyond.
The English-language format of the conference ensured not only the high quality of presentations and communication but also fostered effective collaboration among representatives of academic institutions from over ten countries. This created opportunities to establish new partnerships, discuss ideas for joint research, academic exchange, and projects within the framework of European educational initiatives, including Erasmus+.
Members of the international project CIRCLEMAN also took an active part in the conference. The project coordinator, Olena Kuznietsova, along with project team members Prof. Mykhailo Baranovskyy, Assoc. Prof. Iryna Korniienko, and Assoc.
