For several years, the Department of Philosophy of NTU “KhPI” held a scientific seminar, which in 2019 became a national conference, and in 2020 acquired the status of an international conference dedicated to World Philosophy Day – “Philosophy in the Modern World”. Teachers always actively participate in both the organization and holding of the event. PhD students of the Department of Philosophy use the conference as a platform for the approbation of the results of their own research.
Since February 2021, the Department of Philosophy has been regularly holding scientific and practical seminars on philosophical issues, in which scientists from Ukraine and Poland, as well as postgraduate students of the department, including foreign ones (China), participate.
