In April 2026, Pavlo Brin and Olena Prokhorenko, professors of the Department of Management at the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”, conducted a week-long series of lectures and practical sessions for students at Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, Poland. The visit to the university took place as part of the Erasmus+ academic mobility program.
Throughout the week, the lecturers gave classes and held practical sessions for students of the Institute of Management at the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences. Each lecturer presented their own original program focused on modern approaches to management. Professor Pavlo Brin focused on the role of corporate social responsibility in shaping business competitive advantages: participants examined how strategic communications and a clearly defined mission influence the effectiveness and sustainability of organizations. Professor Olena Prokhorenko focused on practical management tools—methods of delegating authority and approaches to resolving complex management situations. The “conflict cloud” was examined in detail as a tool of the theory of constraints for finding balanced solutions.
The visit marked an important step in developing cooperation between the universities and expanding academic partnerships. NTU “KhPI” expresses its gratitude to the administration of Jan Kochanowski University for the organization and warm welcome, and in particular to Professor Marta Brzozowska for accompanying and supporting the delegation.
