📜 Conference History: Traditions and Challenges

Our conference is a chronicle of the development of sports science within the walls of the Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute. Over the years, it has become a platform for international exchange of experience, despite all external challenges.

Chronology of Development:

  • 2014–2018: Establishing a Tradition. Three All-Ukrainian Scientific and Practical Conferences (III, IV, V) were held, bringing together leading experts from Ukraine.
  • 2019: Going International. The 1st International Conference was held in partnership with the H.S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University, Kharkiv National Medical University, and the National Forestry Academy of Ukraine.
  • 2020: The conference did not take place due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and the imposition of strict quarantine restrictions.
  • 2021: Return to work. Successful hosting of the 2nd International Conference in an online format.
  • 2022: The event was canceled due to the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The sports complex sustained significant damage, so the department focused on restoring sports facilities, supporting students, and volunteer activities.

  • 2025: The 5th International Conference, dedicated to the 140th anniversary of NTU “KhPI,” set a record for the number of international participants.
