At the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”, ecological research has been carried out for almost half a century. For nearly 30 years, one of the University’s priorities has been ecological education and the training of bachelors, masters and postgraduate students. Currently, students are being prepared in the fields of Ecology (specialty E2) and Environmental Protection Technology (specialty G2), and various non-ecological specialties also include disciplines with an ecological focus.
