Vice-rector of IFNTUOG, professor Liliana Horal congratulated the participants of the scientific Congress. She mentioned: “The University of Oil and Gas acts as one of the organizers of this extraordinary scientific event for the second time. The main scientific areas that we develop at our university, of course, relate to the energy security of our country, provision of hydrocarbons to the economy of Ukraine, while maintaining all balanced indicators of sustainable development. In addition to energy security, now we focus on hydrogen economy researches, low-carbon technology; industrial transformation within the conditions of new challenges caused by Industry 4.0, the Covid-19 pandemic, environmental crises, territorial division. I hope that all of the reports, discussions and findings of ISC-SAI 2021 will form the basis for further scientific cooperation between the universities and institutes represented today! Therefore, productive results to us!”.
