Special thanks go to Kherson State University and Rector Oleksandr Spivakovskyi, Vadym Yermolaiev of the Ukrainian Catholic University, and Prof. Philippe Lair of Université Côte d’Azur.

Participation in ICTERI 2025 became an important step in expanding TNTU’s international partnerships and further integrating the university into the global academic and research community.
