The conference has become an extraordinary event in the life of the scientific community and has caused great excitement.

The event was a logical continuation of university partnership, which began due to the active position of the department of the Machinery design fundamentals, Automobiles and automobile economy and Machinery technology of National Mining University in cooperation with Vellore Institute of Technology and Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha.

To date, the scientific cooperation of the universities has been formalized by MoU on international cooperation and since then has been actively developed, in particular, in the form of a joint virtual conference "Informational Technologies in Science & Education", conducted exclusively in English on the basis of Machinery Design Fundamental Department.

The conference "Informational Technologies in Science & Education" was a significant event in the life of all its participants, and the excitement around this scientific event among the scientists of the NMU and other scientific institutions of Ukraine is explained by the possibility to gain new skills and earn necessary certificates confirming their academic mobility (the decision on validity of the certificate was made by the Rectorate and the Academic Council of the NMU).

Colleagues from the Vellore Institute of Technology (India) and the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) were impressed by the high level of experience the Ukrainian speakers showed. Considerable interest in further development of scientific relations with the specialists from NMU has been formalized in supplementary documents after event.

On behalf of National Mining University we would like to thank Prof. Girish M. Joshi, Dr. Jayaprakash Jala (VIT university, India), Prof.Teresa Cuberes (UCLM, Spain) and Prof. Hamada, (Akita University, Japan) for the effort they have applied to make this event live and their readiness to face new challenges in international scientific cooperation!
