Donation campaign for the reconstruction of the National University "Zaporizhzhya Polytechnic"
The National University “Zaporizhzhya Polytechnic” was repeatedly bombed on 7 July 2025. The drone attack destroyed a main building and severely damaged student residences, laboratories and lecture halls. Numerous technical devices and equipment used for research and teaching purposes were rendered unusable.
OTH Amberg-Weiden has initiated a donation campaign to support the reconstruction of its partner university. To this end, it is working with the aid organisation Space-Eye e.V., which has extensive experience with humanitarian aid projects. The non-profit association stores the donations in kind and will transport the collected materials to the conflict zone.
OTH Amberg-Weiden and Space-Eye e.V. are asking for help with the reconstruction of the National University “Zaporizhzhya Polytechnic”:
- Donations in kind – see list of urgently needed technical equipment
- Donations in cash – via online form or QR code (donation receipt will be issued)
The National University “Zaporizhzhya Polytechnic” (NU ZP) is an important partner of OTH Amberg-Weiden in the DAAD-funded projects Dillugis (2022-2025) and, recently, TANDEM-UA-DE (2025-2029). As part of these projects, two Ukrainian scientists from Zaporizhzhia are working at the university. With this donation campaign, OTH Amberg-Weiden wants to help ensure that academic exchange, research activities and the education of Ukrainian students can continue even under the most difficult conditions.
