Grosse offered also a first training session for students of the National University in Ivano-Frankivsk and material testing experts from the region of Zhytomyr. The intensive seminar took place in two stages: a theoretical part, which included a presentation on the basic principles and methods used in construction and mechanical engineering, and a practical part, which featured a demonstration of modern technologies and methods. The workshop participants had the opportunity to practice using a multi-channel ultrasonic device and a radar antenna aimed at an intensive study of structures, simulating the actions of specialists performing measurements.
Since a rocket attack in June 2024 damaged the university building, measurements have been conducted directly on structures that were in the path of the shock wave. Grosse demonstrated how to efficiently handle modern Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) equipment. During the visit, the researchers discussed numerous potential directions for cooperation based on formal collaboration between IFNTUOG and TUM in teaching. Through cooperation between IFNTUOG and TUM, experts throughout Ukraine can be trained, empowering them to use the equipment and to conduct ground-based examinations of infrastructural components due to TUM´s extensive experience and international reputation.
