The project leader, Sanan Mirzayev, a student from group 8123ad of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Metallurgy, presented the mobile application and website created within the framework of the "SupAutism" project, stating that it aims to provide psychological, pedagogical, and social support to parents of children with autism. The services offered within the project are based on the principles of rehabilitation and therapy support, a multidisciplinary approach, and academic-healthcare cooperation. The sections available on the platforms, such as "Initial Information Section on Autism," "Child Behavior Tests," "Step-by-Step Instructions and Recommendations for Parents," and "Practical Materials Facilitating the Daily Life of Children with Autism," are designed to provide initial education for parents who observe signs of autism in their children, as well as to assist in the early detection of developmental disorders and in structuring the daily activities of children with autism. The platform makes accessible to parents a set of 76 questions consisting of 4 blocks, prepared by the Autism Research Institute and accepted as an international standard, used to determine the likelihood of autism in children. Speaking after the project presentation, Isa Khalilov, Head of the Department of Machine Design, Mechatronics, and Industrial Technologies, emphasized that the students had done a considerable amount of work on the project and gave his recommendations regarding its further development. He noted that the project would contribute in the future to inclusive higher education, equal educational opportunities, and the principles of equality in the academic environment. Within the framework of the seminar, psychologists Shahla Amanova and Nargiz Ismayilova, who participated in the creation of the project and specialize in working with individuals with autism, spoke and first and foremost brought to the participants' attention that autism is not an illness, but a difference. They stated that during the project's development, they shared their knowledge and experience with the platform creators regarding the most frequently asked questions by parents of children with autism, the problems they encounter, ways to overcome them, and so on. This approach is based on the principles of social inclusion and diversity, prevention of discrimination, a rights-based approach, and social justice initiatives. During the interactive part of the program, the psychologists conducted a training session with the seminar participants titled "Reaction of Individuals with Autism to Events." This helped participants better understand individuals with autism and was significant in terms of academic integration of persons with disabilities and community-based health initiatives. At the end of the event, it was emphasized that such initiatives play an important role in promoting healthy lives and social well-being, social inclusion and diversity, as well as creating equal opportunities for all members of society, thereby contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Azerbaijan Technical University is expanding the application of SDG 15 - Life on Earth principles on campus in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. The goal is to protect terrestrial ecosystems, support biodiversity and strengthen green infrastructure. In recent years, the work carried out at the university towards traffic management and promotion of micromobility has created a real opportunity to increase green zones. As a result of reducing parking areas from 2000 m² to 1800 m², the areas freed up have been transformed into green belts. This step contributes to preventing land degradation, reducing carbon emissions and creating a healthier ecological environment on campus. The 1,700-meter bicycle path created between the university and the dormitory, the increased scooter infrastructure and the expanded pedestrian zones serve to reduce car use and maintain the ecological balance. The use of alternative means of transportation by hundreds of students and employees throughout the day strengthens the sustainability indicators of the campus. In the future, it is planned to expand the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, further optimize parking and create additional green areas. With these initiatives, Azerbaijan Technical University is not only an educational space, but also shaping a sustainable campus model where biodiversity is protected and ecosystems are supported.
