Last December, the first issue of an English-language newsletter dedicated to the life of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute was published. It was called Quarterly Newsletter. However, so many events take place at the university every week that even if only the most important ones were included in the newsletter, it would be huge.
The exhibition “Piezoelectric motors - created in KPI” was opened in the State Polytechnic Museum named after Borys Paton. The opportunity to organize it appeared last year, when the museum staff, while researching one particular exhibit of the museum collection - a piezoelectric motor - received a unique collection of samples of such motors to replenish the museum collection in addition to information material.
A seminar devoted to aspects of Polish-Ukrainian cooperation was held on May 23-25, 2025, at the LANCUT Hotel in Lancut, near Rzeszow. The seminar was organized by the Section of KPI Alumni in Poland.
Issues and prospects for the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency were discussed by participants at the 26th International Scientific and Practical Conference “Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in the 21st Century,” held at Igor Sikorsky KPI from May 21 to 23.
Despite the massive rocket attack on Ukraine on the night of April 24, 2025, the VI International Scientific and Practical Conference “Business, Innovation, Management: Problems and Prospects” was held on the same day at the Faculty of Management and Marketing. It was organized by the Department of Enterprise Management. The conference brought together over 220 participants—scientists, practitioners, and higher education students from various cities in Ukraine, Poland, and Finland.
Work continues on the personal collections of professors at Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. One of the most significant collections in terms of quantity belongs to Professor I.D. Zhukov. Most of the publications found contain dedications from the authors. Perhaps this is not a personal library in the full sense of the word, but the collection accurately illustrates the scientist's scientific and social connections.
Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute has introduced an important tool that promotes transparency at the university: a corruption risk checklist.
On May 12, Volodymyr Ugolnikov, until recently the head of the accreditation sector of the educational and methodological department of Igor Sikorsky KPI, turned 90.
The legend of Ukrainian mathematics and a woman who became one of the symbols of the indomitable Ukrainian spirit, Nina Opanasivna Virchenko, turned 95 on May 5.
It is impossible to live in Ukraine and avoid the topic of war. The graphic art exhibition “Overcoming Darkness,” which was held at the Khmelnytsky Regional Art Museum, aims to explore the paradoxes and dramatic twists and turns of human life in times of crisis. The author of the works is a young artist and lecturer at the Department of Graphic Arts of the Institute of VPI, Serhii Hulevych.
