On February 22, 2021, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Argentine Republic to Ukraine Elena Leticia Teresa Mikusinski and the Embassy Secretaries Ariel Max Sanchez Romero and Yusef Saber visited Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.
Vice-Rector for International Relations, Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Serhiy Sydorenko, Head of the Organizing Office of International Activities Alla Kovtun, and others met the guests.
The guests stopped by the meeting room of the Academic Council of the University. They also exhibited the historic first building and saw the bust of prominent scientists, whose lives and achievements are connected with Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Vice-Rector Serhiy Sydorenko gave meaningful and fascinating comments during the exhibition. Then, in the meeting room, the parties discussed opportunities and forms of further cooperation between the Embassy of Argentina and Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.
Mrs. Elena Leticia Teresa Mikusinski resulted from the visit, ‘The most important is that we discussed cooperation in scientific technologies, creation of business incubators. We also discussed a possible exchange of students. During the academic year, we are also planning a wide range of joint actions in the humanitarian sphere, for instance, videoconferences about the national hero and leader of the revolutions against Spanish rule in Argentina, General Jose de San Martin.’
‘We held negotiations on establishing a Ukrainian-Argentine cooperation center at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute,’ commented Serhiy Sydorenko, ‘and agreed that it was necessary to create an interface group that would work out the center's activities.’ The most important is that we consider cooperating with the center in the format of start-up projects. We also intend to develop Internet management projects. We have agreed with the Ambassador that she would take us as partners in the Argentine Republic. We also supported her proposal to organize a training unit within the Argentine Department project. The project will implement during the academic year in the format of three joint video conferences. We are planning to organize them jointly with the Embassy of the Argentine Republic in Ukraine at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. ’
