In turbulent times, it is extremely important to unite students and teachers around socially useful and interesting initiatives. The help of foreign partners in this can hardly be overestimated. That is why it was an extremely valuable experience for Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute to participate together with Adam Mickiewicz University in the project "Solidarity with Ukraine - European Universities", funded by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange NAWA within the Epicur Alliance.
KPI students not only deepen their knowledge but also establish contacts with students of Ukrainian universities to rebuild the country together after the war.
The participants from Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute have already joined the work of several schools. In the humanities, it is the International Interdisciplinary School "Across disciplines: How to study in an interdisciplinary framework"; the professional cultural studies school "Cultural Heritage" and the philological school "Multilingualism and multilingual education". The activities were organized by the team of the Faculty of English, Pani Dziekana Wydziału Anglistyki prof. Joanna Pawelczyk together with the center Bilingualism Matters@Poznan, Prof. Magdalena Wrembel.
For future engineers, the school "Introduction to Doctoral School of Exact Sciences" became a valuable asset, where participants visited the Center for Advanced Technologies AMU, as well as the Faculty of Chemistry, Physics and Biology.
At the summer school for vice-rectors of higher education institutions "Across disciplines for Polish-Ukrainian cooperation - EPICUR Alliance experiences in interdisciplinary education and research projects", representatives of Ukrainian universities not only strengthened cooperation but also began to develop various forms of cooperation in the international dimension, project activities, and look for innovative solutions to engage young people in international initiatives to open new pages of success for our higher education on the path to European integration.
