🎥 Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and WINS: a new meeting, new horizons for cooperation
University media have already reported that last September, on the sidelines of the 69th session of the IAEA General Conference in Vienna, KPI Rector Anatoliy Melnychenko signed a joint document with Rafael Grossi, Director General of this leading international organization on atomic energy, outlining practical agreements between the organization and the university regarding cooperation in the field of nuclear and physical safety and technologies, as well as the development of educational programs in these areas, etc. It should be added that during the conference, the rector also met with the heads of a number of international organizations in the field of nuclear energy, in particular the World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS). And on February 16, a new meeting took place with one of WINS’ leaders—its Executive Director Lars van Dassen, who headed the World Institute’s delegation that visited Igor Sikorsky KPI that day.

Fedir Tetianych. At the intersection of the present and the future
Our newspaper (see “Kyiv Polytechnic” No. 1-2, 2024) has already reported on the mosaic panel “Science,” which adorns the facade of Building 18 and is included in the List of Identified Cultural Heritage Objects of Kyiv. However, its creator, monumentalist artist Fedir Tetyanych (1942–2007), is known mainly to specialists. But the first performer of independent Ukraine, whose ideas were ahead of their time and remain relevant to this day, does not deserve to be forgotten.
