A delegation of the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan headed by the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Azerbaijan to Ukraine Seymur Gurban oglu Mardaliyev visited Kyiv Polytechnic to deepen existing and establish new areas of cooperation with our university. The following issues were discussed:

Every year, school graduates - participants and winners of national and international competitions and Olympiads - join the student community of Kyiv Polytechnic. Among the most active are students of the Polytechnic Lyceum of NTUU “KPI”. The newspaper “Kyiv Polytechnic” has repeatedly told about lyceum students-inventors - pupils of the Kyiv Junior Academy of Sciences, who later became students of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, and their mentors. We continue this good tradition.

The issues raised at the forum and in its Declaration were also discussed at the seminar “Environmental Security during War and Armed Conflict” held on November 6, 2024, at the UN Headquarters and dedicated to the International Day for the Prevention of Environmental Exploitation during War and Armed Conflict. It focused on the environmental consequences of the war in Ukraine.
