Kyiv Politechnic

Zhanna Ostapenko is one of a cohort of engineers educated by Kyiv Polytechnic, who, according to KPI Rector Anatoliy Melnychenko, ‘should create, design, be inventors and innovators.’

A year ago, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute hosted the finalists of the Educational Ambassadors of the Kyiv Junior Academy of Sciences competition. Maria Gupalenko was among the bright, outstanding girls who presented their research achievements and demonstrated their intellectual and creative abilities.

The memorial plaque was unveiled on 28 August in the 22nd building, which houses the Educational and Research Institute of Energy Saving and Energy Management. It perpetuates the memory of Volodymyr Onufrienko, a graduate of this institute, who died in the battles against the Nazis at the end of December 2023.  

According to a long-standing tradition, on the eve of the start of the new academic year, a special event took place at the National Technical University of Ukraine ‘Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute’ - the Freshman Day.

At the invitation of the organizers, the Ukrainian-Japanese Center of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute took part in this year's festival “Kraina Mriy”.

The annual session of the university faculty took place on 29 August. This year, for security reasons, it was held in a mixed format: deans of faculties and directors of institutes, heads of departments, heads of other departments, some teachers and researchers filled the hall of the Academic Council of the University, other employees were able to watch the meeting in real time or recorded on university networks. The session was attended by the guest of honour and former KPI graduate, and now the First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleksandr Kornienko.

On July 17, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute was visited by a delegation of the Japan External Trade Organization JETRO headed by its leaders - Executive Vice President of JETRO Kazuya Nakajo and Director of JETRO Ukraine Tetsuo Shibata.

The final bootcamp within the international project RESCUU aims to unite students for the revival of Ukraine. The organizers of the event include Uppsala University, Poznan University of Technology, and the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.

Among the numerous Kyiv buildings decorated by Elio Sala (the most famous is the House with Chimeras), the literature also mentions the main building of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. However, the works made by the Italian master in the mechanical workshops of the KPI are completely forgotten today.

This year's World Blood Donor Day will be held under the slogan “Share your life, give blood”. It is especially relevant for Ukraine: after the start of the full-scale invasion of Russia, the need for donated blood has increased many times over.
