Slavutych Branch of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute: History and Present Day

An exhibition by renowned Ukrainian artist Vasyl Klymyk was held in April at the Hryhorii Synytsia Art Gallery of the Center for Culture and Arts of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

At the beginning of the year, the Scientific Council of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine (NRFU) announced the ranked lists of the winning research projects selected for grant funding. Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute ranked first among Ukrainian higher education institutions in the number of projects that will receive state funding.

Kyiv Polytechnic has previously published articles about the technology for treating water contaminated with radionuclides that was developed by a team of researchers from Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute during the first weeks following the Chornobyl disaster.

Chornobyl: Never Again

The State Polytechnic Museum named after Borys Paton at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute recently opened the photo exhibition Rights in Our Hands. The exhibition was inaugurated to mark Ukrainian Volunteer Day on March 14. The exhibition was organized by Amnesty International Ukraine in partnership with the State Polytechnic Museum named after Borys Paton at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and the University's Veteran Development Center. Notably, the Museum is the exhibition's second venue. It was first presented in Washington, D.C., in February this year.

The Borys Paton State Polytechnic Museum at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute organized the "Celebrating Pi Day" quest as part of its Family Saturday program to mark nternational Pi Day, celebrated annually on March 14. The quest program was jointly developed by the museum's Scientific and Educational Activities Department and the Exhibitions Department.

More than 30 years ago, the Hryhorii Synytsia Art Gallery was opened at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Today, his paintings adorn the foyer of the university’s Centre for Culture and Arts. In reality, however, they do far more than decorate the space. They speak, ask questions, and address us with the voices of our ancestors as we hurry past in the bustle of everyday life. Their creator—monumental artist, Boychukist, member of the Sixtiers generation, mentor, and teacher of a distinguished cohort of Ukrainian artists, Hryhorii Ivanovych Synytsia—through his talent and his entire life, embodied a profound love for and devotion to Ukraine’s national identity, its people, and its cultural heritage.

Mathematics has long been regarded as the queen of the sciences—a universal language understood by researchers across the world and the foundation of the exact sciences. There is little need today to explain the importance of mastering at least its fundamentals, especially in a world increasingly shaped by advanced technologies.

For more than 30 years, the Research and Testing Center "Reliability" has been making a significant contribution to Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute as an important part of the university's research infrastructure. The Center serves as the university's testing and research unit, specializing in the evaluation of the physical and mechanical properties of materials and products, with particular emphasis on their strength and reliability under load.
