On April 24, as part of the International Youth Symposium on the History of Science and Technology "Priorities of Ukrainian Science" on the basis of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, the annual XXIII International Scientific and Practical Conference "History of the Development of Science, Technology and Education" on the topic "Fundamental Sciences as a Driver of Technological Transformations" was held online.

The X International Scientific and Practical Conference “Mathematics in a Modern Technical University” was held at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute for two days on February 20-21, 2025.  Since 2013, it has been regularly organized by the Department of Mathematical Analysis and Probability Theory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Philosophy of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Each of the previous conferences was attended by more than 100 participants, who made more than 900 reports in total.

In March, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute hosted the traditional Mathematics Week, a series of events that demonstrated how interesting, interactive and modern this science can be. The significance of the event was supported by the rector of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute Anatoliy Melnychenko: he recorded a video message to the participants, in which he emphasized the importance of developing mathematical culture among young people and its role in scientific and technological progress. 

Mathematics Week 2025 at our university started with the traditional Mathematical Battle - a competition that brings together teams of 1-2 year students to solve mathematical problems. The organizer is the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics (FMF).

Department of Mathematical Analysis and Probability Theory, FMF will resume work a club "Custom and Olympiad tasks of algebra and analysis." Classes will be held remotely, using Zoom.

In early December last year, the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava hosted an international workshop AdaMass Partnership Meeting. The event brought together teachers and researchers from different countries, including Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Norway, to discuss pressing issues in mathematics education and find innovative solutions. Representatives of the Department of Mathematical Analysis and Probability Theory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute Olena Tymoshenko, Kateryna Moskvychova, and Olga Pelekhata also took part in the event (see photo). 

Recently, a memorial plaque in honor of its famous resident, the outstanding Ukrainian scientist and engineer Yevhen Oskarovych Paton, was unveiled on the historic residential building #5, which is an integral part of the KPI campus.
