Artificial intelligence, programming, and real-world engineering challenges defined the two-day AI SkyRun Hackathon held at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

Graduates of Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute can be found on every continent and at many of the world's leading research institutions. It is especially rewarding to see that many of them maintain close ties with their alma mater, follow the university's achievements, share their own professional successes, and serve as ambassadors for both Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute and Ukraine.

On May 14, 2026, the 15th International Scientific and Practical Conference "Applied Geometry, Engineering Graphics, and Intellectual Property Objects" was held online. The conference is a specialized academic event for the Department of Descriptive Geometry, Engineering and Computer Graphics of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. Therefore, the foundation of this scientific forum was the Kyiv Polytechnic School of Applied Geometry.

To the winners of the first stage of the All-Ukrainian Mathematics Olympiad: Petro Trotsenko (Faculty of Mathematics and Physics) and Yevhen Shiff (Faculty of Theoretical Physics and Informatics) were awarded the Professor Buldigin Prize.

By decision of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Denis Oleksandrovych Logvinov, a second-year master’s student in the “Insurance and Financial Mathematics” program, was awarded the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Prize for the best student research paper for his work “Some Properties in a Stochastic Model with an Alpha-Scheme and Trend.”

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.

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.

Intellectual games are becoming increasingly popular at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. University-wide and city chess tournaments hosted on campus have attracted growing participation, with Polytechnic students consistently achieving outstanding results. More recently, tournaments in Go and Shogi have also been added, promoted by the Ukrainian-Japanese Center. These Japanese strategy games can be considered close relatives of chess, offering even broader strategic possibilities. 

In late fall, the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute hosted the First Scientific and Practical Conference of FMF Master’s Students, dedicated to the results of thesis research conducted by master’s degree candidates.
