In response to the current challenges and demands of Ukrainian society, as well as to ensure Ukraine's competitiveness in the world, promote the development of national research potential, and integrate into the global research space, the Ministry of Education and Science holds competitions among scientists, followed by the provision of funding for advanced fundamental research that involves setting and solving pressing scientific problems. Kyiv Polytechnic continues to acquaint readers with the projects of our university's scientists that have received state funding this year. Among them is a project developed by researchers at the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute.

Recently, information appeared on the Internet that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had created the position of advisor on gender issues and that Oksana Volodymyrivna Grygorieva had been appointed to it.

Vladyslav Boyko, owner and executive director of KyivMedService, a national leader in the maintenance and repair of medical equipment, machinery, and instruments, is a graduate of the Department of Laser Engineering and Physical and Technical Technologies at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. A successful engineer and manager, he does not break ties with his alma mater. “We know everything about medical technology, and even a little bit more,” says the entrepreneur, "and we want to share our knowledge and experience with current students. 

Over the past decades, humanity has made significant progress in the development of engineering and technology. The inquisitive minds of researchers are overcoming new challenges.

On February 20, a round table dedicated to Volodymyr Khilchevskyi, a prominent Ukrainian scientist in the field of mechanical engineering technology, professor, and World War II soldier, was held in the Rare Books Room of the Denysenko Scientific and Technical Library. The meeting was organized by the staff of the E.O. Paton Institute of Materials Science and Welding and its Department of Laser Engineering and Physical and Technical Technologies, the State Polytechnic Museum and the KPI Scientific and Technical Library. The roundtable continued the events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the scientist's birth, which our newspaper wrote about in #3-4 of January 25 this year. 

In today's environment, the production of competitive mechanical engineering products requires technologies that ensure high quality products and improve their performance. In particular, combined thermomechanical hardening using laser radiation and surface treatment is an effective technological method of increasing the wear resistance of parts. 

A solar power plant has been launched at the E.O. Paton Educational and Research Institute of Materials Science and Welding. The Institute of IMZ is the second university unit after the Scientific and Technical Library to be equipped with such an alternative source of electricity.

We sincerely congratulate Yevheniia Chvertko, Associate Professor of the Department of Welding Production of the Educational and Research Institute of Materials Science and Welding named after E.O.

January 17 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Volodymyr Hilchevsky, a prominent Ukrainian scientist in the field of mechanical engineering technology, Honored Education Worker of Ukraine, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, author of about 300 scientific papers and inventions.
