After the war is over, experts believe the country will need builders and architects, engineers and IT specialists, transport and logistics workers, and others. The prestige of the engineering profession-the degree of respect for it in society-which has recently declined should rise again. After all, engineers are primarily the creators of new, advanced things, aimed at progress in society. And the example of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute graduates is a confirmation of this.

Deepening cooperation between the academic community and the manufacturing sector, combining education and industry to train a new generation of engineers, contributes to their future employment at modern production facilities with the possibility of further training and development, with decent salaries and broad career prospects.

On November 16, 2024, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of Ukrainian Radio. It was on this day in 1924 that its first program was broadcast. It was a radio concert by the Viem Violin Quartet. It was broadcast by the first Ukrainian broadcasting station, which was equipped in Kharkiv, the capital of Ukraine at the time, by a group of Ukrainian engineers and technicians under the leadership of Volodymyr Ohiievskyi, a lecturer at the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Later, Ogievsky led the construction and launch of similar stations in Odesa, Dnipro, Tiraspol, and other cities.

We continue this good tradition.
