Tourist club “Globus” was founded in 1952. Since then thousands of people have had the opportunities to visit Caucasus, Pamir, Carpathians and Crimea, get unforgettable impressions and relax.

Achievements of the club members include: pioneering exploration, expeditions to the hard-to-reach areas, first places at the competitions. In 2000 the club resumed its work under the auspices of trade union committee of NTUU “KPI” students.
