It has long been known that any crisis means not only difficulties but also new opportunities. Ukraine is going through not just a crisis, but a war. But despite its terrible realities, it has outlined new development horizons for our country. In particular, for the higher education system.
Adapt the best practices of the world's universities and take leadership positions. From the report of the Vice-Rector for International Relations S.I. Sydorenko at the Academic Council of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute on January 29, 2021.
In 2017, the international activity of our university was carried out according to the Igor Sikorsky KPI Strategy of Development for the period of 2012-2020 and the Action Plan for its implementation, and in general, provided some positive results.
Strengthening of the international components in National Technical University of Ukraine "Kyiv Polytechnic Institute after Igor Sikorsky" remains a priority in the Department of International Cooperation (DIC).
International activity of the University in 2015 was carried against the backdrop of events in Ukraine, which negatively affected the number of our international contacts, and to admit students of foreign nationals, and a number of other components of international activities.
The development of international activities in 2014 took place against the backdrop of stormy - both positive and threatening - events in our country, that objectively narrowed our options.
In the development of international activities in the reporting 2013 University laid new traditions and mechanisms to solve the problems important for the KPI, and for the whole of Ukraine. Among them are: the implementation of institutional changes on the basis of the accumulation of international experience, strengthen the international design, educational and research activities, the use of mechanisms for the development of international cooperation through joint international structures, expansion of the dual degree program, participation in regional and global programs, the international transfer of technology, and others.
