♻️ PolyFuel, a project developed at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, took first place among 11 teams participating in the GreenChem Accelerator 2026. The project is a modular automated technology that converts mixed plastic waste into components for aviation and automotive gasoline, produces technical carbon, and can generate additional electricity.
⚽️ ✔️ Four university teams, one football arena, and plenty of sporting excitement. Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Kyiv National Economic University, and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv met on the pitch at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute Sports Complex to compete and, at the same time, honor the memory of Serhii Zhuravliov—a longtime mentor at the university, a national-category futsal and ice hockey referee, a European veterans’ champion, and an Honored Employee of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute whose work became an entire era in the history of university sports.
