Kyiv Politechnic

Redrich Putyatin, a graduate student in the Department of Technical and Software Automation at the Faculty of Applied Physics and Engineering (FAPIE) of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI), achieved a strong result at The International Physics Competition (IPhyC).

At the end of February, the “Globus” Touring Club traditionally organizes and hosts the “Snow Leopard” city competition in mountaineering techniques. The wonderful atmosphere of Holosiivskyi Park, exciting stages, and the opportunity to showcase technical skills attract dozens of athletes and fans.

During the All-Ukrainian HeatTech Hackathon, student teams worked on projects to modernize heat supply systems, decentralize power generation, and protect critical infrastructure amid shelling and blackouts.

📡The Center for Space Communications and Radio Astronomy has been opened at the Faculty of Radio Engineering of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. The project was implemented with the support of sponsors, and the students set up the space themselves—from repairs and electrical installation to configuring high-frequency equipment. The laboratory already has an official license and a call sign for international broadcasting.

🤝 Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI) will work on the RE:LinkHUB social project—an initiative for the professional reintegration of veterans and people with disabilities. The project will combine engineering solutions, VR technologies, professional training in the transportation sector, and employment support.

Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute hosted an open lecture by 🇷🇴 Romanian scholar and lecturer Mihai Văcariu, known for his research in the fields of communication theory, philosophy, and cinema, and the director of the Romanian TV channel TVR Moldova, Nicolae Mocanu. The guests were accompanied by Ukrainian poet, writer, and public figure Oksana Stomina.

🇺🇸 A delegation from the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, led by Jonas Stewart, Advisor for Press, Education, and Culture in the Public Diplomacy Division, participated in the grand opening. The event marked another chapter in the over 30-year history of KPI’s cooperation with American institutions.

Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute hosted the All-Ukrainian scientific conference “The Chernobyl Disaster: Medical, Environmental, and Social Consequences 40 Years Later”—one of the key events the university organized in memory of the Chernobyl tragedy.

In mountaineering, a “Snow Leopard” is an honorary title that has been awarded in the USSR since the mid-1960s for ascending the country's highest peaks—the seven-thousanders. Without oxygen tanks, without porters, with cumbersome heavy gear, in felt boots and self-sewn clothing, enthusiasts conquered the icy kilometers of mountain slopes. It was only in the 1990s that lightweight and reliable equipment and innovative materials appeared. Among the recipients of the “Conqueror of the Highest Mountains” badge is a constellation of Kyiv Polytechnic graduates. Let’s name them.
