♻️ 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.
Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute has launched the development of a unique research infrastructure for Ukraine called TRIUMPH (Ukrainian Translational Research Infrastructure for Medicine, Public Health and Innovations). The initiative was launched by the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, which has joined forces with leading research institutions, clinical centers, a pharmaceutical company, and a civil society organization.
To mark the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence, a unique event took place: the reconstruction of a bell from the Tithe Church, which was lost in 1240. A key stage of this international project — acoustic modelling — was carried out by specialists from our faculty and the Department of Acoustic and Multimedia Electronic Systems.
📃 Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute presented five startups at INSCIENCE Conference — the largest deep tech popular science conference in Ukraine — in the fields of medtech, digital modeling, and rehabilitation. These are projects where university research is transformed into solutions that work for people.
Kyiv Polytechnic has previously published articles about the technology for treating water contaminated with radionuclides that was developed by a team of researchers from Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute during the first weeks following the Chornobyl disaster.
For more than 30 years, the Research and Testing Center "Reliability" has been making a significant contribution to Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute as an important part of the university's research infrastructure. The Center serves as the university's testing and research unit, specializing in the evaluation of the physical and mechanical properties of materials and products, with particular emphasis on their strength and reliability under load.
Yuriy Gogotsi, a member of the supervisory board of Igor Sikorsky KPI and a professor at Drexel University, has become a key figure in the creation of a new generation of stretchable OLED displays. He is one of the discoverers of MXenes, the materials that form the basis of this breakthrough technology, and led a research team from Drexel University in the United States and Seoul National University.
Experts from Igor Sikorsky KPI became speakers and participants in the event “Digitization of Industrial SMEs — Hack & Match,” which took place at Kyiv Polytechnic University.
Modern warfare is not only a confrontation between manpower and technology, but also a battle between robotic technologies. Today, unmanned systems perform a wide range of tasks: from reconnaissance and combat operations to rescuing the wounded and delivering provisions and ammunition. And we are not only talking about UAVs, but also ground-based robotic systems (GRS), which were created with the help of the hands, minds, and knowledge of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute students.
Igor Sikorsky KPI has launched KPI ID, a unique single sign-on system that changes the user experience of students and teachers at Ukraine's largest technical university.
