IEEE Kyiv Polytechnic Week brought together two international technical conferences — ELNANO and STEE — and over 400 participants from 23 countries around the world.

At the beginning of the year, the Scientific Council of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine (NRFU) announced the ranked lists of the winning research projects selected for grant funding. Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute ranked first among Ukrainian higher education institutions in the number of projects that will receive state funding.

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.

Modern industry is undergoing an active transformation, with traditional manufacturing methods increasingly being supplemented or replaced by additive technologies. The layer-by-layer production of objects based on three-dimensional digital models opens up new technological opportunities, including the manufacturing of parts with highly complex geometries, structural weight optimization, and shorter prototyping and production cycles.

Today, we are witnessing artificial intelligence entering every sphere of life at an unprecedented pace, transforming the labor market, scientific research, social communications, global security, and the economy.

University media have already reported that last September, on the sidelines of the 69th session of the IAEA General Conference in Vienna, KPI Rector Anatoliy Melnychenko signed a joint document with Rafael Grossi, Director General of this leading international organization on atomic energy, outlining practical agreements between the organization and the university regarding cooperation in the field of nuclear and physical safety and technologies, as well as the development of educational programs in these areas, etc. It should be added that during the conference, the rector also met with the heads of a number of international organizations in the field of nuclear energy, in particular the World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS). And on February 16, a new meeting took place with one of WINS’ leaders—its Executive Director Lars van Dassen, who headed the World Institute’s delegation that visited Igor Sikorsky KPI that day.

Scientists of the university organize a number of scientific and practical conferences and seminars. Scientific activities are an important part of a comprehensive, systematic approach to creative learning and intensive scientific research.

Yuriy Yavorsky, Associate Professor of the Department of Physical Materials Science and Heat Treatment (FMTO) at the E.O. Paton Institute of Materials Science and Welding (IMZ), received the Ukrainian Parliament Award for Young Scientists, one of the most prestigious state awards for young scientists.

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.
