PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS
Integration into international research is the strategic direction of University’s development. In 2006 Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute was among the very first in Ukraine to introduce the Bologna Process and pursue the policy “Education – Science – Innovation.” University’s participation in 21 TEMPUS projects was a major factor in its progress.
The University has two National Contact Points for the EU’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme, centers of in-depth cooperation for several countries, including Poland, France, Japan, and China, and the Center for International Education. The University offers 10 double degree MSc programs. In conjunction with the Kyiv affiliate of the Boeing Corporation, the University has launched a dual training program for young instructors, which is implemented at the Boeing representative office in Ukraine.
