In early December, Igor Sikorsky KPI once again became a venue for professional scientific discussion. The XIV International Scientific and Technical Conference “Radio Engineering Problems, Signals, Devices, and Systems” (RTPSAS-2025) was held at the RTF, an event that has been an integral part of the faculty’s scientific life for many years.
Andriy Shysholin, Vice Rector for International Relations at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI); Oksana Vovk, Director of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Energy Conservation and Energy Management at KPI; and Kateryna Lugovska, Director of the Ukrainian-Japanese Center at KPI, met on December 16 with Mykhailo Turyanytsia, a communications specialist at the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), Mykhailo Turyanytsia, and a journalist from the Kyodo News Agency, Narumi Tateda (Japan).
A modern space for training a new generation of engineers has been opened on the basis of the Instrument Engineering Faculty (PBF).
The tumultuous year 2025 is drawing to a close. Amid the whirlwind of events, anxieties, struggles, and everyday concerns, a moment has arisen to indulge in a philosophical and historical reflection and take a look at the history of the Department of Laser Engineering and Physical-Technical Technologies. And immediately the question arose: what should serve as the starting point—the establishment of the department as a graduating unit, the launch of the major, the inception of the field, or the creation of the basic laboratories from which it all began?
On November 18–19, 2025, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute hosted the international scientific and practical conference “Resilient Communities – Stable Future: Ukrainian-Polish Experience in Crisis Response.” It was dedicated to contemporary challenges facing the functioning of socio-economic systems, ensuring the sustainable development of local communities, and implementing effective models for responding to crisis situations.

On December 25, the mysteries and magic of the Christmas and New Year holidays begin. And they are ushered in by the Christian world’s second-largest holiday after Easter—Christmas. Traditionally, it is celebrated not only by believers of various denominations but also by those who are indifferent to religion.
As Kyiv Polytechnic previously reported, at the end of the XIV Festival of Innovative Projects “Sikorsky Challenge 2025,” in accordance with its program and within the framework of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization's project “Global Innovation and Networking Program in Green Chemistry” (GreenChem), the Global Greenchem Hackathon 2025 was held from October 31 to November 2.
