International activity
International cooperation is an integral part of the Institute’s activities, an important tool for ensuring the quality of education and its compliance with international standards.
The Institute of Education and Science in Engineering and Physics has extensive international contacts with leading foreign educational institutions, research institutions, international organizations, foundations that allow teachers and postgraduates to carry out scientific activities and undergo their internship abroad. Thanks to the joint work, the best students of the institute have the opportunity to study, get a scholarship and practise in higher educational institutions of near and far abroad countries.
The direction of the institute does not stop and continues to make efforts to find new foreign partners, to establish and develop international cooperation in scientific, educational and other spheres.

Double diplomas:
New opportunities for students of IKM NTU “KPI” .
In October 2024, a delegation of NTU “KPI”, led by Rector Eugene Sokol and heads of educational and scientific institutes, visited the Magdeburg Technical University of OTTO-Herika (OVGU) in Germany. The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss the continuation of the DSG2 double diploma contract, which allows students to study at the same time in Ukraine and Germany in the specialties of automation, robotics, applied physics, telecommunications and information and measuring technologies.
The director of the computer modeling, applied physics and mathematics (ICM), Professor Alexei Larin stressed that the program has been operating for two years, and the number of its participants is increasing. The first year students study at NTU “KPI” online, after which they have the opportunity to continue their studies at OVGU for the simplified entry procedure:
– to make an interview with professional subjects (physics, mathematics);
– to confirm German language knowledge at B1, which is a more accessible requirement than standard B2 or C1!
Thanks to this, students who are already in Germany or seek education in the EU have the opportunity to join OVGU on an individual training schedule.
This year, the program was joined by the Faculty of Mathematical Sciences of Magdeburg University, which opens new opportunities for students of mathematical profile. Mathematical Engineering program at Magdeburg University and specialty Applied Mathematics, Computer and Mathematical Modeling Educational Program in ICM, NTU “KhPI” have similar basic training.
Cooperation between universities involves the harmonization of curricula, which ensures mutual recognition of learning outcomes. This opens the opportunity to take more complex courses at the beginning of study in Germany. The joint guidance of the diploma projects by teachers of both universities is also envisaged. This will allow students to integrate into the European scientific and educational space while maintaining the foundation of Ukrainian education, and creates new prospects for students and teachers, emphasized the ICM Director, Professor Alexei Larin.
The formalization of new transactions in the winter is expected to expand the participation of students of mathematical specialties. This educational project is a step towards the qualitative integration of Ukrainian education with European and an important contribution to the training of specialists for the restoration of Ukraine.
Specialty: 105-applied physics and nanomaterials.
Educational Program: Applied Physics and Nanomaterials for Energy, Medicine, Radio Electronics and Telecommunications
Akafedra: Nurecab (EU-UA Nuclear Research and Education Capacity Building “, GA# 101173510). The project is aimed at strengthening the cooperation between the EU and Ukraine in the field of nuclear research and education. The project is funded under the Euratom 2023–2025 program with a total budget of 750,000 euros. The purpose is to support Ukrainian nuclear education, research and integration of the Ukrainian scientific community into the European Research Network. On September 5-6, 2024, a meeting (which was attended by teachers of the department) was held in Kyiv) by Nurecab, which officially started the implementation of the project within the Euratom Work Program. The event took place in two stages, combining Nurecab consortium representatives and stakeholders.
Scientists of the Department of Computer Modeling of Processes and Systems of ICM of NTU “KPI” received a grant of the European program Eurizon. The project “Investigation of thermal impact on errors in the systems of orientation of aerospace technology” is devoted to the development of approaches to mathematical modeling of processes of deforming the elements of equipment and devices of artificial satellites of the Earth under the action of heat flows that occur when the satellite is rotated by the Earth orbit. Work is done in creative cooperation with scientists of the Institute of Materials, Technologies and Mechanics of Magdeburg University. Otto von Giorika, Germany. During the stay of the staff of the department in Germany, the results and plans for further cooperation on this and new projects were discussed.

Internship in Canada under the Mitacs Globalink Research Internship program
From 2018 Ukrainian students have the opportunity to practice in the Canadian universities under the Mitacs Globalink Research Internship Program.
The program has been in existence for 7 years. About 700 students from nine partner countries arrive every summer for three months. In 2018 Ukraine joined the program. Selected participants take part in a research internship led by Canadian university teachers from a variety of scientific disciplines: from engineering, technical and mathematical to humanities and social sciences. Students choose from three to seven applied research projects interesting to them and they would like to work on. And this is one of the differences between the Canadian program and Fulbright in the USA or Erasmus + in the European Union.
Last year, 50 best students from all over Ukraine were selected for this program. The 4th year student of the Institute of Education and Science in Engineering and Physics Tatiana Doludf from the group I-45 (MT) of the Department of Geometric Modeling and Computer Graphics was on the list of the best students. The young girl spent the summer of 2018 in Canada for Mitacs Globalink Research Internship and worked in the SMACLab lab, in OCAD University of Toronto under the patronage of a Canadian professor. The project was devoted to virtual reality.

Leonard Euler Scholarship and internship in Germany
The Leonhard-Euler-Scholar Program scholarship of Academic Exchange Service DAAD is awarded to graduate and postgraduate students who study engineering and natural sciences and have substantial achievements in study and research. Otto von Geriche University of Magdeburg has been cooperating with various departments of NTU “KhPI” for many years and accepting our students, postgraduates and lecturers. Thanks to joint work, over the past 15 years, more than 50 students of the Institute of Education and Science in Engineering and Physics received the Leonardo Euler scholarship and had a month-long internship in Germany.
Last April, the students of the Department of Dynamics and Strength of Machines Sukhanova Olga and Malyshev Sergiy took the opportunity to receive the Leonardo Euler scholarship. Under the program the participants studied in the partner university in Germany for a month. The purpose of their stay was to get acquainted with the latest literature, to conduct the necessary experiments, to attend introductory lectures. The result is discussion of the results before completing the final scientific work at home. In addition to scientific events, students managed to relax, visit a number of cultural events and attractions of many cities in Germany.
