Photo exhibition opens at Kyiv Polytechnic
The delegation of the US Embassy in Ukraine, led by Jonas Stewart, Public Affairs Officer at the Public Diplomacy Section, took part in the inauguration of a photo exhibition on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the 1776 Declaration of US Independence. The event opened another chapter in the over 30-year history of cooperation between the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and American institutions.
Displayed in the State Polytechnic Museum, the exhibition traces important milestones in the Ukrainian-US partnership, including visits from government officials, among them US Secretaries of State; joint educational and research projects, and laboratories; collaboration with technology companies such as Boeing and Amazon Web Services; as well as meetings with NASA astronauts and prominent scientists, particularly those awarded Kyiv Polytechnic’s honorary doctorates.
The American diplomats also toured the exhibition in the Aviation and Astronautics Section of the museum, spoke with students, and recognised the resilience of Kyiv Polytechnic’s staff, who continue advancing science at this challenging time.
In addition, representatives of the university administration and the US delegation discussed prospects for the expansion of academic exchanges, the establishment of new research centres, and the modernisation of laboratories.
