Japanese ambassador sizes up Kyiv Polytechnic’s potential for partnerships
For the second time, Masashi Nakagome, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Ukraine, visited the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. The distinguished guest not only delved into the university’s history but also estimated its unique potential for partnerships with scientific schools, cooperation on educational programs and successful projects.
Today Japan takes a keen interest in education, science and innovation at Kyiv Polytechnic. In turn, the university is prepared to share its engineering developments, achievements, and to adopt Japan’s best practices.
“I have known that Kyiv Polytechnic is a very important educational institution, the home of skilled engineering staff for all of Ukraine,” said Masashi Nakagome. “Now, I have seen it for myself. With your multifaceted history, plethora of talents, and great scientific potential, I am sure we have many opportunities to further our cooperation.”
Japan has been a faithful friend of Ukraine since the first days of the full-scale invasion and remains a reliable partner of the university. Over the years of cooperation, Kyiv Polytechnic has signed 16 agreements and memoranda with leading Japanese universities, foundations, and businesses. It also carries out joint innovative projects, including those focused on humanitarian demining. And new projects are on the horizon.
Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute is committed to expanding cooperation with Japan and increasing cultural synergy between the two nations.
