Dialog between Kyiv Polytechnic and French partners continues
Recently, representatives from the Defense Innovation Agency at the Ministry of the Armed Forces of France, along with Héloїse Marmouset de la Taille, attaché for university and scientific cooperation at the Embassy of France in Ukraine, visited the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. This visit reaffirmed the ongoing dialogue between Kyiv Polytechnic and the French Embassy, reinforcing their shared interest in collaborative projects.
The partnership aims to expand Kyiv Polytechnic’s capabilities in biomedical engineering, particularly in prosthetics and rehabilitation.
“Your hands-on experience in prosthetic manufacturing and related research are inspiring,” said Héloїse Marmouset de la Taille. “This is of great interest to us, as we are also implementing several programs to support war veterans.”
During the meeting, participants exchanged technical expertise in regenerative medicine, prosthetics, physical and psychological rehabilitation. They also discussed veterans’ support policies, mobility opportunities, and exchange programs for Ukrainian and French veterans.
Oleksandr Halkin, Dean of the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, presented a unique certificate program in prosthetic engineering and technology. Nataliia Seminska, Director of the Training and Innovation Center for Prosthetics and Rehabilitation, gave a presentation on the Science Park of Additive Technologies, which is developing cutting-edge medical solutions.
The French delegation visited the Kyiv Polytechnic’s Laboratory of Additive Technologies in Prosthetics, where students, scientists and partners design and refine prosthetic sockets, orthoses, and specialized fasteners.
Hopefully, this cooperation will contribute to impactful innovations and support the rehabilitation of Ukrainian war veterans, helping them return to active life.
