Partnerships, support, solidarity: Kyiv Polytechnic delegation participates in USN Partner Days

Iryna Prykhodko, Director of the Centre for International Education at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, and Inna Saiapina, Deputy Dean for International Affairs at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics, took part in the USN Partner Days hosted by the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) from 2 to 5 June 2025.

In particular, participants in the event exchanged experience in key areas such as student support services, an overview of exchange programmes, and best practices for the integration, education, and communication with international students.

During the event, the Kyiv Polytechnic representatives also gave an interview-style presentation, addressing key aspects and responding to questions from the audience about the impact of the heinous Russian aggression on education and the development of science in Ukraine. They thanked all who participate, care, and support Ukraine at this challenging time.

Special thanks are due to USN Rector Pia Cecilie Bing-Jonsson for her support and the opportunity to participate in this event; to Anette Staaland, Director of International Relations; Lisa Ingrid Hjelmeland; and all other university staff whom the Kyiv Polytechnic delegation had the pleasure of meeting – for the warm welcome and impeccable organization of the event.
