Kyiv Polytechnic among winners of UK–UA Visiting Professors Programme
The Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute is among the 10 winning universities of the prestigious UK–UA Visiting Professors Programme, as determined by the Fund of the President of Ukraine for Education, Science, and Sports.
Under this programme, Kyiv Polytechnic has invited Professor Vania Sena, the Chair of Enterprise and Entrepreneurship and Director of the Centre for Regional Economic and Enterprise Development at the University of Sheffield. Her research focuses mainly on the econometric analysis of the determinants of productivity growth, both at the micro and macro level with an emphasis on new technologies, human capital and intellectual property. Professor Sena’s most recent research looks at the relationship among innovation activities, trade secrets and total factor productivity.
For Kyiv Polytechnic, this marks an important step forward in deepening direct academic cooperation with the British university sector. The programme offers new opportunities for lectures, workshops, seminars, joint projects and research during in-person visits. Such interaction increases visibility for the university world-wide, broadens and enriches the scope of knowledge exchange activities, builds up research and educational potential, as well as facilitates the application of modern methods both in teaching and in research projects.
The programme is implemented by the Fund of the President of Ukraine in partnership with the UK-UA Academic Diaspora Network, Ukrgazbank, and the MHP-Community Charitable Foundation. Special thanks are due to the Fund of the President of Ukraine for its trust and for selecting Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute as one of the leading universities shaping the future of Ukrainian education, research, and innovation.
