From 12 to 19 August 2017 in the Igor Sikorsky KPI a series of trainings "Data Science Bootcamp" was organized by the American company Integrated Technology Laboratory LLC (Intela) for the improvement of the qualification of teachers and scientists of Ukrainian universities in the field of intellectual data analysis.

Tonight, at 23.30 on May 26, a team from Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute established connection and began setting up individual subsystems NANOSATELLITE PolyITAN-2. He came to his own orbit of the International Space Station (ISS), where he was sent from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA, delivered missile ATLAS-5.

The development of modern information technology requires constant updating courses and programs. In particular, the direction of spatial data infrastructure and geographic information technologies in Ukraine are not enough equipped with modern Ukrainian-speaking educational literature. Therefore, prepared of two textbooks in the field of geographic information technologies in ESC "World Data Center for Geoinformatics and Sustainable Development" is an important event not only for Igor Sikorsky KPI, but all Ukrainian scientific and educational community in this area. Preparations of textbooks was carried out jointly by Canadian and Ukrainian experts as part of project of the technical support "Laying the foundations spatial data infrastructure: ensuring the base in the Ukrainian government to support sustainable economic growth". Both textbooks have received Methodological Council recommendation and Academic Council neck of Igor Sikorsky KPI.

On February 13, 2017 at Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute Memorandum of cooperation between the Institute for Global Transformations, Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute and the World Data Center "Geoinformatics and Sustainable Development" was signed. The groups agreed to join efforts to implement joint projects in the modernization of the national economy, efficiency and quality of research results and implementation of the state policy of Ukraine. The first step will be cooperation in research activities with a view to finalizing the Economic Doctrine "Ukraine 2030", initiated by the Institute for Global Transformation.

With the purpose of foresight of the possible future path of development of Ukraine and generation of scenarios of such development in the mid-term (up to 2020) and long-term (up to 2030) perspective, the World Data Center for Geoinformatics and Sustainable Development (http://wdc.org.ua/) of the International Council for Science (ICSU) at the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” and the Institute for Applied System Analysis of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and The National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine carried out the number of researches (read more).
