The University is a national autonomous state higher educational institution of research type, accredited with the status of a higher educational institution of the IV level and has the right to carry out educational activities aimed at training Bachelors, Masters, Doctors of Philosophy (Ph.D.), and Doctors of Sciences.

Igor Sikorsky KPI is a public University registered by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine under registration number 000567.

The National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" is one of the oldest and biggest technical universities in Ukraine with nearly 22,000 students and postgraduates, including 500 (approx.) foreign citizens from 40 countries of the world and one of the largest technical universities in Europe. The University has been working and developing since 1898, where the environment for learning, recreation, sports, and personal hobbies of all 40,000 university members is organically integrated in an area of 160 hectares. During its existence, Igor Sikorsky KPI has prepared more than 230,000 engineers.

Cherishing the traditions of profound fundamental training and its harmonious combination with practical engineering and technical developments of graduates, Igor Sikorsky KPI strives for providing high-level training of Bachelors, Masters, Doctors of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Doctors of Sciences (DSc) under the present-day conditions. The organization of the educational process, scientific research, the structure of the university management are constantly improving, the democratization of students’ life has been developing. At the University there are 18 educational departments, 8 educational-research institutes, 6 research institutes, 16 other scientific subdivisions (design bureaux, engineering centers, etc.).

The Institute for Postgraduate Education in Igor Sikorsky KPI together with other units of the university is called to realize the “life-long education” principle.

Igor Sikorsky KPI actively participates in international educational, scientific projects and programs, successfully cooperates with 47 countries, has 32 joint structures with university partners, leading international companies.

Igor Sikorsky KPI is the leader of higher technical education in Ukraine. It takes part in the development of legislative documents in this field and is the basis for the activities of the Association of rectors of higher technical educational institutions in Ukraine and the Union of the scientific and technical intelligentsia, Association of postgraduates.

Role within KATY

Pilot Planning, Execution and Validation of AI models for enriching histological data with molecular profiling information. This task consists of coordination between the partners involved in the pilot project evaluating the value added by enriching histological datasets with molecular profiling data (D6.1). Clinicians throughout the consortium will be engaged to identify specific markers of interest that are prognostic and theranostic indicators. These known features indicated by our clinician partners will be used to account for patients falling into distinct histologies. Additionally, clinicians will be engaged at every stage to evaluate unsupervised methods for predicting theranostic markers. The specialization of AI histology-based models towards renal cancer will be made possible by consolidation of the existing patient histologies with matched biomarker and -omic data collected by UEDIN, USTAN and CEA with new molecular profiling of the same patient samples. This task will also involve soliciting biologists, physicians, bioinformaticians and AI experts from the consortium to enable the biological and clinical interpretation of the molecular signatures generated from predictive AI models. Health professionals’ perception, understanding and potential adoption of these techniques will be studied.
