International activities
Multiple Degree Program
In 2025-2030, the Master's educational scientific programme is part of the international educational project 101180080 “Mathematical Modelling, Simulation and Data Science for Industrial and Societal Challenges” (MATHS-DISC).
Total project budget: €4,864,800.
The project is designed for four full two-year Master’s cycles.
The following universities constitute the respective consortium:
- University of Verona, Italy (Università degli Studi di Verona)
- National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” (NTUU KPI)
- University of Wuppertal, Germany (Bergische Universität Wuppertal)
- University of Lisbon, Portugal (Universidade de Lisboa)
- Grenoble Alpes University, France (L'Université Grenoble Alpes)
In addition, 24 associated partners are expected to participate, including universities, transnational corporations, European consortia, and startups. These include companies such as Siemens, Intel, Bosch, Bayer, and Vodafone Ukraine.
The project coordinator is the University of Verona.
The project leader from Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute is the Head of Department, Danylo Tavrov.
The distinctive feature of the programme is that participating students will obtain diplomas from several universities simultaneously. Tuition, accommodation, and travel for students in such a programme are free (covered by scholarships), and students must study at several universities over two years of Master’s study (in the MATHS-DISC project, at three universities, spending at least one semester at each).
In 2025, following a competitive selection process, 20 programme participants from 17 countries were chosen out of more than 1,800 applications, including three students from the Applied Mathematics Department, namely Anton Pieshkov, Danylo Reznyk, and Arsenii Shaparenko.

International academic relations
Ukrainian students are getting more interested in learning abroad. Due to friendly foreign relations of the department, providing access to joint international education schemes, these interests are becoming easier to accomplish.
In particular, from 2025 to 2027, there is an agreement with the Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin within the framework of the DAAD Ostpartnerschaften project, which enables both students and faculty to participate in academic mobility.
Earlier, the department had agreements with École Polytechnique (Paris, France) for the training of masters (2009); with the Université du Maine (France) (2010). In 2012, at the initiative of Applied Mathematics Department, treaty on Master training by double diploma programs was signed between KPI and Lappeenranta University of Technology (Finland).

The main aim of CyRADARS project is developing novel theoretical foundations, methods, and research prototypes of software tools for producing situational awareness of operations directed at dissemination of malicious information. When deployed with national cyber defence organizations, these methods and tools will enable capabilities:
- to monitor the national cyberspace in order to analyze injections and propagations of malicious information
- to inform appropriate national bodies
- to create conditions necessary for decision making about prevention or active response to a hostile cyber campaign

International Conference on Data Science and Intelligent Analysis of Information
Since 2001, Applied Mathematics Department of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (Kyiv, Ukraine) has been organizing annual T. A. Taran International Scientific Conference “Intelligent Analysis of Information.” Conference founders include Russian Association for Artificial Intelligence, Prosvita Publishing House. Participating countries in previous years were Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Poland, and Azerbaijan.
In 2018, the conference is changing its title to International Conference on Data Science and Intelligent Analysis of Information, to reflect broadening of its scope and composition of participants.
