KPI renews partnership with ENSTA

On 22 September 2025, Anatolii Melnichenko, Rector of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, and Andrii Shysholin, Vice-Rector for International Relations, visited ENSTA, the National Higher School of Advanced Techniques, which is affiliated to the Institut Polytechnique de Paris.

During the visit, Rector Anatolii Melnychenko and ENSTA Director General Estelle Iacona signed an agreement to renew their cooperation for the next five years.

ENSTA has been collaborating with Kyiv Polytechnic for over a decade, particularly through a double degree programme and the Erasmus+ KA171 academic mobility programme.

“Big thanks, Estelle Iacona, to you and your team, namely Director of International Relations Sébastien Raymond, for your unwavering support of Ukraine and for strengthening the partnership between ENSTA and Kyiv Polytechnic,” said Anatolii Melnychenko. “Our joint programmes – from double degrees to Erasmus+ mobility – open up opportunities for young Ukrainian engineers to progress, and contribute to the recovery and modernisation of Ukraine. We very much appreciate ENSTA's commitment to supporting us at this challenging time and believe that united we are building a sustainable future for our countries and for Europe at large.”

Currently, six students from Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute are pursuing their studies at ENSTA.
