The delegation of NTU “KhPI” headed by rector of the University Yevgen Sokol paid a visit to four Universities in Turkey. Among them are İstanbul Üniversitesi – Cerrahpaşa, Istanbul Technical University, Bahçeşehir University and Istanbul Gedik University. Following the results of the visit, cooperation contracts were signed in scientific and educational fields and the major avenues of further cooperation have been outlined.
In particular, the agreements anticipate the partnership in the following fields:
- with the Bahçeşehir University (BAU) in the field of liberal sciences, sociology and social issues;
- with İstanbul Gedik University in the field of different technologies, in particular welding, mechanical engineering technology, and pressure metal treatment;
- with Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa we anticipate joint studies of the materials provided by the Archive of the Ottoman Empire on the cooperation of Ukraine and Turkey over the last 600 years and this archive was handed over to the KhPI in June 2021 and we also anticipate the cooperation in the field of medical electronics and microelectronics;
- with Istanbul Technical University, in view of the change of rector, we got the confirmation of the validity of earlier signed agreements on friendly mutual relations and the extension of cooperation between the Universities including those in the field of information technologies and computer sciences.
“We carried on negotiations on the major avenues of our activities and the instruments of cooperation. In particular, these include the exchange of students, post-graduate students, and the teachers and also joint scientific projects. Istanbul Universities selected particular areas that are of great interest to them at KhPI and these areas include a broad spectrum. At the moment, we prepare invitation letters to allow the delegations of these Universities to visit the Kharkiv Polytechnic University. Hence, we will be able to work out the approaches to our joint activities and conclude appropriate contracts on suggested avenues”, — said Rector of NTU “KhPI” Yevgen Sokol.
