The match is in close cooperation with the Kiev Polytechnic Institute Ihor Sikorskyj (KPI). This exchange has existed since the beginning of 2023. In addition to the technical level, both sides benefit from the very valuable cultural experiences.

A Ukrainian scientist has already successfully completed research stay at the match (phi-article). This will be followed up on in the near future and further such stays will be carried out in collaboration with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Joint courses are also sought to promote diversity in teaching. Furthermore, the match was already able to send discarded or surplus hardware and software to the KPI.
