According to the results of the competitive selection conducted by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the University was included in the list of higher education institutions whose scientific initiatives received funding from the State Budget of Ukraine.
The results of the main competition for fundamental and applied research projects, as well as the competition for projects by young scientists, published by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, confirmed the high competitiveness of Poltava Polytechnic’s research teams. As a result of the selection, four University projects were supported, which became one of the best results in the region.
