We invite veterans to apply for free training on the introductory course "Advanced Technologies of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering."
During the training, you will gain knowledge and practical skills in the application of modern 3D design methods, prototype manufacturing, and final product creation using advanced technologies. You will also be able to assess your own capabilities and prospects for future professional activity in the field of prosthetics in Ukraine.
The course will help you understand whether you want to continue studying in the tuition-free master's program at Igor Sikorsky KPI, master a new profession in the specialties of "Biomedical Engineering" or "Applied Mechanics," and become a specialist that Ukrainian prosthetic centers and technology companies need today.
The introductory course and grant program are implemented at Igor Sikorsky KPI with the financial support of the Ukrainian product IT company appflame and with the assistance of the Genesis for Ukraine foundation.
Veterans who:
have been discharged from the Defense Forces of Ukraine and hold the status of combat veteran
have a diploma of higher education at the bachelor's, specialist's, or master's level in any specialty
Veterans who successfully complete the course and decide to continue their studies will be eligible to apply for a grant for master's studies at Igor Sikorsky KPI in the specialties of "Biomedical Engineering" and "Applied Mechanics," as well as a monthly stipend for the entire period of study. This education will allow them to deepen their knowledge in additive technologies (3D printing) and contribute to the development of the project "The Future of the Prosthetics System in Ukraine."

1 month
online lectures (30 hours), offline practice (40 hours), independent study and assessment (20 hours), in Kyiv at the laboratories and the Educational and Innovation Center for Prosthetics and Rehabilitation at the Institute of Postgraduate Education of Igor Sikorsky KPI, equipped with modern 3D printers and 3D scanners.
Graduates will acquire practical skills in 3D modeling, scanning, and printing, prepare for admission to master's programs, and be able to independently create elements of prostheses, orthoses, and other complex parts.
Learn the basics of biomechanics — study the musculoskeletal system, principles of physical rehabilitation, and the application of innovations in biomedical engineering.
Explore modern materials — learn about the properties of metals, alloys, non-metallic and composite materials, and their areas of application.
Learn to analyze and measure parts — analyze and create drawings of finished parts to reproduce or improve them.
Study 3D modeling, scanning, and printing technologies — learn to work with equipment and software for scanning, designing, and manufacturing complex three-dimensional parts.
Prepare for admission to the master's program at Igor Sikorsky KPI — the course is part of the program "Advanced Technologies in Modern Manufacturing;" participants will be introduced to various master's specialties at Igor Sikorsky KPI and career opportunities.
Grant for master's studies at Igor Sikorsky KPI — participants admitted to master's programs in "Biomedical Engineering" and "Applied Mechanics" will have the opportunity to receive a study grant from appflame and the Genesis for Ukraine foundation.
Faculty of Igor Sikorsky KPI, specialists in the fields of materials science, design engineering, prosthetics, industrial design, and manufacturing technologies.

Yes. If you have a disability and require special accommodations, please inform the organizers in your registration application so that we can address your needs.
The course will help you understand whether you want to continue studying in the master's program and which specialty would be best for you. However, it does not guarantee admission to the master's program at Igor Sikorsky KPI.
Veterans have the right to apply for the master's program through a special procedure. Learn more about admission rules at the link. Participants admitted to master's programs in "Biomedical Engineering" and "Applied Mechanics" will have the opportunity to receive a study grant from appflame and the Genesis for Ukraine foundation. Other applicants may qualify for state-funded education.
This course is the first step in mastering engineering professions in the field of prosthetics. The organizers do not provide employment, but they guarantee knowledge and skills that will help you become familiar with the field and continue developing in this direction — try starting a career or continue studying in a master's program.
Yes, at the end of the course, participants will take an assessment.
Yes, there will be a certificate of successful course completion.
A combat veteran certificate and a diploma of higher education — these are necessary for further admission to the master's program at Igor Sikorsky KPI.
A combat veteran certificate is needed for admission to the master's program through a special procedure for veterans. The admission campaign will begin in July 2026.
If you have not yet received your certificate but are in the process of obtaining it, please indicate this in your registration application. Also, be prepared to provide confirmation that the process is ongoing.
Please note: if the combat veteran certificate is not obtained before the start of the admission campaign, admission through the special procedure will not be possible.
For the training, you will need a laptop/computer with a camera and microphone and internet access. If you do not have the equipment for training, please inform the organizers so they can help you obtain the necessary equipment for the duration of the training.
Currently, there are over 90,000 people in Ukraine who have undergone amputations, and unfortunately, their number is growing. The capacity of the prosthetics sector is insufficient to meet their needs, and the key challenges for Ukraine remain:
The goal of the project "The Future of the Prosthetics System in Ukraine" is to develop prosthetics and innovative approaches through additive technologies, localization of production, and training of specialists. Around this goal, we have united partners to create infrastructure, take a comprehensive approach to solving this problem, and provide prosthetics to Ukrainians who need them.
The project is implemented at Igor Sikorsky KPI with the financial support of the Ukrainian product IT company appflame and the assistance of the Genesis for Ukraine foundation.
