SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
There is a wide network of different scientific organisations in Ukraine having a close professional links between
each other, but differed by their subsidiary relationships as well as professional interests.
A Commission for Education and Science within the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (Parliament) running legislative
activity on all matters of scientific life in Ukraine.
The Governmental Committee for Social and Humanitarian Development within the Cabinet of Ministers of
Ukraine co-ordinates all-to-date executive work relevant to all scientific issues.
Within governmental framework the main research activity is concentrated in the National Academy of Sciences
of Ukraine which is a main contributor to a basic home research. The next source for indigenous scientific
activity is the Ministry for Education and Science of Ukraine, including the Ukrainian Antarctic Centre. The
runner up involved into experimental work is the Ministry of Health of Ukraine with a range of its own research
institutes. Relatively smaller portion in research belongs to all other ministries, each having its own research
installations (Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, National Space Agency of
Ukraine).
In addition to governmentally funded, so-called academician, scientific institutions there are a lot of design
bureaus, representing so-called branch science, mainly concentrated within the Ministry for Industrial Policy of
Ukraine. Many other ministries have their own research base, which helps to fulfil their specific professional
tasks, mainly in a form of advice, strategy development and creation of legislative proposals due in a course of
administrative reform running in Ukraine. Among them there is the Ministry for Agricultural Policy of Ukraine.
Such independent organisations as National Kyiv State University, National Technical University of Ukraine
and University of "Kyiv-Mohyla Academy" have a vast majority of research teams working, probably, in all
major sectors of scientific interests.
The Council for National Security and Defence of Ukraine has two scientific institutions dealing with social
matters. Among the State Committees involved into scientific work State Nuclear Regulatory Committee of
Ukraine must be mentioned.
A full list of Ukrainian education installations and their activities you can find on the Educational Network
Ukraine web site.
