Head of the Scientific Committee of the National Council of Ukraine on Science and Technology Development, acting member of the Presidium of the NAS of Ukraine, deputy director of the Kyiv Academic University (KAU), Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Oleksandra Antonyuk
in her article for the publication "Dzerkalo Tyzhnia" spoke about the results of the "scientific Ramstein" for the restoration of Ukrainian science.
Recently, the international Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC) took place in Rome. During it, the key role of science in the recovery of our country was clearly emphasized for the first time. This annual platform brings together representatives of governments, business, civil society, and international organizations to coordinate efforts for the recovery of Ukraine.
The scientist emphasizes that this year, for the first time, a separate panel dedicated specifically to science appeared in the program. She calls this a clear signal that quality reconstruction of Ukraine and an innovative economy cannot exist without a strong scientific base. The author of the article adds that the initiative to create a separate panel came from the Ukrainian side.
Oleksandra Antonyuk stresses that during this year's URC conference, a Memorandum on the International Coalition for Science, Research, and Innovation in Ukraine was signed. According to her, this memorandum provides for "coordination and alignment of efforts aimed at supporting the Ukrainian scientific and innovative sector, taking into account the real needs of our scientists and the capabilities of international partners." The scientist calls the signing of this document a landmark event that demonstrated the readiness of international partners for long-term cooperation.
