Government approves the procedure for allocating funds to finance scientific institutions and university research: Yulia Svyrydenko

The Government is strengthening state support for Ukrainian science. The procedure for allocating funds to finance scientific institutions and university research has been approved. This was announced by Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.

The key criterion is effectiveness. The amount of basic funding shall be determined based on the results of state certification.

“In total, we are allocating more than UAH 3 billion for the development of science in three main areas: incentives for scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers, development of research infrastructure and modern equipment, and institutional development,” the Head of Government emphasized.

Following the results of state certification, 246 leading scientific institutions and higher education establishments will receive basic funding. More than 50,000 scientists will receive an additional salary supplement for the first time in recognition of the results of their institutions' work.

The largest amount of funding will go to institutions and universities in the country's key scientific centers — Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Dnipro, and Sumy, where a significant part of the research infrastructure and scientific teams are concentrated.
