This Action Plan aligns with Ukraine’s strategic priorities, as articulated in the Strategic Action Plan of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine by 2027, and supports Ukraine’s European aspirations. It reflects UNESCO’s commitment to fostering robust partnerships and was developed as a follow-up of close consultations with key science and research actors in Ukraine, aimed to ensure the plan addresses the current needs and challenges of the Ukrainian scientific sector, particularly considering the ongoing reconstruction efforts and Ukraine’s path toward European integration.
This Action Plan was refined in close consultation with the Association of Vice-Rectors of Research of Ukraine, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, as well as with feedback from the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. The plan also benefits from the support of the European Union Delegation in Ukraine, reflecting a shared vision and coordinated approach to strengthen Ukraine’s scientific sector and align its research landscape with European standards and innovation priorities.
