The winners of the competition for scientific research project proposals to be carried out by joint teams of scientists from the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in 2026-2027 have been determined.
The competition was held in accordance with the order of the Presidium of the NAS of Ukraine dated September 29, 2025, No. 455, with the aim of developing cooperation between academic and university science, supporting young scientists, and forming a promising personnel reserve.
27 projects were submitted for the competition in four priority areas: mathematics and cybernetics (4 projects), physics and astronomy (9 projects), biology and medical science (10 projects), Earth sciences – geology (4 projects). All submitted works underwent expert review by the relevant departments and sections of the NAS of Ukraine, based on which a ranking list was formed.
As a result of the competition, 8 projects were selected for funding in 2026-2027 in four areas (implementation period: Q2 2026 – Q4 2027):
Mathematics and Cybernetics
- “Qualitative analysis and control in nonlinear evolutionary systems”
Physics and Astronomy
- “Strongly nonlinear magnetization dynamics in nanostructures as a basis for magnonic neural networks”
- “Creation of controlled liquid crystal elements for the formation of ‘topological waves’ and transmission of encoded information by optical beams in the real atmosphere”
- “Multilayer structures of glass plates and luminescent layers of organic polymer compounds with carbon and semiconductor inclusions for photovoltaic converters of ‘smart window’ systems”
Biology and Medical Science
- “Metabolic engineering of the fatty acid composition of camelina oil – an improved source for aviation biofuel production”
- “Development and comparison of various designs of biospecific elements of a conductometric biosensor for detecting arginine concentration in pharmaceutical samples”
- “Condition of the intestinal barrier and metabolism in the European mink under radioisotope contamination: a field experimental study in the exclusion zone”
Earth Sciences (Geology)
- “Petrology and magnetism of magmatic formations in the area of the Ukrainian Antarctic station ‘Akademik Vernadsky’”
The implementation of these projects will contribute to the development of inter-institutional and interdisciplinary cooperation, as well as the involvement of young researchers in addressing current scientific challenges.
