Today, we all live in the extremely difficult conditions of military everyday life, when Ukrainians daily choose their freedom and independence in the fight against the Russian invaders, defending Ukraine in the ranks of the Armed Forces, working inspired and hard for our Victory in the rear, preserving all the critically important potential of our society, necessary for defense needs and post-war reconstruction of the Motherland. Considering the complex challenges for our state, the Council of Young Scientists of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine makes great efforts to hold our scientific front with dignity, providing for the needs and defending the interests of academic youth, promoting their effective activities and public visibility. In order to support talented young scientists in 2023, we launched and implemented the annual competition “The best young scientist of the Academy”.
During August – October 2023, the responsible commission received applicant questionnaires. The review of the scientific results of the contestants took place in accordance with 13 specified nominations: 1) “Information sciences and mathematics”; 2) “Physics and astronomy”; 3) “Technical sciences”; 4) “Earth Sciences and Sustainable Development”; 5) “Materials Science”; 6) “Nanotechnologies”; 7) “Energy”; 8) “Chemistry”; 9) “Biology”; 10) “Biotechnology”; 11) “Economics, management and sociology”; 12) “History, philosophy and law”; 13) “Literary studies, linguistics, folk studies and art studies”. For an unbiased and objective assessment of the achievements of young scientists over the past three years (2021-2023), a group of experts worked according to specially developed criteria.
It should be noted that all the participants of the competition worked fruitfully, publishing individual monographs, chapters in collective works, articles in specialized publications and magazines entered into international scientometric databases, registering patents, participating in various scientific research projects, testing the obtained results at international and all-Ukrainian conferences, round tables, symposia. The evaluation results show that every young scientist of the Academy performed his research work well and is worthy of recognition. Therefore, the competition commission and a group of experts had to carefully select the highest rated applicants in the above nominations.
