National Researcher System
In 2024, Ukraine will activate the National Researcher System, a new framework that establishes an individual rating mechanism to support scientists. Under this program, the top 2,650 researchers will receive monthly stipends, marking a significant step forward for the country's scientific sector. Support under this initiative is allocated to:
- early-career scientists,
- women in science,
- veteran researchers.
I thank all Ukrainian scientists for their talent, dedication, and work for Ukraine.
