THE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINIAN SCIENCE
In Old Rus monasteries were the first venues of sciences. A major such venue of the 18th century was Kyiv Mohyla Acadamy.
Much credit to the development of Ukrainian science is due to M.Ostrogradsky (mathematics), O.Bodiansky (linguistics), V.Antonovych (history), M.Maksymovych (ethnography and plant physiology), V.Filatov (medicine) and others.
The creation of the Ukrainian Academy of Science in 1918 was an event of historic import. At present, the National Academy of Science comprises 170 research centers with powerful research and productive facilities. All told there are some 2500 Doctors and 10000 Candidates of Science. There are 203 Academicians and 280 Corresponding members, plus 81 foreign members from 18 countries, including the USA, France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Japan.
The National Academy of Ukraine ranks with Europe’s leading scientific venues. Among its attainments are outstanding accomplishments in natural history and technology, along with contributions to sociology and the humanities.
Since 1962 its President has been Boris Paton. A great deal has been done in the leading sciences over the past several years. Thus, the world’s first laser data storage came as the result of complex developments by experts on informatics, physics, physical metallurgy and chemistry.
The National Academy of Ukraine maintains and expands international contacts with academies and research associations and centers in many countries.
