The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has presented the results of the state attestation of higher education institutions and research organizations of Ukraine in terms of their research (scientific and technical) activities.

From the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Yurii Proidak, Vice-Rector for Research, took part in the final event held on October 2, 2025, at I. I. Mechnikov Odesa National University.
Among 143 research institutions that applied for the state attestation in the ‘Engineering and Technological’ scientific field, only 15 received the highest rating – Category A.
According to the results of the state attestation, the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies was included in this distinguished group, earning Category A, the highest evaluation in one of the key scientific domains – Engineering and Technological.
This is undeniable evidence of the high level of scientific research, the university’s ability to develop modern scientific schools, generate innovative solutions, and integrate into the international research community.
The state attestation is conducted once every five years and involves a comprehensive evaluation of the scientific activities of higher education institutions and research organizations.
The main evaluation criteria include:
- human capacity and research productivity;
- level of publications in leading international journals;
- results of implementing scientific developments;
- participation in international programmes and grants;
- involvement in expert activities at the national and international levels;
- volume of funding attracted for research activities.
Institutions that demonstrate high performance in research and scientific-technical activities receive additional state support. This means that over the next five years, the university will benefit from extra funding for the development of science, enabling it to further enhance its research infrastructure, support talented scientists, and expand international partnerships.
The university administration expresses its sincere gratitude to all structural units, their research and academic staff, for their significant contribution to the development of science, as well as to the teams of the Research Department, Scientific Centre for Innovative Materials and Technologies, Human Resources Department, Accounting Department, and the Postgraduate and Doctoral Studies Office for their extensive work in preparing the attestation materials.
