National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine: Current State and Scientific Horizons of the Future

 

Abstract

The problems of optimizing the activities of the institutions of the National Academy of Sciences those have become relevant for the last decade are considered in the article in the context of the necessity to reform Ukrainian academic science. It concerns the existential fateful trials and challenges faced by the Ukrainian people as a result of a large-scale Russian military aggression, and therefore it is about the need for effective use of technical and economic resources and the intellectual base of the country, increasing the significance of science in the security and defense system of the state, strengthening the innovative component of the scientific potential of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

The visible successes of the institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine both in the field of theories and in the sphere of applied research and technologies are emphasized in the study. Attention is also paid to the fact that a significant share of domestic scientific achievements and inventions belong to the researchers of the institutes of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The investigations of academic institutes in humanities are considered as of a national importance. They have become basic scientific centers of Ukraine for researching the problems of Linguistics, Art Studies, Ethnology and Literary Criticism; the development and formation of the essential principles of the normative framework for the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state one; the study of issues of the development of the theory and history of the Ukrainian language; compiling a dictionary fund and creation of reference and published works. Humanitarian academic institutes have the merit of preparing and publishing a powerful corpus of stories of folk and professional culture, publishing multi-volume encyclopedias and dictionaries those represent the high artistic and aesthetic potential of the cultural and artistic heritage of the Ukrainian people.

At the same time, it is emphasized in the article on the phenomenon of appearance of numerous published works. Their authors seek to devalue domestic science, nullify its achievements, and cast doubt on the question of its very future functioning within the framework of the National Academy of Sciences. The authoress of the submitted article refutes these attempts as short-sighted, baseless and detrimental to the civilizational progress of the state. The researcher notes that the national sciences of recognized world countries are an attribute of their civilizational development. Therefore, along with the search for ways to modernize academic science, its full integration into the world scientific space, Ukrainian society should take care of preservation of its personnel potential, financial support and strengthening of the scientific and technical base. The opinion that the Academy of Sciences should continue to reinforce its significance as the main arbiter in defining the development prospects of the state, intensify its defense capacity and security foundations, during the period of post-war reconstruction is grounded in the article.
