The discussion regarding the draft Methodology for the State Evaluation of Research Institutions and Higher Education Institutions regarding their conduct of scientific and scientific-technical activities

On July 10, 2024, a meeting was held to discuss the draft Methodology for the State Evaluation of Research Institutions and Higher Education Institutions regarding their conduct of scientific and scientific-technical activities.

The meeting was dedicated to discussing comments and suggestions received from subjects of scientific and scientific-technical activities and the academic community as a result of the public discussion of the draft Methodology.

The event was attended by members of the working group—developers of the draft Methodology, and representatives of the National and sectoral academies of sciences of Ukraine, as well as other institutions and organizations involved in the public discussion of the draft document.

Changes to the draft act were presented, and specific positions on not taking into account the suggestions of interested parties were justified. During the event, a decision was made to refine the draft Methodology, taking into account the current results of its discussion, to send the revised version to the participants of the working meeting for review, and to hold the next working meeting soon to finalize the draft Methodology.

The final version of the draft Methodology will be approved by the order of the Ministry of Education and Science, which will ensure the government’s task of conducting the state evaluation of research institutions in 2024 for the “social” and “agro-veterinary” scientific directions, and in 2025 for all other scientific directions: “security”, “humanities and arts”, “biomedical”, “natural and mathematical”, and “engineering and technological”.
