On behalf of the thousands of scientific and pedagogical staff as well as the student team of the National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic” I sincerely congratulate you with the World Science Day for Peace and Development.
Exactly 20 years ago, at a general conference of UNESCO held in 2001, it was decided to formally establish World Science Day for Peace and Development, in order to set up a dialogue between science and society by informing citizens about the results of scientific researches, their short-term and long-term impact on our planet.
Since November 10, 2002, the entire world academic community has been celebrating this day under the auspices of UNESCO with a view to promoting science in society, the need for interaction between science and the world community, and positive stimulation of the work of scientists.
Science is one of the main tools of society on the road to progress, however, the work to raise awareness of the world community of its practical benefits has always required considerable effort, and without the support of the majority of society, its role has often been devalued.
We live in a country with a huge scientific and educational potential, notorious for the achievements of talented scientists known around the world – Ihor Sikorskyi aerial device, construction drafts by Serhii Korolov, welding techniques for living tissues by Borys Paton, Ivan Puliui X-ray.
We firmly believe that there are no boundaries for science, and that scientific drafts and researches are fundamental to the development of society as a whole. Every day, our classical university makes a significant contribution to the advancement of youth and academic science. The achievements of a whole brilliant group of scientists and representatives of scientific schools of the university are presented at the highest, national and international levels.
Poltava Polytechnic is recognized as the best university in Poltava in terms of scientific activity and is included in the TOP-10 Ukrainian universities in the most influential ranking of universities in the world.
Our fruitful scientific and educational cooperation with the academic community of Ukraine, scientific institutions and specialists of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine covers a wide range of conducted researches, popular science, educational and scientific activities and events, practical conferences and exchange of practical experience.
Nowadays the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the Council of Young Scientists of Ukraine at the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine in order to increase the prestige of scientific work and the introduction of innovations have developed legislative changes regarding the intensification of science parks, the Concept for the implementation of the state policy of development of Ukrainian e-infrastructures by 2023 is being implemented, the Concept of the state program for the development of research infrastructures in Ukraine in 2021-2026 has been developed. For the first time in 20 years, the amount of payments to employees of the Antarctic station “Academician Vernadskyi” has been increased.
The scientific family of Poltava Polytechnic congratulates scientists on their professional holiday!
I express my deep respect for the hard work. I wish you good health, inspiration, and significant scientific achievements for the benefit of the Ukrainian people!
