04.02.2025

Despite the complex challenges caused by the full-scale war, Ukrainian scientists continue to integrate into the European research space and actively develop open science. In an interview for the EOSC Association, the head of the Department of Computer Support for Scientific Research and Scientific and Technical Information of the M.M. Bogolyubov Institute of Theoretical Physics of the NAS of Ukraine, Candidate of Technical Sciences Serhiy Svistunov, spoke about the role of Ukraine in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), the challenges and opportunities, as well as the importance of international cooperation.

As an authorized organization of EOSC in Ukraine, the M.M. Bogolyubov Institute of Theoretical Physics of the NAS of Ukraine plays a key role in implementing the principles of open science. Despite the difficult conditions, it provides access to scientific data and actively expands international cooperation.
