Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine reported on the start of data acceptance and verification in the module "National System of Researchers of Ukraine" of the National Electronic Scientific Information System URIS.
From now on, Ukrainian scientists, including scientists from the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, can integrate verified data on their scientific results through the URIS system. This primarily concerns quantitative indicators on publications and citations, grants, patents, international cooperation, training of young researchers, and other results of scientific and scientific-technical work.
Based on this data, a overall researcher rating and separate young scientists ranking. Scientists who occupy the highest positions in the rankings will be awarded state scholarships for a period of two years in the amount of 12 thousand UAH per month.
In 2026, UAH 190 million is planned for the payment of such scholarships, which will make it possible to support 2,650 researchers.
The rating of scientists and the provision of state scholarships will be carried out in accordance with the Methodology for forming ratings in the National System of Researchers of Ukraine and the Procedure for providing state scholarships to scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers included in the National System of Researchers of Ukraine. These documents were approved Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated May 20, 2026 No. 678.
Scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers who work at their main place of work in relevant positions and are included in the National System of Researchers of Ukraine can apply for a state scholarship.
The same number of scholarships will be awarded to researchers from the general ranking and the ranking of young scientists. Within each ranking, the number of scholarships between scientific areas will be distributed proportionally to the number of applicants. At the same time, for the direction "National Security and Defense", the number of applicants will be taken into account with an increase of 15%.
You can submit information to the National System of Researchers of Ukraine through your personal account in the URIS system to July 20, 2026, 1:00 PM.
