On the Formation of New Research Infrastructures in Ukraine under Present Conditions

Abstract

The formation of new research infrastructures in Ukraine has become a critical priority due to the ongoing full-scale war and its impact on the country’s scientific and technological potential. This paper analyzes the current state of Ukrainian research infrastructures, highlighting the damage to material and technical bases, the outflow of human capital, and disruptions in funding. Drawing on international experience from the European Union, the United States, and France, the study identifies effective models of state, private, and municipal research centers, as well as public-private partnerships and international collaborations. The paper emphasizes the importance of resilient, interdisciplinary, and internationally connected infrastructures to ensure Ukraine’s post-war scientific recovery, technological modernization, and global competitiveness. Recommendations focus on creating national science and technology hubs, leveraging international grants, integrating research with industry, and adopting adaptive governance models to enhance the country’s innovation capacity.
