Summing up the results of work in 2009-2014, participants in the report-back session of a general meeting of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) pointed out world-class achievements of Ukrainian researchers.

In particular, Ukrainian mathematicians solved the Hille problem, which scientists in other countries had been tackling for 70 years. NASU institutes have achieved successes in research on the novel materials that are characterized by high-temperature strength and resistance to wear.

For the first time in history of astrophysical research Ukrainian scientists measured the force of solar radiation when energy was being emitted from the interior of the sun. NASU researchers have obtained the data, which shed light on one of the mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease.

It was pointed out at the meeting that an increase in Ukrainian researchers’ contribution to world science would be the priority task of the concept of NASU development for the period ending in 2023.
