Based on the results of the first and second selection stages, 14 centers were selected to receive over UAH 21 million in funding for measures aimed at increasing energy autonomy and improving functional efficiency. The funding will cover the procurement and installation of alternative energy systems (such as solar panels, inverters, and batteries), as well as the upgrade of research equipment.
The selected centers are based at leading higher education institutions, including:
- SRF “Microscopy and Laser Spectroscopy” — Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
- SRF “Ground-Based Information Complex for Earth Space Monitoring” — Polissia National University
- SRF “Additive Manufacturing Technologies (3D Printing)” — Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design
- SRF “Nanotechnology Laboratory for Materials Science, Energy, and Medicine” — Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University
- SRF “Functional Materials Science and Innovative Materials” — Ukrainian State University of Science and Technology
- SRF “Laboratory of Innovative Scientific Programs and Projects for the Development of Advanced Materials and Technologies” — Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University
- SRF of the Medical Institute “Center for Biomedical Research” — Sumy State University
- SRF of Cell Biology and Bioenergetics — Ivan Franko National University of Lviv
- SRF “Immersive Multifunctional Hub” — West Ukrainian National University
- SRF “KAI DIP TECH” — State Non-Commercial Enterprise “State University ‘Kyiv Aviation Institute’”
- SRF “Interdepartmental Educational and Technological Center for High-Voltage Impulse Technology” — National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”
- SRF “Materials Diagnostics” — Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University
- SRF “Modern Research Technologies of Earth and Solar System Matter” — Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
- SRF “Shared Computing Equipment Center” — Sumy State University
Main funding areas include:
- Procurement of alternative energy systems (solar panels, inverters, batteries, BMS controllers, etc.);
- Modernization of scientific equipment through module upgrades or replacement of outdated components;
- Repairs and technical maintenance to ensure accuracy and stable operation.
This initiative is part of the Ministry’s systemic approach to supporting research infrastructure in Ukraine, aimed at ensuring the sustainable operation of SRFs under conditions of energy insecurity.
