Yurii Danko, SNAU’s Vice Rector for Research and International Affairs, commented on the evaluation results in a Facebook post:
“The ‘Euroosvita’ Center for International Projects has released a ranking of Ukrainian higher education institutions’ performance in research project competitions in 2025, in which SNAU ranked 12th among all higher education institutions in Ukraine. To be honest, I am personally completely satisfied with these results. Thank you to all my colleagues who contributed—by writing proposals, justifying them, and taking the initiative. There aren’t as many of you as I’d like, but you are incredibly powerful!”
Success in such a ranking is not just a matter of image; it is confirmation that SNAU has a strong scientific community. Even amid constant challenges and our border location, our scientists find opportunities to integrate into the global scientific community. Every grant we win means new, state-of-the-art equipment for university laboratories, funding for research, internships for young scientists, and the development of solutions that are already helping to revitalize the country’s agricultural sector.
We congratulate our academic community on this achievement and will continue to set the bar high!
