Basic information:
The Serhii Vynohradskyi Society of Microbiologists of Ukraine was formerly known as the Ukrainian Microbiological Society. It was founded on March 29, 1959, based on the Institute of Microbiology and Virology. It was named after D.K. Zabolotny, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine of the USSR, as a branch of the International Union of Microbiological Societies.
The Ukrainian Microbiological Society was reorganized, and on December 27, 2002, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine registered the Ukrainian Society of Microbiologists (USM) as a voluntary scientific and public association of Ukrainian specialists working in the field of microbiology, virology, and related fields. At the Xth Congress of the Ukrainian Society of Microbiology (September 15-17, 2004, Odesa), it was decided to name the Society after S.M. Vinogradsky given the exceptional importance of the research in microbiology of this world-renowned scientist and his Ukrainian origin.
The Society has been a full member of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) since 2009. The Society's primary goal is to promote the development of microbiological and virological science, especially those branches related to the socio-economic development of Ukraine, and to protect the common interests of the Society members.
The main tasks of the Society are:
— Assisting the members of the Society in improving their professional level and facilitating the implementation of their scientific developments, inventions, and rationalization proposals in medicine, industry, and agriculture;
— assisting higher and secondary schools in planning and conducting research, teaching microbiology and virology in educational institutions;
— popularization and promotion of the latest achievements in theoretical and applied microbiology, virology, and related fields of science.
Regions of active representation or activity:

Main projects of the company:
Preparation of relevant materials and use of the IMD resource for the presence and popularization of TMU and Ukrainian microbiology worldwide in support of Ukrainian science.
The launch of the Ukrainian sector of the IMD resource took place on March 30-31, 2022 (IMD STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE).
Grant from DAAD for the project Ukraine digital: Ensuring academic success in times of crisis (2022) DAAD Project ID: 57651454 "Digitalization of the educational process in Odesa I.I. Mechnikov National University" (with Hannover Medical School (MHH)).
Ukrainian-Lithuanian research project "Increasing the efficiency of xylose transport of thermotolerant yeast Ogataea polymorpha to improve the parameters of alcoholic fermentation".
Which collaboration would be the most interesting/priority?
Support and popularize scientific developments at the global level in microbiology, virology, and biotechnology. Scientific expertise of Ukrainian projects by foreign scientists. Exchange of experience and internships with Ukrainian scientists abroad. I am conducting online lectures, seminars, round tables, and workshops. As well as any cooperation within the framework of the Society's activities.
