Basic information:
The Ukrainian Physical Society is an all-Ukrainian non-profit public organization that unites, on the basis of professional interests, citizens of Ukraine, foreign citizens and stateless persons working in the field of fundamental and applied physics and its teaching.
The purpose of the society is to satisfy and protect the creative interests of physicists, to promote the creation of conditions for their work, the development of physical education and physical science, and the implementation of scientific, technical and methodological developments in practice.
The Ukrainian Physical Society promotes physical research, the creation of new technologies and the dissemination of knowledge in physics.
The Society was founded in January 1990 and consists of 40 regional and local branches in leading Ukrainian universities and research institutes located throughout Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Physical Society was the first non-governmental, self-governing scientific organization in the former Ukrainian SSR. Today it is a collective member of the European Physical Society.
Regions of active representation or activity:
Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Uzhhorod, Odesa, Dnipro, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Lutsk, Chernivtsi, Cherkasy, Zaporizhzhia, Vinnytsia, Sumy, and others (about 40 local branches in total).
Main projects of the company:
In October 2005, the All-Ukrainian Congress "Physics in Ukraine" was held in Odesa to discuss the scientific achievements of Ukrainian physicists in all relevant areas of basic and applied physical research, problems, and prospects for developing physical science and education in Ukraine.
In June 2006, Kyiv hosted a visiting session of the Executive Committee of the European Physical Society (EPS), which discussed ways to strengthen and expand ties between the EPS and the UPS, the development of fundamental and applied physics in Ukraine, the problems of Ukrainian physical periodicals, the state and problems of physical education in Ukraine, several other issues concerning the future of physics in Ukraine, and the problems of Eastern European physical societies.
In February 2011, the UPS anniversary conference dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the UPS, the 40th anniversary of the ETF, and the 100th anniversary of the discovery of superconductivity was held in Kyiv, with the participation of EPS President Prof. Maciej Kolvas. The conference discussed the current state and issues of the EPS and UPS, as well as current problems and prospects for developing physics in Ukraine.
"The Ukrainian Journal of Physics" and "Condensed Matter Physics were recognized" by the EPS and granted the status of European scientific journals.
Members of the Society are members of editorial boards and reviewers of many Ukrainian and international professional scientific journals.
Which collaboration would be the most interesting/priority?
Providing foreign grants for Ukrainian scientists, teachers, graduate students, and students.
Involvement of Ukrainian physicists in international research projects.
