May 17 is Science Day in Ukraine!

Dear scientists, teachers, graduate students, students and everyone involved in the great cause of science!

I sincerely congratulate you on Science Day in Ukraine!

Science is a force that shapes the future. You are its drivers. Thanks to your dedication, intelligence, deep knowledge and continuous search for the truth, Ukrainian medicine and education do not stand still and are constantly developing.

Today, when our state is heroically fighting for its independence, you do not stop searching, analyzing, researching. Your scientific discoveries are already saving lives today and shaping the tomorrow of Ukrainian medicine and science in general. This is not just scientific work – this is true service to Ukraine!

Thank you to everyone who, in the difficult conditions of war, did not betray their calling and did not lose faith in the power of science, who teaches and conducts research to the sounds of air raid sirens, who writes dissertations and articles in shelters, who organizes scientific forums of both all-Ukrainian and international format.

I wish you health, inspiration, new scientific achievements and confidence in the future. May your every scientific step bring our Victory closer!

With respect and gratitude,
rector of ONMedU academician Valerii Zaporozhan
