Platform «Вільна наука»

«Вільна наука» («Free Science») is a new platform for popularizing discoveries made by Ukrainian scientists.

Scientific institutes and institutions can use this news aggregator to easily talk about their discoveries and publish press releases, and journalists can have direct contact with representatives of scientific institutions to distribute news to the public. Registration is open to students and journalists. Readers can familiarize themselves with the content without prior registration.

The goal of «Вільна наука» is to create new opportunities for:

• scientists ( popularization of results);
• journalists (clarification of the results and verification of interpretations of the scientific works of Ukrainian scientists);
• Ukrainian and international investors (to get acquainted with the practical developments of scientists).

The deadline for issuing books has been extended

Due to the fact that the majority of Library users are currently outside Ukraine or Kyiv and do not have the opportunity to return books to the Library, the deadline for issuing books has been extended to September 1 (2022).

Books can be returned at the beginning of the new academic year.

The library does not charge fines for late returns.
