The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine conducted the certification according to an updated methodology that takes into account both scientific indicators and the impact of research on the economy, defense capability, politics, and society. Two areas were evaluated first: "Social" and "Agricultural and Veterinary". In total, 98 higher education institutions and 46 scientific institutions passed the evaluation, that is, a total of 144 institutions in Ukraine!
