Volodymr Seminozhenko, Chairman of the State Agency for Science, Innovation and Informatization said the contest would be held from Dec. 20-30, 2013. "The so-called prize fund is a strong incentive for participation in the competition. The grant is awarded on a competitive basis and totals up to 1 million UAH for 2014-2015," Seminozhenko said.
Experts say on Aug. 29, 2012 the government adopted a Resolution "On establishment of grants of Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine for teams of young scientists to carry out applied research and scientific and technological development in priority areas of science and technology."
