Recently, 18 new members of the Scientific Council of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine (NRFU) were elected. This year is end of term for many of the researchers in the Council. These researchers were the pioneers of the Foundation, developed regulations and improved the work of the new institution.

What do they remember about this journey? What was the motivation of people who did not expect ideal working conditions?

We asked these and other questions to Mykola LEBOVKA, Head of the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Dispersed Minerals at the F. D. Ovcharenko Institute of Biocolloidal Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Olga MATYSHEVSKA, Leading Researcher at the Department of Scientific and Technical Information of O. V. Palladin Institute of Biochemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and Artem PAVLYCHENKO, Professor of the Department of Ecology and Technologies of Environmental Protection of the Dnipro University of Technology.
