    The Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv is a classic university with a distinct research profile and the leading contemporary academic and educational hub of Ukraine. With the independent Ukrainian nation arising, the UniversityUniversity is facing new challenges and responsibilities. The academic experts of the future can be identified by a thorough professional knowledge and the ability to think creatively, understanding the massive responsibility to be taken when working at the leading-edge of academic thought.
    Only a university with a long tradition of achievement and success in teaching and research could cope with such a mission. On 21 April 1994, Kyiv University was granted the status of "National" by Leonid Kravchuk, the President of Ukraine by Decree № 176/94. On 25 November 1999 a further Decree, № 1496/99, of Leonid Kuchma, President of Ukraine at that time, significantly expanded the autonomous status of the UniversityUniversity. Decree № 412/2008, of Viktor Yushchenko, then President of Ukraine, on 5 May 2008, further stipulated the conversion of the UniversityUniversity to becoming the main principal educational and scientific centre of Ukraine for the education of academic and teaching staff with higher qualifications. Then on 29 July 2009 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine with Regulation № 795 granted the UniversityUniversity the status of being a self-governing and autonomous national research university, while providing increased funding for the future development of the UniversityUniversity.
    The high status of a classical research UniversityUniversity is underpinned by the numerous academic achievements of its staff.
