President Viktor Yuschenko is sure that world demand for solutions of Ukrainian scientists will grow.

Ukrainian News learned this from the presidential press service.

The President made this statement at a general meeting of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv.

He said that solutions and projects of Ukrainian scientists in the fuel and energy and space industries are vital and in high demand.

"I am deeply convinced that now it is time when Ukrainian science, which has traditionally had a high level of development, Ukrainian technologies are becoming popular. We have reasons to be proud of Ukrainian science and education. This is a great school," the press service quoted the President as saying.

Yuschenko noted that deepening of international integration is principally important for further development of the Ukrainian research field because scientific and technical cooperation with the European Union will contribute to the involvement of Ukrainian scientists in the common European research space.

"We need to formulate joint tactics in this area, outline a joint plan of actions for a short-run," the press service quoted the President as saying.

As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Yuschenko called education and science the basics of national competitiveness.
