Natural Sciences: Understanding the World in Order to Preserve It

At a time when humanity is facing climate change, emerging diseases, and technological challenges, the natural sciences form the foundation of our understanding of life and development. Physics, chemistry, biology, geography, and geology are not just disciplines—they represent a way of thinking that helps find a balance between progress and harmony with nature.

V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University is one of the leading centers for the development of natural sciences in Ukraine. Innovative research is conducted here in the fields of materials science, biotechnology, ecology, molecular physics, and astronomy. These very areas are shaping what the future will look like.

Karazin scholars work on solutions that help reduce humanity’s impact on the environment, develop new energy sources, and understand the mechanisms of life. All this takes place at a university that for more than 220 years has fostered a culture of scientific thinking—open to the world and responsible toward the future.

Karazin University is a place where science and nature meet to preserve life in all its complexity and beauty.
