The Council of Young Scientists of the IPCC of the NAS of Ukraine has formed its team of active youth to represent, protect and implement the professional, intellectual, social interests and rights of young scientists. We can attest through our example that the opinion of young scientists has power and we are actively working to develop and protect our young specialists. Due to our activities, we form an active community. At the initiative of the Council of Young Scientists, the scientific “Journal club” was established, where young scientists can freely discuss a wide range of issues, share their ideas and scientific hobbies, discuss new modern research methods, etc.
Annually the Council of Young Scientists under the support of the IPCC Administration and UNESCO Chair in Cryobiology, organizes and holds the international conference “Cold in Biology and Medicine”, which attracts the world attention of the scientists engaged in solving topical issues of cryobiology and cryomedicine.
