An institution studying Ukrainian society

The Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, founded in 1990, is the country's leading scientific institution in the field of sociology, conducting fundamental theoretical and empirical research.

The priority topics of the Institute's scientific research are: problems of sociological theory and methodology in Ukraine and the world; the state and dynamics of social structure and various aspects of social inequality; trends in social stratification and mobility; the development of civil society in Ukraine; socio-political, economic, cultural, and religious orientations and practices of various segments of the population; social aspects of digitalization and the development of the knowledge society; peculiarities of the national market economy; dynamics of the population's social well-being; and socio-psychological aspects of Ukrainians' adaptation to emergency events.

In 1990–2019, the Institute's research projects focused primarily on the social consequences of the Chornobyl disaster and various aspects of post-Soviet transformations. Since the early 2020s, researchers have shifted their focus to studying the complex set of issues related to the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war.
