National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine

        The National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine was founded in 1898, initially as the Agricultural Department of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. This department was located in what is now the central building of the National Technical University of Ukraine 'Kyiv Polytechnic Institute'. In 1992, with the support of the Ukrainian government, the Ukrainian Academy of Agrarian Sciences initiated the transformation of this department into a higher education institution, aimed at reforming agricultural education. Consequently, it was granted the name Ukrainian National Agricultural University. The university celebrated its centennial in 1998.

In 2008, the Ukrainian National Agricultural University was renamed the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. The university holds a Level IV (highest) accreditation as per the Ukrainian higher education system and functions as a research institution involved in education, research and innovation, training and production, as well as information and consulting activities. Its structural composition includes educational and research institutions, faculties, educational and scientific centers, educational and scientific production centers, scientific educational laboratories, technological enterprises, farms, workshops, higher education institutions, educational and research farms, and research stations.
