Kyiv Academic University and the G.V. Kurdjumov Institute for Metal Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (IMP), the base institute for our Department of Applied Physics and Nanomaterials, have a long standing cooperation with the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research (IFW Dresden) in field of experimental and computational condensed matter, focusing on novel quantum materials such as superconductors, topological insulators, etc. The cooperation of the Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics of NASU (BITP), the base institute of KAU Department of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, with IFW Dresden is focused on the condensed matter theory and topological magnetic systems. 

A number of Ukrainian scientists have been involved in this cooperation. Among them: Victor Antonov, Yuriy Kucherenko, Alexander Yaresko, Sergey Borisenko, Alexander Kordyuk, Roman Viznichenko, Volodymyr Zabolotnyy, Dmytro Inosov, Daniil Evtushinsky, Volodymyr Kravchuk, Kostiantyn Yershov... 

In recent years the collaboration between KAU and IFW has been boosted by the project “Topological order of electrons in solids: New materials, Phenomena & application Concepts” (UKRATOP) which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
