The task of creating an open access repository for social sciences in the framework of the development of the information system of the Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences (INION RAS) is formulated. The repository is to acquire and store he programs of workshops, webinars, conference and symposia as well as the presentations and paper abstracts. The findings of the study of open materials science events loaded to the websites of RAS scientific institutions of social and humanitarian profile as potential sources of information for the Repository are cited. For 2019–2020, over 1,2 thousand events held by more than 100 academic institutions were selected. Distribution by the number of events, their categories and status, topics, and type of available materials is given. The data supports the Pareto principle: 20% institutions hold up to 70% events. Thirteen scientific event types are specified, with 5 most popular of them accounting for 90% events with the leading disciplines of history, economics and literary studies. The available materials are unified and their 16 types are specified. Distribution by the number of events, their categories and status, topics, and type of available materials is given. The possibility for using these materials in various information and library services, building e-libraries and union bibliographic databases, and current and advanced selective information awareness services, is discussed.

The article is devoted to the development problems of the X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) method in Ukraine. XPS is a modern method for studying the electronic structure of atoms. The XPS method is used at all stages of the synthesis and study of materials, the functional properties of which are determined by the state of the surface or interphase boundaries, charge states of atoms and the type of functional groups, and material degradation processes. The objects of study are catalysts, coatings, chemical sensors, sorbents, coordination and organometallic compounds (chemistry, materials science, phar­maceuticals), surface condition and composition (microelectronics), thin films (optics), alloys (aviation and space industry), nanopowders, nanofilms (nanotechnology). The method is relevant for the implementation of targeted synthesis of materials. In the world, the XPS method is widespread and integrated into innovative branches of science and technology, and XPS - instrumentation - is a high-tech business. In Ukraine, the method is practically not presented, there is no competition in this field of instrumentation. The article proposes the creation on the basis of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine a park of unitary, high-quality and affordable domestic XPS-spectrometers and the opening of a service center. The XPS method is necessary for most of the institutes of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine from the departments of chemistry, physics and astronomy, physical and technical problems of materials science, earth sciences and all specialized faculties of state universities. In general, for Ukraine, this is at least 50 spectrometers. The mechanism for the implementation of the project can be the formation of a state order for the development and manufacture of a batch of XPS spectrometers on the basis of imported and domestic components (50:50) and attracting business to the project. Creation of a network of Domestic XPS-spectrometers allows to obtain a sharp increase in the efficiency of scientific research in chemistry, physics, materials science and is one of the conditions for Ukraine’s transition to an innovative economy.

Materials have always been interwoven throughout the very fabric of man's history. The present reawakening to the value and importance of materials, however, has become a dominant factor in manufacturing, national security, international competition and trade, consumer products (quality and reliability), and even education. Other renewals of interest have occurred over the centuries, probably beginning with the formation of the first pot from clay. These renewals were associated with discoveries such as copper, iron, and the transistor. However, in the past 40 years the base for renewed interest has broadened.A true coupling of science and engineering into the field of materials was probably initiated in the 1940s and 1950s. Emphasis at that time was on metals and the “new” semiconductors, with an interest that incubated and grew to where their central position in national economies and man's daily life was recognized. In 1970 the National Academy of Sciences appointed a committee to conduct a comprehensive analysis and assessment of the field of “materials science and engineering.” The COSMAT report which resulted from that study had a dramatic impact on the field and has been a frame of reference for the past 17 years. These years have seen a virtual explosion of ideas, processes, and materials in the field.

In 1988 a biomaterials industry panel was chartered by the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering to address needs and opportunities in materials science and engineering as perceived by the biomaterials industry. This report was subsequently consolidated with similar reports from panels in the other materials science areas into a comprehensive National Research Council (NRC) report, Materials Science and Engineering for the 1990s: Maintaining Competitiveness in the Age of Materials, issued by the National Academy Press in late 1989.After reading the NRC report, D. Alan Bromley, science adviser to President Bush, decided that materials science would be one of five priorities for research in the current aclministration. In a letter to Frank Press, January 1990, Bromley praised this report and encouraged the Academy to have regional meetings to stimulate action on the local level. It was felt that these regional meetings would offer materials scientists and engineers the opportunity to organize themselves and, cooperating with industry and federal laboratories, take the initiative to address the needs identified in the NRC report. Bromley encouraged structuring these meetings, to the extent possible, to produce items that could be considered for the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) agenda.

This issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry is based on plenary lectures delivered at the International Conference on Modern Physical Chemistry for Advanced Materials (MPC '07), which took place 26-30 June 2007 in Kharkiv, Ukraine.The Conference was sponsored by IUPAC and the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences, and organized by V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University in cooperation with L. M. Litvinenko Institute of Physical Organic Chemistry and Coal Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Donetsk, Ukraine) and the Physical Chemistry Department of the Ukrainian Chemical Society. Christian Amatore (Academy of Sciences of France) and Anatoliy Popov (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) were Chairmen of the International Scientific Committee and the International Organizing Committee, respectively. Professors Yuriy Kholin and Valentin Lebed (Kharkiv National University) headed the Local Organizing Committee and the Program Committee.The aim of the Conference was to review the physicochemical foundations of modern materials science and technology. At the same time, the event offered opportunities for Ukrainian physical chemists to strengthen international ties and collaboration, and to evaluate the status of modern physical chemistry in Ukraine against global criteria. A total of 170 active delegates from 23 countries participated in the scientific program, which provided a showcase for the achievements, both of internationally recognized experts and enthusiastic young researchers, all of whom contributed constructively to lively scientific discussions.The Conference was dedicated to the centenary of the birth of the outstanding physicochemist Prof. Nikolai Izmailov (1907-1961). On 26 June, just before the opening of the Conference, the book Scientific Heritage of N. A. Izmailov and Topical Problems of Physical Chemistry was ceremonially presented to the academic community and the media in the Kharkiv National University Museum.The majority of the 19 plenary lectures were devoted to nanoscience, supramolecular chemistry, self-assembled systems, and organized solutions. The papers collected in this issue are arranged in order of their presentation during the scientific proceedings; lectures on chromatography, delivered by Profs. V. P. Georgiyevskiy (Ukraine), V. G. Berezkin (Russia), and E. Tyihák (Hungary), will be published in the Journal of Planar Chromatography and in other journals. The program also included 46 keynote and oral presentations and 120 posters, which were distributed among symposia devoted to the following topics: chromatography, materials science, solution chemistry, theoretical chemistry, electrochemistry, kinetics and catalysis, and photochemistry.The social program included a classical music concert, welcome party, conference reception, visit to the Museum of Arts, bus excursion to the museum of the great Russian painter Il'ya Repin in Chuguev, and numerous local activities. On 25 June, an all-day excursion to the typical Ukrainian city Poltava provided an opportunity to visit the famous battlefield where the army of Tsar Peter I of Russia achieved a decisive victory over the invading forces of King Charles XII of Sweden in 1709.Nikolay Mchedlov-PetrossyanConference Editor
