Studying at the university encouraged scientific and creative activity: competitions, international conferences. In 2012 she won the Competition of the Scholarship Program “Zavtra. UA” (“Tomorrow. UA”) and was awarded a scholarship by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation.
Zoreslava Shevchuk wanted to be close to science from the first year and even then, trying to write her first article, she realized that work is not that easy.
