Based on the principles of university autonomy, it expands the rights and responsibilities of higher education institutions with regard to the development of their internal academic integrity systems. From now on, the authorised body of a higher education institution or research organisation will be the sole body responsible for investigating reports of breaches of academic integrity and applying the remedial measures provided for by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the first half of 2026, the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance worked systematically to clarify the new legislative provisions. A series of seminars, workshops and expert discussions were held in Lviv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Kyiv, attended by representatives from over 120 higher education institutions, research organisations and stakeholders. Following extensive consultations and expert discussions, NAQA has developed and recommended for use by higher education institutions and research organisations a Model Procedure (section) for the consideration of reports concerning indications of academic plagiarism, fabrication and falsification in academic papers, on the basis of which, or taking into account which, a person was awarded an academic degree, a Doctor of Arts degree, a higher education qualification or an academic title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The document can be viewed on the NAQA\u2019s official website via this <a href=\"https:\/\/naqa.gov.ua\/%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BD%D1%96-%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B8-%D1%89%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BE-%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BC%D1%96%D1%87%D0%BD\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/naqa.gov.ua\/%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BD%D1%96-%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B8-%D1%89%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BE-%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BC%D1%96%D1%87%D0%BD\/\">link<\/a> (in Ukrainian).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the work on practical tools for implementing the Law is continuing. Together with its partners, NAQA is considering the possibility of extending access for Ukrainian higher education and research institutions to text-matching programmes. Further details will be announced separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We urge higher education institutions and research organisations to view the implementation of the Law of Ukraine &#8220;On Academic Integrity&#8221; as an opportunity to further strengthen a culture of academic integrity, build trust in the outcomes of teaching and research, and develop internal quality assurance systems. NAQA will continue to provide the necessary methodological support, facilitating the practical implementation of the new legislative provisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 31 July 2026, the Law of Ukraine &#8220;On Academic Integrity&#8221; comes into force.
