  The Nobel Prize is awarded annually for outstanding scientific discoveries
and inventions. Most scientific papers today are co-authored by a large number
of researchers. However, very few scientists can receive the Nobel Prize
according to the Statutes of the Nobel Foundation. An analysis of the
co-authorship of the Nobel laureates will make it possible to identify
employees of Ukrainian institutions who have collaborated with leading
scientists of the world, whose scientific works were noted by Nobel. For the
development of science in Ukraine it is important to study the successful
experience of cooperation of domestic research institutions with leading world
scientists and research centers, because international scientific collaboration
facilitates the process of acquiring new knowledge, promotes mutual enrichment
of ideas, efficient use of resources and expands opportunities for further use
of research results. Using the Scopus database, selected publications of Nobel
Prize winners, which were written in collaboration with scientists who worked
in Ukrainian institutions. The data obtained indicate that the employees of
scientific institutions of Ukraine published very few papers in collaborations
with Nobel Prize winners of 1994-2018 in comparison with employees of
institutions in leading countries in publishing activity.
