 The main achievements of the staff of the Department of paleontology and stratigraphy of the Paleozoic deposits of the Institute of the Geological Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine for the period from 1990 to 2018 were highlighted. Their goal was to identify the regularities of the geological structure of the sedimentary cover of different regions of Ukraine, to use the phenomena of the animal and plant world evolution during the Paleozoic to justify the stratigraphic boundaries as boundaries of reorganization of paleoecosystems of different rank. The main directions of research are considered: the study and monographic description of the most important groups of fossils with the aim of construction of zonal biostratigraphic scales and detailed regional stratigraphic schemes for Paleozoic systems of different regions of Ukraine; participation in the research of the international projects of the International Union of Geological Sciences for the improvement of the International Chronostratigraphic Paleozoic Scale; the study of the distribution of facies and formations in the past geological epochs, the compilation of lithofacial and paleogeographical maps. Creation of an independent school of highly qualified internationally estimated stratigraphers and paleontologists, authors of papers and books of the international level and stratigraphic schemes of all the Paleozoic systems of Ukraine, as well as its own Stratigraphic Code are considered as the most important achievements of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in the field of paleontology and stratigraphy for 100 years of its existence. The main trends in the development of paleontological and stratigraphic studies throughout the world and the possibilities for their development in the Institute of Geological Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine are indicated.
