The Taurida University, or officially the V.I. Vernadsky Taurida National University (Ukrainian: Таврійський національний університет імені В. І. Вернадського, Crimean Tatar: V. İ. Vernadskiy adında Tavriya Milliy Universiteti) is a public university in Simferopol, Ukraine, currently temporarily relocated to Kyiv.
The university was originally founded in 1918 in Simferopol (Crimean Tatar: Aqmescit) as the first Western-style university in Crimea (in contrast to the earlier madrasahs), during the turbulent period of the Civil War in the former Russian Empire. Between 1920 and 1921, the university was headed by the Ukrainian scientist Volodymyr Vernadsky, who later resigned in protest against Soviet educational reforms. Eventually, the institution was reorganized into “people’s institutes.”
Throughout the 20th century, the institution was reorganized and renamed several times. In 1999, the then-named M. V. Frunze Crimean State University restored its historical name. Following the occupation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, Taurida University was reestablished in Kyiv in 2016.
As part of a new reform initiative, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine plans to merge Taurida University with the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, where it would function as a dedicated center for Crimean studies. However, this proposal has been postponed until 2025.
