Abstract

The article presents an analytical review of key discussions and conclusions of scientific and practical events held by the Department of Social and Institutional Transformations of the Institute of Higher Education of the NAES of Ukraine. In particular, the materials of the seminar “Development of Contemporary Universities: Synergy of Transformations of Higher Education, Science and Economy” were considered, as well as presentations within the framework of the XVI International Exhibition “Contemporary Educational Institutions” (March 26–28, 2025) and the XLII International Specialized Exhibition “Education and Career – 2025” (April 11, 2025). The vision of a contemporary HEI is highlighted through the prism of philosophical, axiological and political principles of its development in the context of the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. Particular attention is paid to new requirements for graduates, which include the formation of leadership qualities, critical thinking, adaptability and social responsibility. The need to develop metacognitive skills (lifelong learning), soft skills, hard skills, as well as digital and "green" (ecological) literacy to train personnel ready for the challenges of reconstruction and sustainable development of society is analyzed. Separately, the transformation of the organizational and legal statuses of HEIs and their third mission – social service, which makes universities centers of reconstruction, innovation and social capital for the development of communities and regions is considered. In addition, the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the personalization of learning, management and assessment is discussed, while focusing on the challenges associated with high cost, data confidentiality and algorithm bias, emphasizing the importance of developing transparent and accountable AI systems.
