From January 1, 2026, the Department of International Cooperation and Project Activities, headed by Ph.D. of Economics, Senior Reseacher Solomiya TKACH, began its activities at the Dolishniy Institute of Regional Research of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
The creation of the Department is a strategic step aimed at strengthening the internationalization of the Institute, expanding cooperation with foreign scientific institutions and universities, as well as increasing the participation of scientists in national and international grant programs, academic mobility.
As part of the launch of its activities, the Department conducted a survey of Institute employees on the topic: "International and project activity of Institute employees: needs and opportunities." The purpose of the survey was to study the experience, level of interest and needs of employees in the field of international cooperation and project activities. The results obtained allowed us to outline key barriers and requests, determine training and organizational support needs, and identify the potential for developing interdisciplinary cooperation.
The survey results will serve as the basis for shaping further steps to strengthen the Institute’s institutional capacity, more active participation in national and international grant initiatives, and expand the partner network.
The newly established department is open to cooperation and initiatives and invites scientists to join in joint work on international and project opportunities for the development of the Institute.
