Working meeting with the staff of  the Municipal Scientific Research Institution “Scientific Research Institute for Socio-Economic Development of the City”, during this meeting the key areas of the institution’s scientific and analytical activities were discussed.

The main attention was paid to the preparation of scientific articles for publication in professional Ukrainian and international publications, the development of inter-institutional cooperation with higher education institutions and scientific institutions, as well as the formation of thematic researches dedicated to topical issues of the development of territorial communities, urbanism, spatial planning, digital transformation and sustainable development of cities.

Separately, the issue of participation of the Institute’s employees in scientific and practical conferences, international forums and grant projects was considered. Promising areas of research were discussed, the preparation of collective monographs, analytical reports and methodological recommendations, which can become a practical tool for local governments. I am convinced that the combination of scientific potential, practical experience, and teamwork is the key to creating high-quality research and modern solutions that will contribute to the sustainable development of communities and effective local self-government.
