SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PRACTICE IN WAR TIME CONDITIONS: FINDINGS FROM THE XXI INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL CONFERENCE IN RIVNE

Abstract

Leading trends in contemporary higher education are analyzed using the example of traditional international scientific and practical conferences in cultural studies organized by Rivne State University of the Humanities through its Department of Event Industries, Cultural Studies, and Museology. The shift in presentation topics among higher education applicants of different educational and qualification levels, as well as research and teaching staff, is emphasized. Attention is drawn to noticeable evolution in the value orientations of Ukrainian and foreign scholars, driven by social upheavals and war, which requires a revision of the main organizational and pedagogical constants of contemporary higher education.
