Анотація

The article is devoted to the study of digital interaction between higher education institutions and local communities in Ukraine in the context of martial law and post-war reconstruction as a strategic direction for the development of regional ecosystems. It is argued that digital interaction is a key mechanism for enhancing the management capacity of communities, preserving and developing human capital, and strengthening the role of universities in social progress. The essence of digital interaction is defined as the process of coordinating the regulatory, organizational, technological, and resource levels of cooperation, which ensures its consistency, sustainability, and adaptability in the context of crisis challenges and transformational processes. Ukrainian practices of using digital technologies within the framework of Smart City initiatives, the creation of digital spaces, programs to increase the digital resilience of communities, the development of cybersecurity, and the implementation of e-governance tools are analyzed. The common characteristics of such cases are highlighted. The role of international programs and grant initiatives in expanding the resource base of partnerships and integration into the European research space is emphasized. It is proven that the effectiveness of digital interaction depends on the consistency of strategic development documents, the level of human resource capacity, the formation of digital competencies, and the ability for cross-sectoral coordination. It is concluded that there is a need to move from isolated projects to a systemic model of digital interaction between higher education institutions and local communities as an important prerequisite for improving the quality of public administration, supporting innovation, and ensuring the sustainable post-war recovery of Ukraine’s territories.
