In 2017-2019, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine conducted monitoring of the state of higher education institutions displaced after 2014. Since then, similar studies have not been conducted due to the pandemic and the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. The new wave of displacements increased the number of these institutions almost threefold (list of analyzed displaced HEIs). Such a radical change in the network and conditions of its existence necessitated conducting monitoring in 2024-2025 of how the transformation of displaced Ukrainian HEIs’ activities is being carried out, how this network operates in new locations and contexts, and what prospects for further existence and development are opening up for its individual components.

The monitoring methodology can be found on the Research Methodology page.

The research was conducted based on:

• materials from open sources (EDBO, Inforesource, official websites of displaced HEIs, etc.);
• data obtained from the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and displaced HEIs;
• materials collected during experts’ on-site visits to displaced HEIs, interviews with institutional management teams, and familiarization with infrastructure and operating conditions at new locations.

Based on the research results, the following were prepared:

• a comprehensive analytical report – on the Analytical Report page (in English);
• analysis and recommendations for each displaced HEI – via links on the Institutions page;
• general overview and conclusions about the state of the displaced HEIs network for each of the six analysis aspects – on the Conclusions page;
• recommendations for the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the National Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education – on the Recommendations page;
• a business card for each displaced HEI in booklet format – PDF version available for download via links on the Institutions page;
• project presentations for various stakeholder groups and project dissemination results – on the Results Dissemination page;
• regulatory documents, projects, information-analytical materials, scientific publications, scientific-publicistic works, media publications – on the Useful Materials page.
