Abstract. In 2014, as a result of the military conflict in the East of Ukraine and the annexation of the Republic of Crimea, a new phenomenon has emerged in the country’s educational space – the movement of higher educational institutions from the occupied territories to areas controlled by the Ukrainian authorities. This process was accompanied by a number of psychological, social, economic, intellectual, property and legal problems. The greatest negative influence of the listed reasons is experienced by the scientific and pedagogical workers of the displaced higher educational institutions. The purpose of the article is to study the number of losses incurred by displaced institutions of higher education and the contribution that scientific and pedagogical workers with the status of internally displaced persons add to the scientific and educational potential of Ukraine due to the temporary occupation of a part of the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the annexation of the Republic of Crimea. The main research methods were questionnaires, systematization and generalization of information. The article concretizes the problems of displaced higher educational institutions of Ukraine due to the temporary occupation of a part of the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the annexation of the Republic of Crimea: loss of teaching staff; lack of basic funds and documentation for previous years of work; difficulties of various kinds in the organization of the educational process; declining living standards and quality of life of scientific and pedagogical workers. An expert assessment of the possible loss of the scientific and educational potential of the displaced higher educational institutions due to the military conflict was carried out by questioning the scientific and pedagogical workers who quit after the moment of evacuation. The contribution of internally displaced scientific and pedagogical workers to the results of the activities of the higher education institutions in which they work is evaluated. This assessment was carried out based on the results of a questionnaire survey of scientific and pedagogical workers with the status of internally displaced persons.
Keywords: higher education institution, scientific and educational potential, temporary occupation, annexation, internally displaced persons, scientific and pedagogical workers.
