Abstract

The article analyzes the results of the forecasting and analytical study “Ukrainian Scientific and Technical Foresight” on the thematic area “Information and Communication and Digital Technologies, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Cybersecurity”, carried out in 2024 by employees of the State Institution “Institute for Research of Scientific and Technical Potential and History of Science named after G.M. Dobrov, NAS of Ukraine” with the support of the Foundation named after Friedrich Ebert in Ukraine, which is a continuation and development of the forecast-analytical study conducted in 2021. The purpose of the study is to assess the relevance of scientific directions that were obtained in 2021 and to propose new ones that have become of paramount importance after the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine. Leading scientists from the institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine were invited as experts, whose candidacies were submitted by the branches of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The experts were asked to assess the relevance of priority research identified in 2021 on a five-point scale, as well as the provision of personnel and equipment, the presence of significant results and international cooperation; to recommend new or clarify existing thematic sub-directions of research. According to the methodology for conducting the study, the survey was conducted in three rounds, for each round, Google questionnaires were developed and sent to experts. As a result, priority technological areas were identified that require priority solutions, resource provision problems were identified, and measures were proposed to ensure an effective scientific and technical policy of the state. Keywords: scientific and technological priorities, Delphi method, predictive and analytical research, Foresight project, information and communication and digital technologies.
