This session describes the results of the same changes in the educational process organization of students mentioned in the previous research (2024) but at the Eastern Ukrainian HEIs: (1) the dependence of certain learning technologies and teaching methods usage on the location of higher education institutions during the war; (2) creation of conditions for the safe work of students and teachers; (3) the organization of psychological training for work in extreme conditions; (4) ways to improve the qualifications of teachers for better performance of assigned tasks; as well as (5) the role of conducting scientific work among students of various levels to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine in today’s conditions and creative specialists for the reconstruction of the national economy after the war.
