Abstract Strategic planning becomes, nowadays, an integral part of higher education institutions management. It aims at supporting universities and colleges to anticipate changes, mobilize institutional energies and potentials around a shared vision and face new challenges. In spite of the well-acknowledged added value of strategic planning in higher education institutions worldwide, it still has not received enough attention within Algerian research institutions where traditional long-run planning is still prevailing. The present article aims at exploring the practice of research planning among Algerian research institutions focusing on its main elements, namely planning model, setting research priorities, alignment of objectives, research project planning, criteria of validating research projects, researchers' motivations and research projects monitoring. The article also highlights the potential value that strategic planning can deliver to help Algerian research institutions improve their performance and achieve their goals.

Background and objectives. In Ukraine, until the mid-2000s, social policy with regard to people with disabilities was primarily compensatory in nature. Now the situation is gradually changing, the objectives of social policy are recognized to ensure equal rights and opportunities for people with and without disabilities. With the signing (2008) and ratification (2012) of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, our country has assumed the obligation to ensure the full social participation of people with disabilities in society. One of the resources that increase the chances of people with disabilities to master various spheres of life can be higher professional education, especially in an inclusive format.Methods. The study used: biographical method and interview method – to collect and summarize the information obtained; statistical method – to process the results of the survey, predictive method – to summarize various aspects of the use of inclusive education format in the system of higher professional education. Findings. The potential of the institute of higher professional education as a channel of social inclusion is proposed to use both at the macro level through the use of the model of socio-entrepreneurial approach of forming a system of higher professional inclusive education, and at the micro level through the identification and description of practices of forming an inclusive format of education in a particular university and tracing the life trajectories of people who received higher professional education in an inclusive format.Conclusion. The analysis of the successes and difficulties of higher professional education for people with disabilities shows that there is an objective need to consolidate the efforts of the higher education community with regional public organizations, executive authorities, regional and city institutions of health, education and social protection to support young people with disabilities.

This presentation of the innovation-driven environment in Colombia derives from important national efforts to gather and store pertinent information. Two large surveys have tested the ‘innovative behaviour’ of Colombian manufacturing firms – the more recent of these was in 2005. Another information source is the Scienti platform, an online effort to collect and store information about research and researchers nationwide. Finally there is the SNIES, the national higher education information system which inventories curricula, admission criteria, study costs, physical resources, research activities, teachers and students of all institutions of higher education in the country. Although all of these instruments have their problems and are still in their consolidation phases, they constitute an invaluable asset for the country's scientific policy making.

There are certain obstacles to the development of the research capacity of Ukrainian universities, which can be classified as belonging to one of the two groups: «external» and «internal». If the former include more obvious things like insufficient funding for national science and higher education, as well as the imbalance of teaching and research activities of the academic staff, the latter relate to the values, interests and motivations of the researchers. It is argued that a possible way to overcome the first type of obstacles is to rethink the role of the university teacher, who from a translator of knowledge becomes a mediator helping students to acquire the ability for life-long self-education and the constant creation of own knowledge. The competition to traditional universities presented by non-formal education emphasizes the benefits of the individual approach and personal communication between teachers and students and the special value of the personal knowledge as a result of own research. The article argues that in the absence of internal motivation for scientific research and a tendency to recognize the principles of scientific ethos, the attempt to «force» creativity leads only to the profanation of scientific activity, in particular to mass violations of academic integrity by students. Really effective research can be based only on the moral imperative of each human person as an autonomous subject of values and responsibility, and the most important factor in the development of university science is the democratization of higher education, which returns to the humanistic ideal of the Enlightenment that considers each person as capable of creative and independent thinking. Such democratization contributes to the implementation of lifelong learning and effective activities of university graduates in a volatile and complex world, and also corresponds to the ideas of the open science concept as one of the most important ways for increasing the research capacity of Ukrainian universities.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. For student youth the process of entering the profession and harmonization of interactions with professional environment and future professional activity is the key moment of life activity. This process, according to the majority of modern researchers, is a certain complexity and contradiction both for students and for higher education institution, as well as social institutions and organizations acting as social customers.METHODS. The study of the process of adaptation of student youth to research and professional activity was carried out on the basis of the Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design. Assessment of students' expectations regarding studies, the level of students' awareness of the future professional and scientific activity was carried out with the help of the University Hackathon Ecosystem toolkit. Processing of the obtained results of the survey was carried out on the basis of the "Methodology of research of students' adaptability to dual education in higher education". The methodology includes two scales: adaptability to professional activity and adaptability to research activity.FINDINGS. The following directions of training are distinguished: professional, social and research, as well as stages of adaptation to professional training: learning identification, learning-professional activation, professional-value reflection. Integration of these directions allows us to organize activities that ensure formation of necessary professionally important qualities (competences) in students (graduates), agreed with potential employers and demanded by the corresponding profession. The conducted experiment on the basis of Hackathon-ecosystem of the university was carried out taking into account the directions of training and their corresponding adaptation criteria: professional direction – activity-result and motivation-value criteria; humanitarian – communication-professional criterion; research – personal-creative criterion.CONCLUSION. Students' adaptation to future professional and research activities can be defined as one of the most urgent social problems at the pre-production stage. This is due to the fact that the student spends one of the main periods of his life in a higher education institution, since it is at this time he is formed as a professional and as a person, masters the necessary competencies in order to achieve a certain professional and research level. At this stage the professional intentions of the individual and the requirements of the profession come into alignment, i.e. there is an adaptation to professional and research activities.
