Representatives of the specialty, science or scientific field periodically discuss their condition, problems, prospects for development. This applies to a large extent to geomorphology as geological and geographical science. The analysis of its status, problematic issues, state and prospects of development was highlighted during the 70th anniversary of the Department of Geomorphology and Paleogeography of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, which was celebrated by the geomorphological community of Ukraine and neighboring countries in 2020. The All-Ukrainian scientific-practical conference "Current state and prospects of development of geomorphology and paleogeography in Ukraine" was dedicated to this matter. It featured reports by Lydia Dubis, Jaroslav Kravchuk, Ivan Kovalchuk, Volodymyr Stetsiuk, Andriy Bogutsky, Roman Spitsa, Natalia Gerasimenko, Galyna Bayrak, Petro Voloshin, Oleksandr Mkrtchyan, Andriy Yatsyshyn and other researchers, which reflected modern trends in geomorphological and paleogeographical research. Given this fact, we will try to answer a range of questions that are raised by both the geomorphologists themselves and in specialists in related fields of geographical and geological science. These include, in particular: can we consider the attention, paid to the analysis of the current state of the science of relief and the processes of relief formation in Ukraine sufficient? What are the achievements of geomorphology of the 20s of the XXI century? How does Ukrainian geomorphology relate to foreign geomorphology in research methods, results obtained, and public recognition? What problems does geomorphological and paleogeographic science have to solve in order to remain modern and socially important? What obstacles does it have to overcome? What prospects await her? The highlighted research results are based on the analysis of publications, reports at conferences of various ranks, creative work of the founders of Ukrainian geomorphology, its protagonists who worked in the XIX - XXI centuries or continue to work today, summarizing the results of own research on geomorphological science. Key words: modern Ukrainian geomorphology, problems of geomorphology, prospects of geomorphological researches.

On November 25-27, 2020, the Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia held the scientific- practical conference "Storm Warnings about Hydrometeorological Hazards, Hydrological Conditions, Weather Forecasts: Current State, Existing Problems, and Ways to Solve Them" in videoconference mode. The conference also included the school-seminar for young scientists dedicated to the 90th anniversary since the foundation of Hydrometcentre of Russia, that is the leading research, methodological, and operational forecasting center in Russia in the field of hydrometeorological forecasting. The leading scientists of Hydrometcentre of Russia, the specialists from Administrations for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring and regional centers took part in the videoconference. The participants were able to dive into the main historical milestones of Hydrometcentre of the USSR and to get first-hand knowledge of modern problems and their solutions using numerical prediction technologies (from nowcasting to long-term forecasting), the state of methods and technologies for predicting hydrological processes, agrometeorological forecasting technologies, and air monitoring and forecasting. Special attention was paid to the system of forecasting and warning about hydrometeorological hazards. An active exchange of views took place between the participants. More than 200 participants were registered for the videoconference. Keywords: videoconference, the system for forecasting and warning about hydrometeorological hazards, weather forecasts, hydrological conditions, school-seminar for young scientists dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Hydrometeorological Center of Russia

The sixth international scientific-practical conference Transfer of Innovative Technologies 2020 was held, dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture. The specificity of this year's forum was that it took place remotely on the Cisco Webex platform with the participation of scientists from Poland, France, Australia, Iraq, Libya, Brazil and China. Specialists in the fields of construction and architecture, engineering and infrastructure, information technology, etc. have traditionally shared their experience. The work is aimed at the integration of Ukrainian and foreign specialists and scientific schools in the development of the theory of research, the creation of new methods and techniques, the practical application of energy-saving, environmentally friendly technologies and tools. The purpose of the conference is to communicate with specialists from various fields to solve global problems of resource and energy supply of production, transfer of innovative technologies to various spheres of human activity. The official languages of the conference are Ukrainian, Russian, English, Polish and French. More than a hundred applications were received from 140 participants from scientific and educational institutions, industry, non-governmental institutions, students, undergraduates and graduate students. More than three dozen innovative projects in architecture, building engineering, information technology, cybersecurity, etc. were presented. The results of research of two doctoral and several dissertations of PhD are discussed. According to the results of the announced competitions in the nominations Innovative project, Presentation, Publication, the winners of 2020 were determined, who were awarded diplomas. The most active participants from among the specialists and student youth received Acknowledgments and Certificates. Results of work and preprints of the best presentations of the authors were published in the Proceedings of the conference (online) and the science journal «Transfer of Innovative Technologies». KNUBA has established cooperation with specialists from Jiangsu University of Science and Technology (China), University of Applied Sciences and Arts (Fachhochschule Dortmund, Germany), Astana IT University (Kazakhstan) in research and publishing. The conference participants supported the Petition of the leadership of the International Center for Integral Ecology CEI Laudato Si (Warsaw) to the Pope and the President of the United States on the anthropogenic impact on the world environment and protection from academic violence and pressure.
