The development of partnerships between European countries in the field of cyber education is currently playing a significant role in enhancing countries’ cyber potential and comprehensive and systemic counteraction to cyber threats. The research aims to outline the main principles of implementing an integrated cyber education system in European countries. To solve the tasks set, the research uses the following methods: cognition methods to study theoretical foundations of digital education development; comparative and analytical methods to analyze National Cybersecurity Indices and Digital Development Level Indices of the EU and Ukraine; heuristic (expert) methods to formulate the goal, objectives, conclusions and recommendations to form a multilevel generalized model of cyber education; and logical and formalized methods to outline the relevance of cyber education to counter cyber threats. The research discusses the issue of digital education, presents National Cybersecurity Indices and Digital Development Level Indices of countries, explores the gaps between National Cybersecurity Indices and Digital Development Level Indices of the EU and Ukraine, and outlines the basic principles of the European Cybersecurity Taxonomy. The main research results are the proposed categorical apparatus of integrated cyber education in European countries and the multi-level generalized model of cyber education to gradually acquire skills and abilities to combat cyber threats introduced from primary school to adult education. Thus, a comprehensive acquisition of skills to combat cyber threats will help to develop knowledge, skills and abilities of European citizens in the field of cybersecurity and improve the cyber potential of European countries. The introduction of unified regulatory courses and methodological support developed in accordance with the best international practices and harmonized with the terminology of EU and NATO member states will enable effective cooperation in a single information and cyber space.

The article examines the modern paradigm of education diplomacy through the elements of public diplomacy instead of classical understanding of diplomacy, namely, the formation of the image of an educational institution, interpersonal relations of participants in the educational process and the definition of new content in the global educational space. Besides, a discourse analysis is conducted, the main tasks of education diplomacy are formulated and defined. The methodological foundations of education diplomacy functioning are considered basing on generalizations of the experience and observations covering this issue, which indicate the multi-vector nature and relevance of the proposed research. Ukraine takes an important place in the development of global education diplomacy, due to positioning itself as a country of cultural and educational values on the international arena. The expert opinions of scientists studying the issue of education diplomacy from the point of view of current development, advantages and challenges are given in the article. An integral part of education is scientific diplomacy, which has been gaining special relevance, since the publication and content of educational and scientific literature determine not only education in general, but also the educational and informational context of the country, in particular. Emphasizing positive trends and achievements in the field of education diplomacy, the authors, on the other hand, listed some problems and challenges in Ukraine, proposed relevant conclusions regarding the in-depth study of the issue. The result of the research was the proposed cluster model of educational diplomacy.

The article examines into the contemporary theories and concepts surrounding the current landscape of digital diplomacy on both global and national scales. It explores the role of digital diplomacy in shaping the foreign policies of nations, with a specific focus on Ukraine's efforts in promoting and addressing international issues. The authors defines modern theoretical foundations of digital diplomacy, and disloses categorial discourse of digital diplomacy within terms of web-diplomacy, twiplomacy and others. The novelty of this work lies in the interpretation of digital diplomacy as a tool for supporting social and economic recovery, and the characterization of social media as a tool for digital diplomacy in the context of geopolitical challenges and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The authors set logical coherence between digital diplomacy and environmental diplomacy. Effective digital diplomacy relies on top-notch information and analytical efforts, demanding well-coordinated actions fueled by significantly enhanced information support and rigorous analytical processing. This approach is pivotal for advancing global challenges and achieving SDG. The contemporary information and communication infrastructure empowers diplomatic strategies to pivot towards climate objectives. Proposals are made to improve the system of digital diplomacy as a new paradigm of international relations, the level, possibilities and feasibility of implementing the use of digital diplomacy tools in Ukraine are determined. Authors substantiate the idea, that evolution of digital diplomacy encompasses critical areas such as advocating for climate-centric practices, bolstering digital inclusion and accessibility, resolving conflicts, advancing digital government and transparency, delivering diplomacy through digital channels, and driving cross-border humanitarian endeavors alongside sustainable infrastructure development.

The article examines theories and mechanisms of mergers and acquisitions, analyzes recent publications of international and national scholars and experts, provides various points of view on definition and interpretation of mergers and acquisitions, and offers the author's version of this concept. The article considers synergies that are competitive from an economic point of view, analyzes trends and the latest M&A schemes, suggests possible scenarios in the Ukrainian market, problems and ways to solve them, and draws certain conclusions. Merger and acquisition (M&A) have become a foremost strategic alliance for business, product and logistics in global environment. Using meta-literature review, a general analysis was carried out on M&A to assess motives, methods, financing sources, announcement effects, cross-border competitions, success-failure, valuation issues, and business strategies. It is highlighted in the study the main problems and weaknesses of Ukrainian companies that hinder effective IPOs are the following: a requirement on the part of domestic legislation to issue shares of companies in the national currency; prohibition by Ukrainian legislation to issue more than 25% of shares abroad; the need for the company to comply with all the requirements of a public company; the need to demonstrate stable and long-term dynamics of financial indicators and other components of financial statements; availability of financial resources to go through all stages of preparation and conduct of the IPO (5-20% of the placement amount); inconsistency of the provisions of national legislation with the requirements of foreign stock exchanges; differences in accounting and tax reporting with foreign companies. Despite the fairly widespread global use of M&A transactions in the corporate sector, Ukrainian market is not yet able to effectively use them as a tool for crisis management and preservation of the economic potential of companies due to serious legal gaps, economic problems of corporate and public administration, high political and financial risks of an unstable economy, low business culture and ethics.
