FIRST INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL FORUM “MODERN FINANCES: GLOBAL CHALLENGES AND CURRENT TRENDS”
On June 20, 2024, the First International Financial Forum “Modern Finances: Global Challenges and Modern Trends” began at the Western Ukrainian National University (Ternopil). Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies acted as one of the co-organizers of this large-scale scientific gathering, which was attended by a wide range of domestic and foreign experts, representatives of authorities, the scientific and educational community, and more than a hundred participants from Ukraine and many European countries.
Vice-president of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, director of the Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Oleg Rafalskiy addressed the participants of the forum with a welcome speech. Congratulating the participants of the forum on behalf of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the staff of the Institute, he noted that the organizers of the event first of all set themselves the task of establishing communication between representatives of the scientific environment and business, state authorities and the banking sector. The quality of the discussion, its multidimensionality will depend on the pluralism of views that will be presented in it. Therefore, the participation in the forum of political scientists who, among other things, investigate the institutional capacity of state institutions and the policies implemented by them, in particular in the financial and economic sector, is not accidental.
