Introduction: the strategic directions for post-war recovery in Ukraine involve preserving and enhancing higher education institutions' educational and cultural potential, intensifying knowledge-intensive technologies' development, and transforming the education system towards public management and digitalisation. There is a growing demand for the development of higher education in productive educational-cognitive directions, specialisation, and universalisation. The article aims to analyse the potential synergy of the transformation of institutional and social concepts in the functioning of higher education in the context of post-war recovery in Ukraine.
Method: the study employed general research methods, including generalisation, comparison, systematisation, abstraction, analysis, synthesis, and concretisation, to analyse the experience of foreign countries in adapting their higher education systems to crisis and post-crisis conditions.
Results: the study examined the requirements and possibilities for modernising and improving the higher education system in Ukraine through the interaction between the labour market and the educational environment. The research summarised the issues with the functioning of the higher education system during martial law. It proposed a comprehensive approach to regenerating and optimising the higher education system during the post-war recovery period.
Conclusions: the study demonstrated the need for synergy between social and institutional dynamics in higher education transformation. The results suggest ways to improve higher education by integrating different vectors of the social-institutional environment
