Annotation.The article analyzes the development of scientific projects in the field of geography in Ukraine during 2022–2025 within the context of national and international support for research activities. The significance of the scientific project as a key form of organizing research work is revealed, emphasizing its role in generating new knowledge, ensuring interdisciplinarity, practical orientation, and innovative results. Particular attention is given to the role of geographical projects in studying spatial processes, assessing natural and socio-economic impacts, modelling environmental changes, and shaping strategies for sustainable development. The main directions of contemporary geographical research are systematized, including climate change and paleogeography, ecology and natural resources, urban studies and spatial planning, GIS technologies and remote sensing, tourism and regional development, food security, renewable energy, and sustainable development models. Special attention is given to projects focused on assessing the consequences of the war, territorial damage, infrastructure recovery, and environmental rehabilitation. It is demonstrated that in wartime conditions, geographical scientific projects have gained particular relevance, as they provide a comprehensive analysis of spatial transformations, support reconstruction processes, and contribute to scientifically grounded decision-making for territorial management. Emphasis is placed on the growing role of interdisciplinary teams and the use of GIS, satellite data, and digital technologies in research. The study concludes that in 2022–2025, geographical scientific projects in Ukraine demonstrate a high level of adaptability, innovation, and integration into the European research area. This contributes to enhancing the competitiveness of Ukrainian geographical science and forms a foundation for the further development of the country’s research potential.

Keywords: scientific project, geographical research, GIS, climate change, reconstruction, sustainable development, ecology, science funding.
