Смирнов Олександр Олегович2026-01-302026-01-302026https://ir.duan.edu.ua/handle/123456789/6521The paper substantiates international grant aid as a practical instrument for modernising education under wartime disruption and post‑war recovery. Smart innovations are defined as an integrated package of digital learning ecosystems (connectivity, LMS, devices, and pedagogy), data-driven management routines (KPI monitoring, evidence packs, and audit readiness), and green resilience infrastructure (energy efficiency, smart metering, and distributed generation). The analytical part links sector needs (damage and forced digitalisation) with major donor support mechanisms and identifies why opportunities remain underutilised (co-financing constraints, procurement delays, weak project management, and reporting quality). The practical part proposes a fundraising/grant‑management unit, a stage‑gated project cycle, a replicable project template (Smart Lab / Energy Efficient Campus), AI‑assisted reporting and KPI tracking, and an economic justification toolkit (ROI and cost–benefit/payback logic) for municipal decision‑making.eninternational grant aideducation recoverysmart innovationsgrant managementproject cycledigitalisationenergy efficiencyKPI reportingmunicipal governanceCity Management.
