Abstract
In times of war and crisis, higher education institutions (HEIs) face unprecedented challenges requiring transdisciplinary adaptability, resilience, and innovative leadership. Digital transformation plays a crucial role in sustaining transdisciplinary academic processes, institutional governance, and crisis management.
This study aims to examine the transdisciplinary strategies deployed by Ukrainian universities, in navigating wartime impediments while fostering digital institutional leadership, ensuring academic sustainability, and strengthening governance frameworks.
Drawing from the Universities’ experience in educational leadership, strategic management, and crisis adaptation, the study explores digital governance, AI-enhanced institutional resilience, and leadership frameworks rooted in servant leadership philosophy. The paper highlights key institutional responses, including the integration of digitalized administrative workflows, crisis management systems, and AI-powered strategic decision-making to support academic operations during wartime uncertainty.
Applied trans-disciplinary lens contributes to the solution of holistic modeling of processes and results of updating models and mechanisms of the highly dynamic communication system of education in the digital environment as a whole and its individual formats in the emergency digitization measures of different types.
