DOI: 10.33917/mic-2.121.2025.118-126

The article presents the main opportunities that digital technologies create in the social sphere. The author illustrates what opportunities digital transformation creates in this area: many processes can be automated, citizens can receive social services online without visiting government agencies Transparency and control over the provision of social services is increased, organizations providing social services can reduce costs by introducing new technologies. At the same time, there are a number of barriers to the implementation of digital technologies in this area. This article analyzes the main ones: digital inequality, lack of necessary infrastructure, financial constraints, digital skills of employees, the necessary regulatory framework has not been created. The use of digital technologies in social support of the population creates many opportunities, but for successful digital transformation of this sphere it is necessary to take into account all the limitations characteristic of the social sphere.

According to the IMF, the US GDP growth rate in 2025 will decrease to 1,6% with the forecast for US GDP growth in 2024 being 2,1%. Our article [1] provides an analysis of «Black Monday» on August 5, 2024, which marked the beginning of the global financial crisis. In this article, we will outline the further course of this crisis. In Russia, GDP growth for the first half of 2024 was 4,6%, for 2024 – 4,1%. The forecast for real GDP for the world was 3,2% in 2024 and, according to the IMF, the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation gave a conservative scenario, according to which the growth of Russian GDP in 2025 will be 1,7%, inflation 3,7% (Kommersant, 09.14.2024, p. 19).

DOI: 10.33917/mic-2.121.2025.5-13

Approaches to ensuring the sustainability of the economic supersystem of Russia and Belarus in the event of a nuclear attack are formulated. The technology under consideration is proposed as an integral part of the infrastructural segment of the economic supersystem for work in the context of implementing complex special projects (operations) with the adoption of justified management decisions that fit into the boundaries of trust between the command center and the operational zone, focused on the priorities of the strategy for conducting the SVO.

State and prospects of scientific and technical co-operation and development of the EAEU

DOI: 10.33917/mic-2.121.2025.14-23

Globalisation, accompanied by the industrial leadership of «developed countries», is being replaced by regionalisation, which is built on conditions of equality and cooperation in common interests. The EU and the Eurasian Economic Union are illustrative examples of the international organisation of regional economic integration. In the context of changes in the architecture of the global technological system, the EAEU faces the task of deepening scientific and technical co-operation. On the agenda is the issue of reducing the level of import dependence in a number of types of finished products, the solution to these issues is associated with the involvement of research base: Eurasian technology platforms, the work of which is aimed at consolidating the scientific potential of the EAEU countries on the way to achieving technological sovereignty. The article analyses the organisation of scientific and technical cooperation in the EU in order to use this experience to solve problems and justify the prospects of scientific and technical cooperation and industrial cooperation within the EAEU.
