Abstract

The subject of research is an analysis of the development of the logistics services market in the context of European integration processes. Methodology. The study employed economic research methodologies. Specifically, the content analysis method was used to process scientific sources and review thematic literature on the concepts of modernisation and competitiveness of rail transport. Furthermore, the abstract-logical method was utilised in order to substantiate the fundamental principles and criteria for enhancing the competitiveness of rail transport in the context of European integration. In addition to these approaches, statistical observations and economic and statistical calculations were employed to analyse rail transport indicators. The purpose of the research of the article is to analyse the profound impact of World Bank support in the revival of the Ukrainian logistics structure, mainly the railway, to modernise the infrastructure and increase the competitiveness of rail transportation in the context of European integration. Research coclusion. The article under scrutiny here demonstrates the importance of international investment and European funds in supporting transport initiatives that enhance the quality of road and border infrastructure. The report identifies the primary areas of modernisation of the logistics infrastructure, including the renewal of railway tracks and the replacement of turnouts, with a strong emphasis on the integration of innovative management practices and technologies. The theoretical provisions for defining the essence of "logistics" and the structural elements of logistics activities in the market are thoroughly analysed. The article further demonstrates how adherence to international educational standards and collaboration with foreign universities can elevate the competitiveness of Ukrainian educational institutions. The role of innovative management approaches in ensuring high-quality education and adaptation to global challenges is explored. The critical areas for the effective implementation of international practices in the Ukrainian educational context aimed at enhancing logistics activities are identified. The directions for the adaptation of Ukrainian logistics companies to the requirements of the European market, the expansion of their participation in international logistics, and the assurance of safety, environmental friendliness, and efficiency through the active introduction of advanced technologies are determined, ultimately contributing to the optimism about the future of Ukrainian logistics in the context of European integration processes.
