The authors consider IT projects features related to the current processes in higher education reforms. Informational and terminological concepts of project actions, their possibilities and prospects of application with regard to educational innovations are in the focus of attention. The article presents a multi-component analysis of individual concepts while reviewing Learnopolis international project launched on the joint initiative of two higher educational institutions, i.e. Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (Ukraine) and the University of Bayreuth (Germany). The immediate implementation is carried out by the Department of Intercultural Communication and Translation and the Centre for Teacher Professional Development. The conceptual approach contributes to the creation of a certain specific model of communicative phenomenon. Through its actualization and feasible analysis, the organizers anticipate a competent attempt to answer the questions related to the development of educational processes, the requirements for the participants of the nearest future educational communication (subjectively Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop IT Project Management (ITPM 2021), February 16-18, 2021, Slavsko, Lviv region, Ukraine ORCID: 0000-0001-8307-1784 (Roman Krokhmalnyi); 0000-0002-0685-1047 (Halyna Krokhmalna); 0000-0002-7167-4964 (Danylo Krokhmalnyi); 0000-0001-5577-4773 (Parviz Kazymi)

Problem statement. The current trends in the development of human civilization pose particularly high requirements for the employment of IT projects within the educational realm. The problems of multimedia and overwhelming spreading of social communications create certain conditions, which should, at first glance, facilitate smooth integration of IT in various forms of educational projects, yet a number of new issues are put forward, which form the problem of adapting the educational environment to the new settings. The traditionally normative nature of pedagogical action collides with the other, hitherto unimplemented, principles of management, radically different from the previous industry environment. If earlier it was enough for the pedagogical community to be guided by strictly normative and approved principles for a long period of time and these principles stabilized the educational sector to a certain, almost permanent coherent state, then under the new conditions of information society origination such fundamentally oriented regularities are opposed by the rapid pace of changes in the life (often virtual) of individuals, which instantly overcome the barriers of time, EMAIL: halyna.krokhmalna@lnu.edu.ua (Halyna

The requirement to change fundamental pillars of education has become the demand of the time. One of the levers in such a process is IT project management, which has proven to be a dynamic, precise and effective way of influence.
The issue of transformations in education and the role of project management in this process is not
novel for scientific researches. There are a number of scientists who focus on its various aspects, in
particular the role of project management – S. Bushuev [
Objective: To perform a multicomponent analysis of selected concepts as exemplified by the international project Learnopolis, created on the joint initiative of two higher educational institutions, namely the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (Ukraine) and the University of Bayreuth (Germany), while the direct implementation is carried out by the Department of Intercultural Communication and Translation and the Professional Development Centre, to establish the dependence of information and terminological concepts as tokens of project implementation activity and to determine the possibility of logical sequence of system features and prospects for the implementation of a particular IT project in the educational space.
In the summary of the Learnopolis IT project following concepts can be distinguished: international cooperation (the IT project was created jointly by scientists of the University of Bayreuth and the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv), the declaration of support for digital learning, practical concepts ("steps") ("creating appropriate frameworks and tools, adapted to the needs of universities and users").
The Learnopolis project is structured in the context of conceptual processes, i.e. "implementation of digital technologies", "internationalization" and "innovation", which are presented in "three basic modules".
As a result of the analysis of terminological units, let us consider several concepts within the framework of the proposed IT project. We are interested in informational and terminological concepts and their possible varieties.
The material for our study includes the IT-project's official resource (https://learnopolis.net). Within the declared trend of introduction of digital technologies in the educational process, let us consider the first concept containing terminological features associated with digital technologies.
The dominant terminological units [
The project involves studying of distinctive features at higher education institutions, respectively, in Lviv and Bayreuth. The authors note the difference of these components "not only in terms of human and financial resources," but also assume the presence of functional peculiarities in the "organizational structure, mode of operation, specific goals, and offerings". The organization of mutual visits seems logical, the purpose of which, according to the authors, is to "find common solutions" (demonstration and reflection are essential for an accurate and clear understanding of the differences). The form of such communications is "bilateral week-long working visits of delegations, whose members are representatives of key structural units".
Conceptually, the Inter-University communication is confirmed within the project by a number of reviews and reports. In particular, the opinion of German colleagues contains a series of visionary considerations regarding the project ( Julia Walz: "In Lviv, as in Bayreuth, I still see an urgent need to promote the idea of open access for scientists and to convince scientists to publish their work so that later scientific achievements do not remain only in the universities, but become available to all those interested. Therefore, we could jointly engage in educational activities, for example, organize an information campaign by distributing online brochures." Wiltrud Tusso's response: "Since both university libraries are affiliated with national structures in their organization and activities, I think there should be an exchange of experiences related to library problems having an international scope. These are, for example, issues of open access, open science, and other allied topics such as Creative Commons licenses" (Figure 5). exchange program", "future project ideas"), which become a logical objective of the previous stages and an attempt to outline the future implementation possibilities of the not yet written project actions.
Following the analysis of individual concepts of the Learnopolis international project and based on the established logical sequence of system features of the IT project in the educational setting, there is a good reason to assert the obvious influence of the IT project on the formation of the educational environment. This is confirmed by the individual dominants at the conceptual informational and terminological level containing the goals, objectives, and development opportunities planned by the authors of the IT project.
The study of individual terminological and informational features of the IT project makes it possible to affirm that the research object is characterized by a highly applied nature of implementation, associated directly with practical steps, so we observe the low frequency of usage of terminological units of strategic nature relevant to the information educational environment at large, while individual observations of project participants become not only a means of introspection, but also an opportunity for synchronous reforming for the qualitative result.
We believe that perspectives of the Learnopolis IT project pave the way for the acquisition of new digital competencies, the formation of a sustainable professional approach to a particular learning goal in a particular academic community, and the implementation of future joint IT projects at the qualitative level of scientific and educational inter-university communication. 5.
