An
integral part of the Research Service activities is partnership and
cooperation, exchange of experience with foreign and Ukrainian institutions and
organisations, centres, libraries, educational institutions, etc.
The Research Service cooperates with 72 foreign parliamentary research services, institutions, international organisations, etc. In 2025, cooperation was established with 22 such institutions.
Special emphasis was placed on intensifying contacts with the research services of foreign parliaments.
In 2025, the Research Service's international partnerships were based on parliamentary research services and analytical structural units of foreign parliaments, while active cooperation with international organizations and educational institutions allowed for a combination of practical and academic approaches to legislative analysis.
In 2025, cooperation with foreign partners was deepened through a combination of educational events, working meetings, study visits, and internships, ensuring the comprehensive nature of international inter-institutional cooperation.
Study visits and internships in foreign parliaments were aimed at practical experience exchange and best European practices implementation in the activities of the Research Service.
