Abstract

  To increase the innovativeness of national economies, governments should allocate significant funds, including grants, to finance scientific research and development. The purpose of the article is to plan labor, financial, material resources and optimize the time of the project of publishing a monograph on foreign trade in goods between Ukraine and the EU countries using the Microsoft Project program within the framework of the grant of the President of Ukraine. The following methods were used: parameterization – to highlight the main characteristics of the publishing project; classification – to assign the project to different groups; structuring – to divide the project into separate hierarchical components; critical path – to plan its tasks; budgeting – to form its budget. The originality of the article lies in the detailed planning of the publishing project on foreign trade in goods between Ukraine and the EU countries, which is important in the context of Ukraine acquiring the status of a candidate for EU membership.
      It was found that the project will involve labor resources – the author, reviewers, department, faculty academic council, university scientific council, university academic council, designer and publisher; material resources – 200 copies of the monograph; financial resources – author's salary, cover design costs, ISBN. The practical significance of the study lies in raising scientists' awareness of grant funding for scientific research and development. Its results can be used for planning the time, content, and budget of similar scientific and publishing projects; as well as when teaching subjects related to project management. Beyond its technical contribution, this study conceptualizes project planning as a form of temporal coordination within knowledge production systems. It argues that the ability to manage time, resources, and institutional processes is a key determinant of research outcomes and national research capacity.
