In the conditions of martial law, the creation of a gendersensitive environment in higher education institutions based on STEM is an urgent task. An important task of science and education at the moment is to provide favourable conditions for the subjects of education based on the state’s innovation policy (for example, STEM, artificial intelligence, robotics, etc.), as well as to provide feedback between the student and the teacher. Activation of the problem of the gender component, focusing attention on the concept of zero tolerance in the system of training personnel from the economic profile and developing a new methodology for building a gendersensitive environment in this field will ensure the integrity of the process of forming intellectual potential among women and men, is the main goal of the author’s research. This is aimed at the rationality of the organization of the training of education seekers taking into account gender aspects on the basis of STEM. In the research, the authors outlined contextual levels and contradictions regarding the formation of a gendersensitive environment, in particular: the context of the needs for social order (taking into account the equality of rights of women and men); the context of needs for science (pedagogical, engineering, technical, legal, physical and mathematical disciplines), taking into account transdisciplinarity and aspects of STEM education; in the context of the needs of pedagogical practice (development and implementation of innovative approaches in a gendersensitive environment in the context of the formation of soft skills of subjects of education capable of implementing STEM technologies in the educational process). The purpose of the research is scientific substantiation, conceptualization and development of a gendersensitive environment for institutions of higher education based on STEM. The object of research is the educational process in institutions of higher education. The subject of the research is the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the expediency of the formation and development of a gendersensitive environment of a higher education institution based on STEM education.
