The purpose of the work is to determine the possibilities of using a marketplace to integrate young researchers into research projects at the university. Given the rapid development of technology within Industry 4.0, it is becoming increasingly important to explore the possibilities of using cloud technologies and platform solutions to improve the efficiency of interaction among industry, universities and young talents in order to solve frontier tasks. The analysis of secondary data was used as a research method. Data were collected from official websites of digital platforms. The paper provides a comparative analysis of the most well-known international platforms for performer searching of various projects. The digital platforms were divided into 2 groups. The first group is open platforms that allow finding performers for projects. The second group is the digital platforms of leading universities occupying the first positions in the QS ranking. The analysis criteria were purpose of the platform, target audience, main characteristics and functions. In conclusion, the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of digital platforms for the implementation of scientific projects is carried out, as well as recommendations for improving this tool for involving young scientists in real projects are given.
