Conceptual Foundations of the Legal Regulation Model for Scientific Cooperation Based at International University Campuses

The creation of a network of modern international university campuses requires the development of a universal organizational and legal model. According to the authors, an effective model should take into account both the public interest and the interests of all stakeholders involved in such campuses. The authors conclude that the successful implementation of the federal project to create a network of international university campuses is possible only with an integrated approach that includes institutional, value and ideological components. A comparison of foreign and domestic experience suggests that the Russian model should take into account the specifics of the national context. The paper offers a systematic analysis of various models of legal regulation, provides a typology of campuses based on several legal criteria, and evaluates the validity of the author’s concept in comparison with approaches in world practice. Considerable attention is given to the legal assessment of distinct cases of inclusion in the educational environment. The quintessence of the work is the idea that it is necessary and timely to develop a universal model for regulating university campuses, ensuring a balance between autonomy and accountability.
