Project Summary:
Russian and world experience demonstrates that building up research university is possible though it’s hard. Firstly, there are not so many examples which proved successful. Secondly, even target programs on their development sometimes fail.
What are incentives for the university executive management? What enhances focusing the university on research work? What financial structure facilitates research work at best? Is financial structure interconnected with the incentives for the university executive management? How the faculty recruiting process should be organized to build up a high-profile research team?
