Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of improving the legal regu- lation of academic interaction between Russia and Germany in the framework of the Bologna process. The work uses methods of retrospective, statistical, comparative research. The author outlines the key areas regulated by the Bolo - gna Declaration, gives the main characteristics of the regulatory framework for the participation of Russian universities in the Bologna process. The role of the Russian-German scientific and educational partnership in reforming the higher education system in Russia is highlightted. The article considers the regulatory legal acts that form the organizational and legal framework of educational coop - eration between Russia and Germany in the framework of the Bologna process. Insufficiency of the Russian legislative framework, the lack of legal conditions for active academic mobility of students and academic staff are pointed out as a fundamental problem preventing the expansion of academic cooperation between Russia and Germany within the framework of the Bologna process: (1) high requirements for obtaining a student visa (both for Russian and German students); (2) a limited amount of educational exchange programs for students and teachers; (3) lack of funding for educational trips (conferences, internships) abroad; (4) incorrect interpretation and assessment of the Russian qualification “specialist” in the countries of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
