Modelling the Forms of International Scientific and Educational Cooperation

Abstract

Higher education today is associated with new topics, unthinkable for discussion even a decade ago, related to a new reality in social development that has emerged in the last few years. If so far we have been looking for options on how education can respond to the rapidly evolving high technologies, today we are already looking for opportunities to integrate education into cloud technologies and the creation of artificial intelligence and supercomputers. At first glance, this is a challenge, but seen from the standpoint of the process of consistency and upgrading of knowledge, skills and competencies in recent years, it can be defined as a systematic logical and consistent development. The modernization of higher (and not only higher) education requires a serious rethinking of the models, methods and content of the educational process. The agenda of higher education is related to its technology - digital, remote and information. Universities have well-established procedures and platforms that offer these opportunities and in which it is possible to apply interactive methods of teaching, distance learning and e-learning, with continuous improvement of quality, improvement and adaptation of content and this opportunity existed before our hit the current pandemic by COVID - 19. On a limited scale, only where innovations in teaching were at the appropriate level and the motivation to adapt to the new technology was high enough, their implementation took place. These innovations, despite the support of national institutions responsible for the quality of education, were not widespread. The challenges of these organizational models are serious and range between technical, technological equipment, infrastructure and training of teachers and students - some to teach, others to learn by these methods.
