Abstract

The network activity is not only part and parcel of the modern university, but it also demonstrates the level of its success. There appeared an urgent need for understanding the nature of universities’ network interactions and finding the most effective models of their network cooperation. The article analyzes partnership network communities with higher educational establishments (universities’) participation, which are being actively created nowadays. The conditions for successful network activities of a university in scientific, academic and professional network communities are presented.

Summary

Introduction

The network activity is part and parcel of the modern university, but it demonstrates the level of its success. When analyzing these criteria it is seen that many of them, directly or indirectly, touch different aspects of social and network activities of higher educational establishments. We need to give additional clarification to the thematic story about why actively created formal social network with the university participation demonstrates in practice such a different efficiency of network communication, despite the similarity of their structural bases.
