MAIN TRENDS OF ACADEMIC MOBILITY DEVELOPMENT IN THE MODERN WORLD
The article analyzes the factors of increasing popularity of academic mobility programs in the modern world. The dynamics of the main indicators that characterize the mobility of students, teachers and researchers, such as the number of students participating in academic exchange programs; the share of foreigners in the total number of students in the state. It is concluded that the countries of the European Union and the Anglo-Saxon world are most active in implementing academic mobility programs. For English-speaking countries, the preferred model for teaching foreign students is the implementation of long-term educational programs. The EU has developed a concept in which a visit to another country for educational purposes can be of a short-term nature. In order for such programs to be more effective, we have proposed a system of ECTS credits that allow for uniform consideration of the amount of knowledge obtained in different educational institutions. Based on the analysis of Russia's place in the market of educational services, the thesis about the need to develop academic mobility programs within the framework of the EEU is substantiated.
