Title:  Formation of Leading Universities: the Russian Approach
Abstract:  At the government level, an objective was set to secure a place for a few Russian universities in the world’s best top list by 2020 by means of increasing considerably their budget financing. International experience points to importance of a combination of a few key factors for a university to be a leading one with the factor of funding being only one of them. The Russian approach should be adjusted towards expansion of the number of measures and go beyond the limits of quantitative and financial parameters alone in measuring achievement of that goal.
