Criteria for assessing the international cooperation of a higher educational institution

The article is devoted to an empirical study aimed at preparing effective criteria for assessing the international cooperation of a higher educational institution. As a result of this work, a relatively large number of different indicators are collected and summarized (monitoring), on the basis of which the management of a higher educational institution determines the ways and directions of future development. It is important to understand that a well-developed strategy still needs to be effectively implemented in everyday practice. In this regard, the main purpose of the prepared criteria is, first of all, the development and improvement of adequate indicators, providing objective control over the implementation of the development strategy of international cooperation of a higher educational institution. In modern conditions, this skill is a competitive advantage, as it is by its nature unique and difficult to copy. In the meantime, the use of intangible assets, in contrast to traditional tangible ones, requires the use of other assessment criteria, which highly actualizes the organization and conduct of appropriate empirical research. At the same time, these assessment criteria do not replace the very process of elaboration of a management strategy for the development of international cooperation, but serve only as a tool for its successful implementation, which makes it possible to put into practice the strategic plans of a higher educational institution in a project way, transforming them into the language of operational management.
