Abstract

Starting with the first set of sanctions in 2014, Russia has slowed down the development of international cooperation. In 2022 Western countries imposed restrictions on any institutional interaction with all Russian scientific organizations, including universities. In fact, joint research was terminated and informal contacts remained only at the level of individual scientists. Given the new conditions, the problems of “brain drain” and the provision of the research process – from the purchase of equipment to access to scientific information – have become more acute again, which necessitates the search for ways to keep university science involved in the world. Based on the analysis of recent trends and the current situation in the field of international scientific cooperation, the paper proposes directions for maintaining international relations of Russian universities. These are the creation of mirror laboratories, interaction with representatives of the diaspora, as well as attracting foreign scientists to participate, in varying capacities, in Russian scientific journals.
