The article analyzes the features of intercultural communication within international project teams made up with the Academy members. Moreover, it highlights an important role of scientific and educational projects in the system of lifelong learning, which, due to the stability of their results, contribute to the expansion of a new scientific knowledge application at academic institutions in different countries.
