Benefits of international partnerships for international students recruitment

The paper highlights the best practices of European and Russian universities in academic mobility implementation within the European Commission initiatives in the field of education. Implementation of European experience for introduction of new approaches in international student's recruitment in Russian universities is analyzed at institutional and national level (based on the expertise of National Erasmus+ Office in Russian Federation). The authors conclude that along with evident benefits of partnerships some widely used European practices are not sufficiently utilized by Russian universities.
