Transboundary Integrator of Postgraduate Education of Formal and Informal Type

Abstract

Digital and other labor market transformations determine the vectors of new trends in the technologies of intellectual integration of international postgraduate education. The authors offer a discussion on the management of post-graduate education "without borders." The authors compare postgraduate education for academic systems and open non-formal systems. International intellectual integration is an element of system integration and all forms of education in individual countries and world regions. The authors invite to the discussion about the relationship between formal, non-formal and informal (according to the UNESCO classification) technologies in postgraduate education. A new trend of intellectual integration in the international development of postgraduate education is a cross-border integrated educational service and the application of the “Chain-integrator” technique. The authors reveal effective steps of intellectual integration for the strategies of international development of postgraduate education for adults and in the administration of international educational projects for advanced training. The authors analyze the use of educational benchmarking, voluntary certification, and also provide examples of international informative projects that have been implemented and gained recognition of the pedagogical community of the world at universities of academic and open informal type. Keywords—intellectual integration, informal approach
