A comparative study of SCO and BRICS university unions’ development models

Abstract

There are three universities in which China and Russia participate as important member countries in the existing regional international education alliance. They are the SCO University based on SCO, the BRICS Universities League (BRICS UL) and the BRICS Network University established by the BRICS countries. The SCO University, BRICS UL and the BRICS Network University are important mechanisms for the multilateral cooperation between the SCO and the BRICS countries. They have their own development models and characteristics. This paper reveals the background and main cooperation modes of the three universities, points out their main problems and proposes future development strategies.
