This document discusses the future of higher education in Russia through 2030. It notes trends toward a more digital and distant model of education, and proposes creating a Virtual University as an educational portal and e-library to help transition away from the current industrial-era model. The document also analyzes key challenges for Russian higher education, such as a lack of alignment with socio-economic needs. Experts were surveyed and proposed scenarios around how higher education could support either a cognitive society, modernization efforts, or a more resource-based economy. The creation of a Virtual University is presented as a way to help address these challenges.
