The article is devoted to the analysis of the prospects for the development of educational programs aimed at training lawyers in the field of megascience projects. Legal support of megascience projects involves legal support of intellectual resources and protection of the results of intellectual activity, legal regulation of financing of these projects, international legal regulation of scientific and technical cooperation, legal support of cyber security, information-law (including anti-defamation) support of media security of these projects, etc. The authors consider the model of educational training of lawyers for megascience projects in the paradigm of interconnection and interdependence of innovative social relations, science, and education. R&D intensity (knowledge-intensity) of educational training of lawyers in the field of megascience is justified and considered as a feature that is no less significant than practice-orientedness (applied directedness), ensuring not only the short-term competitiveness of educational products, but also their long-term and stable prospects due to the incorporation of the latest cutting-edge R&D achievements into education. The authors suggest a term ‘innovative programs for forward-looking areas’ and analyze their capacity for legal support of megascience projects (the current innovative programs implemented at Kutafin University (MSAL) and the MSAL scientific projects that can be the basis for new educational programs). The authors consider the principles for the implementation of innovative programs for forward-looking areas: fundamentality and practice-orientedness (including the institution of ‘community of practice’ and the mentoring institution), R&D intensity, networking, meta-learning etc.
The collective monograph is an anniversary edition dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSLA), and reflects the vision of the modern model of legal education, analysis and forecasting of trends in the development of higher education based on the traditions of fundamental legal education and innovative practices accumulated by the University.
For scientific and pedagogical workers, administrative and managerial personnel of educational organizations that train lawyers, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in innovations in the field of education.
