International Universities of Global Problems
Global Problems are very complicated. It
is not possible to decompose any global problem into its component
parts, which are not connected or they have “weak”
links with each other. Such problem has to be solved as one
and indivisible.
For solving of global problem it is necessary
to have experts with a basic knowledge in many fields of science
and technology. It is obvious that in this case it is expedient
to allocate two stages during training of experts for solving
of global problems.
The expert has to obtain a knowledge in specialized
field and to be awarded the Degree of the Ph.D. He has to
obtain a thorough knowledge in many fields and to be awarded
the Degree of the Grand Ph.D.
To train experts for the Ph.D. and the Grand
Ph.D. it is suggested a new type of educational body - the
University of Global Problems – UGP.
Those Universities are constructed on the
principle of “distributed enterprise or distributed
institution” and by type of Platon Academy.
Distributed Institution is an aggregate of
operator’s positions disposed in the far distance and
connected together with help of means of communication.
The operator’s position is a computing
system, adopted for processing, storage and exchange of information.
The operator’s position is adjusted to a want of user
and it is his private property. Operator’s positions
are connected by a communication system.
The communication system may be the Internet
on the first stage, which is adapted to fulfill the pair exchanges.
On second stage it may be used the Distributed Computing System,
which fulfills the pair and system [ or group ] exchanges.
As a technology will be perfected the operator’s positions
will; be portable and the distributed institution will be
converted into a mobile distributed computing system.
The system of exchanging of information or
the communication system is a property of all users or of
some company.
The model of distributed institution is built
on the principles:
of homogeneity of its elements and its links,
of variability of its logical structure,
of parallel methods of exchange and processing of information.
So then the FIRST peculiarity of University of Global Problems
is an utilization of the model of distributed institution
as a basis for a technical implementation.
The SECOND more important peculiarity of
those Universities consists in an application of model of
Platon Academy.
Orientation toward using of outstanding scientists,
prominent scholars, well-known public figures, enlisting the
services of progressive owners and using of model of distributed
institution is a real foundation to create the universities
for training of experts to solve global problems. The University
of Global Problems as a kernel of Global Education System
does not enter any contradiction with existing Universities.
The outline of training of experts named
“from top to bottom”is accepted as a basis in
the UGP. The outstanding persons participated in solving of
global problems help to train experts for the Degree of the
Grand Ph.D. Then professors having the Grand Ph.D. degree
train experts for the Ph.D. and at last professors with Ph.D.
degree train experts for the M.S.
The using of model of the UGP in a System
of Education gives an essential saving of expense. The value
of capital investment is determined by cost of the professor
operator’s position and by the cost of employee operator’s
positions, number of the last is essentially smaller by comparison
with the ordinary universities. The UGP does not need of university’s
buildings, of laboratories, of library’s buildings,
of university’s hostels. The cost of expense to pay
a salary is also cut down.
In case of using of the UGP it should be
expected the large-scale increase of the effectiveness in
training of experts to solve global problems, because of presence
of possibility to enlist the service of professors with the
Grand Ph.D. , accumulated the experience to solve the global
problems . The distributed structure of the UGP permits to
connect up the operator’s position of every outstanding
person, who wishes to take part in training of experts for
solving of global problems.
The UGP has a characteristic of ”vitality”
too. The UGP is the important element of Global Education
System.
