These are completely new institutions, not updated or reorganized. They strive for academic and research perfection - and achieve it. This book discusses examples of eight such universities and outlines the lessons that can be taken out of their experience. The author of each case is a specialist who participated in the development of a new university at an early stage and able to evaluate it from the position of a managerial employee. “Accelerated universities” demonstrate that wise leadership combined with generous financing and innovative ideas leads to impressive results in a fairly short time. The book is indispensable for universities striving to recognize the world level.
