Abstract:
The article deals with the transformation of higher education institutions, changes in their mission and activities within the transition to knowledge-based society and the formation of an innovative economy. The article aims at determining the development features and criteria for the educational environment of a university within the country’s transition to an innovative economy. The actual value of the study lies in the fact that it deals with the evolutionary transformation of modern universities to new generation universities. This transformation is to change their models, namely: from the academic university model (University 1.0), whose mission is education (quality training), to the innovative-active model of a research university (University 2.0), whose mission is education and research (generation of knowledge and technology); and finally, to the model of an entrepreneurial university (University 3.0), whose mission is education, research, entrepreneurship (commercialization of knowledge and technology generation). Transformation of the university is impossible without the development of its educational environment. The research results in revealing the conceptual development features of the educational environment in various models of an innovative university (academic, research and business universities) by components: value-oriented, subjective, content-related and methodical, informational, organization and activity-related, spatial and subject. To determine the state and purpose of developing the educational environment at a university, the key criteria for the development of a new generation university and the educational environment of academic, research, and business universities are proposed. The key criteria for the development of the innovative university and its educational environment are developed by components: the mission of the new generation university, the quality of development goals, processes, conditions, and results. Prospects for further research in this direction are: to develop instruments for diagnosing and modelling the development of the educational environment in higher education establishments within the transition to an innovative economy.

Keywords: components of the innovatively active educational environment, educational environment of the university, innovative economy, innovatively active university, key criteria for the development of the innovatively active educational environment of the new ge
