Annotation: It has been established that the future of higher education organizations is associated with the forming of edu- cational ecosystems. However, the scientific literature has not yet defined either the content of the concept of “educational ecosystem” or the criteria of an educational ecosystem. The purpose of this study is to identify and determine the criteria of educational ecosystems that are currently being formed on the basis of leading universities and global educational centers. To solve this problem, the study uses the method of studying scientific literature (descriptive method, apperception method), conducts a review of official websites, strategies and development programs of the world’s leading universities and educational centers presented on them, summarizes the trends in the development of higher education reflected in analytical reports of international organizations. Based on the results of the study, the criteria of the educational ecosystem were established, reflecting the key areas of activity of educational organizations, which, with the proper “superstructure” of the supporting infrastructure, allow achieving a synergistic effect from such a reorganization. The results obtained contribute to the development of the ecosystem approach in higher education due to a deeper understanding of the etymology of the concept of the educational ecosystem and a clearly defined outline.
