Summary/Abstract: This article offers a brief overview and analysis of the educational initiatives that emerged in Belarus during the early decades of the 21st century, which aimed to revise and propose alternative models of university education. These initiatives sought to bring an innovative component to the Belarusian educational space, making the university project more global while simultaneously maintaining a strong national orientation. The text reflects on the successes and failures along this path and describes the attempt to create a new national university project for Belarus abroad, with the goal of its future relocation to a free and democratic Belarus. The main question of the study was the extent to which existing university initiatives, as well as previously implemented projects, correspond to the status of a National university. An attempt is also made to analyze the new project of the Belarusian Research University named after Vałovič as one that claims the specified role at the current time.
