The purpose of the article is to analyse the significance of academic culture for higher education institutions in Ukraine and to substantiate the strategic trends of its development. The research methodology used in the course of scientific research is based on an interdisciplinary approach and includes general scientific methods of systematisation and analysis of the issue under study, which allowed specifying and substantiating strategic approaches to the development of academic culture in the university community. The objectives of the scientific research necessitated the use of an analytical approach, which helped to outline the advantages and disadvantages of the process of introducing academic culture in higher education institutions. The scientific novelty lies in the disclosure of the essence and significance of academic culture in higher education institutions of Ukraine; scientific substantiation of the strategic trends of academic culture policy in the context of motivation and incentives. Conclusions. The development of the academic culture space requires the improvement of a series of factors in the system of higher education institutions: from identifying and proving cases of dishonesty to the use of appropriate tools as methods of punishment. These issues are reflected in the majority of national papers and publications on academic integrity. In order to introduce a high level of academic culture in the university community, the following steps should be taken: to have a clear, effective, and transparent system to support a high level of academic culture in an educational institution; to focus on the capabilities of students rather than on prohibitions, metaphorical restrictions, and intimidation; to synthesise academic culture and learning space through the holistic structure of any educational component.
Key words: higher education institution, academic culture, academic integrity, academic values, student community, system of motivation and incentives.
