Выборку (n = 15) составили эксперты, которые занимаются, во-первых, проблемными исследованиями международных отношений, во-вторых, регионоведческими и страноведческими исследованиями, в-третьих, исследованиями науки, технологий и инноваций. Результаты анализа данных экспертных интервью показали, что ключевыми вызовами для реализации научной дипломатии в формате БРИКС являются отсутствие общей повестки научных взаимодействий, содержательно размытые представления ученых друг о друге, нехватка финансовых ресурсов. При этом потенциал объединения может позволить преодолеть эти проблемы. В пространстве БРИКС существуют политико-правовая рамка для осуществления научной дипломатии, площадки научного общения, институт финансирования инфраструктурных проектов. Соответственно, для развития научной дипломатии в рамках объединения, согласно данным экспертных интервью, возможно найти и утвердить направления общего интереса, распространить среди ученых больше знания о национальных научных культурах друг друга, активизировать роль Нового банка развития в финансировании совместных научно-исследовательских инициатив. Научная дипломатия основывается на диалектике сотрудничества и конкуренции, и конкретизация вопросов общего интереса может обеспечить согласование между ними практике научной дипломатии в формате объединения, а укрепление неформальных связей между учеными, в свою очередь, может поспособствовать улучшению взаимопонимания в целом между странами БРИКС на социетальном уровне.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This article presents the results of an empirical study conducted through expert interviews which purpose was to identify the challenges and prospects of science diplomacy within BRICS. The sample (n = 15) included experts engaged in international relations studies, regional and country studies, science, diplomacy and innovation studies. An analysis of the empirical data revealed that the key challenges to implementing science diplomacy within BRICS are a lack of common agenda for scientific interactions, vague social representations of scientists about each other, a lack of resources. At the same time, the association has certain potential to respond to these challenges. BRICS has science diplomacy political and legal framework, scientific communication platforms, development finance institution. According to expert interviews, prospects for developing science diplomacy within the association include identifying and establishing areas of common interest, furthering scientists’ understanding of each other’s national scientific cultures, enhancing the New Development Bank’s role in funding joint research initiatives. Science diplomacy is based on cooperation and competition dialectics. Specifying issues of common interest can ensure a balance between them in the practice of science diplomacy within the association. Strengthening informal ties between scientists can contribute to mutual understanding among BRICS countries at the societal level.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>научная дипломатия</kwd><kwd>БРИКС</kwd><kwd>международное объединение</kwd><kwd>проблемы</kwd><kwd>перспективы развития</kwd><kwd>экспертные интервью</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>science diplomacy</kwd><kwd>BRICS</kwd><kwd>international association</kwd><kwd>challenges</kwd><kwd>prospects</kwd><kwd>expert interviews</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Белоконев, С.Ю., Евгеньева, Т.В., Титов, В.В., Усманова, З.Р.
