Abstract
The article proposes an ecosystem approach as the basis of the methodology for de-signing a university educational cluster in an emerging innovative society. The ontology of the development of university educational structures is represented as a self-developing cluster system whose principles of functioning are modeled using the ecosystem approach. The design principles for restructuring the university education system are presented at two levels: the university and its developing structure are modeled as a transdisciplinary cluster system, and the structural and functional dynamics is represented as a self-organizing system that adapts to a changing external environment. The methodology for solving the problem is revealed through key concepts and methods: the goal and purpose of the eco-system, the main activity process, the structure of the ecosystem and its elements, the educational environment, the management system, the product of the ecosystem, as well as the process of formation and self-development of educational structures of the ecosys-tem as a socio-cultural phenomenon.
