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.
