Abstract: Background.This article examines the evaluation of multilateral cultural projects, which is relevant in today’s sociocultural and political context. The subject of this analysis is the cultural projects of the BRICS group. Although the Russian Federation has a methodology for evaluating cultural projects (the Presidential Cultural Initiatives Fund - PKFI), there is no methodology for expert evaluation of many factors that consider the goals of BRICS cultural projects. Purpose.To identify the key components in the expert appraisal of multilateral BRICS projects in the sphere of culture. Materials and methods.This article analyzes various methods and the entire expert appraisal of cultural projects. It identifies many details of BRICS cultural projects based on an analysis of BRICS documents and declarations and presents the components of the expert appraisal of BRICS cultural projects. The article’s scientific novelty lies in the proposed components of an expert assessment of BRICS cultural projects, which can be used in future methodology. Results.It has been established that potential cultural projects are niche in nature and that the scope of their impact on the BRICS population is limited. The proposed expert assessment components are necessary to overcome contentious issues in the process of reviewing multicultural projects for compliance with BRICS values and goals. This is a key management indicator, identifying strengths and weaknesses, as well as opportunities for developing intercultural dialogue both between different BRICS countries and with other countries. Practical implications.The research results can be applied to developing methodologies for expert assessment of the effectiveness of cultural projects implemented by BRICS agreements, as well as to formulating the basis for a unified cultural policy for the alliance, considering its cultural governance structure, based on the principle of diversity in unity.
