In the 1920–1930s the Ural industries and regional authorities were in need of qualified economists and engineers, which resulted in establishing in Ekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk) its own university, technical institutes, and the Ural Branch of the USSR Academy of Science. The article reveals the reasons of failures in technical institutes’ development and the mistakes in training of economic specialists. The educational organizations and scholarly institutions faced the lack of funding from national and local authorities, whose intention was to make the process cheaper and faster, which resulted in disrupting operation of technical institutes and decreasing the quality of the students’ training. Such attitude on the part of the authorities became the crucial factor for the crises of higher education in the city. Poor communication with the local industry, ideologically based restrictions in teaching of economic disciplines, as well as separate reporting lines of technical institutes, higher education establishments and scholarly institutions also negatively affected the situation. The article proves that the best solution for the city could have been establishing a single research and education center at the State University, which was the original intention of its foundation in 1920. The lack of funding and inconsistent policy of the national and local authorities have led to abandoning the initial program of the university development. Only in 2019, they returned to the program at a new level, when they started to establish a research and education cluster at the Ural Federal University.

The article examines the process of transformation of Ukrainian universities into centers of community transformation in the conditions of decentralization on the example of Mariupol State University (MSU). The conditions in which MSU operates after 2014-2015 are considered. The defining directions of the university development that influence the development of the community are analyzed, in particular: the work of the educational center "Donbass-Ukraine" MSU, research, implementation of international research projects of the university, training of foreign students. The contribution of Mariupol City Council and Donetsk Regional State Administration to the development of MSU is analyzed. The article draws the following conclusions: firstly, modern Ukrainian universities in the context of decentralization are becoming centers of community transformation. Secondly, in 2014–2015, the universities of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts found themselves in completely new conditions. Three universities have moved to Mariupol (8 in total today), competition between the institutions of higher education has increased enormously, as the number of graduates is about 2,000 each year, there is an outflow of students from MSU, including foreign ones, international contacts, trips and events have been limited. Thirdly, in an effort to ensure transparency of governance and attract financial resources for development from international institutions, the city develops and implements strategies for its development. Universities actively provide the necessary scientific and professional expertise in the preparation of such documents. The example of Mariupol also shows that universities are given an important part of the Strategy to increase the number of foreign students, increase the number of students to 10% of the population, develop the material and technical base of the institutions of higher education, and create conditions for the most talented graduates to stay in Mariupol. The implementation of these provisions ultimately provides additional revenues to the city budget, training of highly qualified specialists for the economy of the city and region, attracting the results of scientific research of university scientists for the needs of the city and region and more. The implementation of these provisions ultimately provides additional revenues to the city budget, training of highly qualified specialists for the economy of the city and region, attracting the results of scientific research of university scientists for the needs of the city and region and more. Fourthly, MSU, in its new environment, has transformed threats into opportunities by making community development and transformation one of its main tasks. These issues were included in the MSU Development Strategy until 2025. Fifthly, the defining areas of university development that affect the development of the community, including socio-economic, its transformation, contribute to the reintegration of the occupied territories is the work of the educational center "Donbass-Ukraine" MSU, research, scientific support of police power and local government, international university projects, training of foreign students. The university also serves as a base for important international, socio-political forums, conferences, etc., which help to attract attention to the city and the region, attract investment, international expertise and more. Sixthly, the university today performs many functions and offers many opportunities. In addition, one of the most valuable is the opportunity for dialogue with everyone. Moreover, this is what is needed to solve the problem of reintegration and development of the region. Seventhly, the Mariupol City Council and the Donetsk Regional State Administration, recognizing the role of the university in the socio-economic, socio-political development of the territories, the transformation of communities in every way contributes to the activities of MSU.

Education like others spheres of life of modern society is in the state of dynamic changes. New formats of universities as well as their missions and roles in the social and economic development are actively discussed by professional environment. A number of external and internal factors that determine the depth and scale of transformation have effects on the development of the system of higher education. The system of higher education is under the influence of the system and institutional dynamics, which dictate the need for changes. The activity of universities as centers of education, science and culture is one of the most important bases of social progress. This role becomes especially important in XXI century, which is based on new knowledge and principles of technological development. First of all a university takes new features in the current conditions of globalization. The fundamental task that needs to be solved in order to achieve the goals of a modern University is the change of meanings, goals and content of education by active participation in the internationalization processes of the system of higher education and by introducing reforms in educational process. Of course new economic conditions (global market and information technologies) require modifications. It was stated that the commercialization of University innovations in Azerbaijan is a relatively new direction, since the country is just adopts the path of an innovative economy. In this regard the transformation of a scientific idea to a product or a service faces a number of difficulties. It was investigated the problem of commercialization of the results of scientific activities of higher educational institutions in Azerbaijan.

This chapter examines two U.S. four-year public universities, the Pennsylvania State University World Campus and the University of Oklahoma Outreach, that have successfully developed online adult education system/programs for adults. Using the principles of effectiveness for serving adult learners, the integrated review reveals not only how they advance online higher education environment for adults, but the types of challenges they have. Key findings highlight that, under a strong tradition of distance education, “self-assessment system,” “financial independence,” and “diverse active supports for life and career planning” play a critical role in increasing the academic engagement and retention of adult students. However, they also have several challenges: “high tuition rates and limited scholarship options,” “monitoring students' experience,” “learning outcome assessment,” and “commitment of faculty members.” The authors close with practical/academic implications and future research agendas.

This paper investigated the travel patterns of 1.7 million shared E-scooter trips from April 2018 to February 2019 in Austin, TX. There were more than 6000 active E-scooters in operation each month, generating over 150,000 trips and covered approximately 117,000 miles. During this period, the average travel distance and operation time of E-scooter trips were 0.77 miles and 7.55 min, respectively. We further identified two E-scooter usage hotspots in the city (Downtown Austin and the University of Texas campus). The spatial analysis showed that more trips originated from Downtown Austin than were completed, while the opposite was true for the UT campus. We also investigated the relationship between the number of E-scooter trips and the surrounding environments. The results show that areas with higher population density and more residents with higher education were correlated with more E-scooter trips. A shorter distance to the city center, the presence of transit stations, better street connectivity, and more compact land use were also associated with increased E scooter usage in Austin, TX. Surprisingly, the proportion of young residents within a neighborhood was negatively correlated with E-scooter usage.
