The statistics of research funding are reviewed, the experience of organizing research activities in Russian universities is summarized, and a model of its system support is proposed by the university itself. It is stated that in university science there is a “customer crisis”: the demand of the business sector does not provide the necessary volume of large and long-term orders for scientific research and studies rely mainly on the state budget. Organizational measures are proposed for a gradual transition from teaching to research with step-by-step confirmation of productivity: the creation of a new university subject – a “scientific unit” consisting of two or more employees, regardless of their academic title, with administrative rights and corresponding responsibility.

The Great Patriotic War left a deep mark in the history of our country. The higher school, in particular, Ivanovo agricultural Institute, did not become an exception. This article considers the main milestones in the institute’s life in the period of the war, shows the directions of its scientific activity, provides statistical data on the number of students, graduates and teachers of the Institute who worked and studied in it. The study showed that the university not only retained its enrolment, but also managed to increase it by opening a new veterinary faculty. Despite the difficult conditions of wartime, research activities of Ivanovo agricultural Institute have increased markedly, and the connection of university science with industry has become even closer. The war certainly affected the educational process as well. Some buildings were transferred to hospitals. Classes were held in two shifts. The period of study was reduced to three years. However, such difficulties did not affect the quality of graduates’ training and their importance for the country. The staff and students of Ivanovo agricultural Institute took an active part in the labor front, bringing the Victory closer by their activities. A special part of the article is devoted to biographical notes about frontline teachers, who fought bravely at the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. This is S.K. Voita - Director of Ivanovo agricultural Institute in 1939-1941, N.I. Belonosov - Rector of Ivanovo agricultural Institute in 1961-1974, V.K. Baluyev - Vice-Rector of the Scientific Department, Dean of the zootechnical faculty, I.P. Skurikhin - Vice-Rector on Educational and Scientific Work, Dean of the agronomy faculty and other teachers of the institute.

Personnel potential is the most important indicator of the efficiency of each university. The relevance of the issue of the quality of training and work of scientific and pedagogical personnel is confirmed by the new challenges faced by the higher education system during the pandemic and the associated transition to a distance learning format. Thanks to the faculty, most Russian universities were able to timely restructure their training courses, adapt to new conditions, and prepare students for intermediate and final certification. Teachers of SUSU showed a high result in mastering new ways of organizing work, demonstrating professionalism and competence in a crisis situation. The remote format of work, the transition to which was unscheduled and forced, revealed new qualitative characteristics of the personnel potential of Russian universities. For the state, criteria for determining the quality of higher school workers were formed back in the Soviet era. Among the universities of Chelyabinsk that were actively engaged in research activities during the study period, the Chelyabinsk Polytechnic Institute should be distinguished. The article analyzes the main directions of formation and functioning of personnel potential of PSI. Contradictions of the specified period in the work of the teaching staff of the higher school are revealed. The effectiveness of the state policy for the development of university science is analyzed, imbalances in the functioning of the personnel potential of technical departments and the peculiarities of the work of structural divisions of the university related to the teaching of social sciences are characterized.

The object of the research is the scientific potential of the modern university, and the subject is the system of social factors of its formation. The purpose of the study is to identify the role of social factors in the development of the scientific potential of the modern university. The methodological basis of the paper is a system-dynamic approach to the study of scientific potential, which consists in the consistent disclosure of its spatial, temporal and technological components. Within the framework of the first component, it is necessary to emphasize such a little-studied aspect as the social foundations of scientific potential, including the system of values of employees and students of the university, their motivation to engage in scientific activity and the level of prestige of scientific activity at the university. The components of the scientific potential of the modern university have been analysed in the article. In particular, the close interrelation of the specified social factors with personnel bases of scientific potential of higher education institution, namely with tendencies of development of its personnel structure has been revealed. A system for assessing the social factors of the scientific potential of the university has been proposed.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. For student youth the process of entering the profession and harmonization of interactions with professional environment and future professional activity is the key moment of life activity. This process, according to the majority of modern researchers, is a certain complexity and contradiction both for students and for higher education institution, as well as social institutions and organizations acting as social customers.METHODS. The study of the process of adaptation of student youth to research and professional activity was carried out on the basis of the Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design. Assessment of students' expectations regarding studies, the level of students' awareness of the future professional and scientific activity was carried out with the help of the University Hackathon Ecosystem toolkit. Processing of the obtained results of the survey was carried out on the basis of the "Methodology of research of students' adaptability to dual education in higher education". The methodology includes two scales: adaptability to professional activity and adaptability to research activity.FINDINGS. The following directions of training are distinguished: professional, social and research, as well as stages of adaptation to professional training: learning identification, learning-professional activation, professional-value reflection. Integration of these directions allows us to organize activities that ensure formation of necessary professionally important qualities (competences) in students (graduates), agreed with potential employers and demanded by the corresponding profession. The conducted experiment on the basis of Hackathon-ecosystem of the university was carried out taking into account the directions of training and their corresponding adaptation criteria: professional direction – activity-result and motivation-value criteria; humanitarian – communication-professional criterion; research – personal-creative criterion.CONCLUSION. Students' adaptation to future professional and research activities can be defined as one of the most urgent social problems at the pre-production stage. This is due to the fact that the student spends one of the main periods of his life in a higher education institution, since it is at this time he is formed as a professional and as a person, masters the necessary competencies in order to achieve a certain professional and research level. At this stage the professional intentions of the individual and the requirements of the profession come into alignment, i.e. there is an adaptation to professional and research activities.

The evaluation of the companies’ performance at University Science Parks (SPs) becomes essential in identifying the needs of the companies and the feasibility of the University-Business Collaboration (ubc). The companies’ real needs are also of interest for universities and SPs, since they face the challenge of designing strategies that best help them to transfer knowledge more effectively. This research article focuses on Key Performance Indicators (kpis) in ubc, needs and business objectives of companies co-located at SPs in Spain and Mexico. This article (i) aims to identify the kpis in ubc used by co-located companies at SPs, and (ii) explore the kpis in ubc and critical success factors of SPs. This article focuses on the perspective of companies, with a secondary focus on the perspectives of SPs and universities. For this study, data was collected through online company surveys in Spain and Mexico. Moreover, the empirical analysis uses fourteen semi-structured interviews addressed to SPs directors to explore kpis in ubc and success factors of SPs in both countries. In addition, two frameworks were developed with the main kpis in ubc, taking into account university and company perspectives. They show the objectives, strategies and long-term kpis as well as progress kpis, and they are a useful guide to evaluate the accomplishments and the alignment of goals in ubc.

Purpose of the study: Justification of the factors of effectiveness in managing publication productivity on the example of Russian universities. Specifically, this research focuses on Russia’s universities’ important role in the publication productivity development in these universities. Methodology: The study’s methodological basis incorporated multivariate statistical analysis, clustering, and multifactor regression modeling. The methods used for aggregation and data transformation were graph theory and questionnaires. Main findings: This research proved that the quality, not quantity, of Russian university scientific publications, contributes to their increased citations, which appears to influence determining a useful model for university publication productivity management. It also established that the fundamental factors of effective Russian university publication productivity management are an increase in the number of young teachers with academic degrees and the popularization of science as a prestigious sphere of professional activity in Russia. Study applications: A reasonable system of factors may become the core for determining the priorities and unique mechanisms of transition from extensive to intensive development of publication productivity in Russian universities, taking into account individual characteristics of their research activities. This measure will prove beneficial to increasing the scientific potential of respective universities, which will, in turn, contribute to better ensuring the publication flow of quality research papers in universities. Study novelty/originality: This study’s originality lies in providing an empirical assessment of university publication productivity factors, which enabled a more precise method to determine the most reliable balance between scientific publications’ quality and quantity. This balance also resulted in increased citations and stimulated Russian universities’ scientific activity.

At present, a new stage of reforming postgraduate studies as the third stage of higher education has been identified. All measures taken by the state are aimed at increasing the number of defenses of dissertations for the degree of candidate of sciences at the end of graduate school. However, the percentage of PhD graduates who have defended their dissertations has been steadily declining every year. +e purpose of the study is to identify the problems of research activities of graduate students of Russian universities and propose ways to solve them. +e following methods were used to collect data: analysis of official documents, online survey and free interview. 386 postgraduate students from 42 Russian universities took part in the survey. As a result of the study, the main problems of research activities of postgraduate students of Russian universities were identified: low performance of postgraduate studies (in 2019, only 10,5% of graduate students defended their dissertations); lack of necessary resources (financial, material and technical, etc.) for conducting empirical research, experiment, this problem is especially relevant for representatives of technical specialties; low publication activity of graduate students; insufficient support of the research activities of graduate students by the scientific supervisor, the graduate department and other structures of the university; the need to combine work with graduate school; insufficient level of financial support for research activities of graduate students from the state and the university; lack of the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities among postgraduates to carry out research activities and write a dissertation for the degree of candidate of sciences; problems in the organization of the educational process in graduate school. Based on the results of the study, proposals were made that can contribute to solving the identified problems in the selection of graduate students, the development of the educational component of postgraduate programs, state final attestation, publication activity and financial support for graduate students.

The report examines the peculiarities of bilingualism of the outstanding Russian-American sociologist Pitirim Sorokin (1898–1968) based on his archival working materials from the University of Saskatchewan (Canada). The purpose of the study is to identify and explain the linguistic features of his scientific thinking in connection with the conditions of translinguism. Based on the material of Pitirim Sorokin’s working notes, the features of his work on the creation of the book “Contemporary Sociological Theories” (1928) are considered. Correspondences between the preparatory notes and the final text of the book are established. The specifics of translingual practices in the scientific activity of a scientist are revealed. Archival manuscripts and notes allow you to trace not only the process of changing the language and switching codes. The use of a mixed meta-language by Pitirim Sorokin in the work on the preparatory materials of the book has been established. At the same time, a functional distribution of language codes is revealed. Russian language is a working tool of scientific thinking, planning and management of research activities.
