Актуальность обусловлена переосмыслением роли и места университетов в обществе в условиях непредсказуемых изменений. Пересмотр традиционных функций приводит к размыванию четких границ между различными подсистемами общества и к возникновению смешанной функциональности, выход из традиционной узко дисциплинарной парадигмы. Цель статьи состоит в рассмотрении социальных инноваций как ключевой формы актуализации третьей миссии университетов. Рассматривая социальные инновации в вузе в качестве производной функции от его двух изначальных функций образования ипроведения научных исследований, авторы определяют их системные параметры, формирующие идентичность и отличающих их от социальных инноваций в других сферах. Авторами также обобщены имеющиеся в международной практике классификации социальных инноваций и их применимость для категоризации социальных инноваций в университетах, а также сформулированы предложения по проектированию и реализации социальных инноваций в вузе, критерии оценки их эффективности. В рамках предлагаемой авторами концепции приведены примеры социальных инноваций в российских вузах. Методы исследования находятся в рамках сравнительно-аналитической парадигмы и включают в себя методы качественного контент-анализа и элементы социального проектирования. Научная новизнасостоит в выделении социальных инноваций в университетах в отдельную категорию активностей в рамках третьей миссии университетов. Выявленные характеристики социальных инноваций применительно к высшей школе выделяют их из общего многообразия форм социальных инноваций, формируя их идентичность. Важность предлагаемой концепции социальных инноваций на уровне университетов состоит в их вкладе в усиление двух других традиционных миссий высшей школы и их диверсификации в интересах укрепления позиционирования вузов в условиях цифровизации и общей неопределенности общественного развития, приводящей к переосмыслению функций традиционных социальных институтов. Результаты исследования вносят вклад в совершенствование стратегии развития университета и имеют важное прикладное значение для модернизации программ профессионального развития преподавателей и административного персонала вузов. The relevance is due to the rethinking of the role and place of universities in society in the face of unpredictable changes. The rethinking of traditional functions leads to the blurring of clear boundaries between various subsystems of society, and therefore to the emergence of a kind of mixed functionality, a way out of the traditional narrowly disciplinary paradigm. The aim of the article is to explore social innovations as a culmination of the actualization by the universities of their third mission. From the perspective of social innovations at universities as a derivative of their two traditional functions of delivering education and performing research, the authors identify their systems parameters that form their identity and distinguish them from social innovations in other spheres. Internationally recognized classifications of social innovations are explored as well as their applicability to categorizing university social innovations. The authors put forward proposals for designing and implementation of university social innovations, criteria for assessment of their impact. To illustrate the developed concept, the authors present examples of social innovations observed at Russian universities that meet the identified characteristics. Research methods belong to the comparative analytic paradigm and include methods of quality content-analysis and elements of social engineering. Scientific novelty is in the identification of university social innovations as a separate category of activities within the landscape of the third mission of the universities that distinguish them from the multitude of traditional activities in the field of social innovations. The identified properties of social innovations as applied to higher education crystallize their identity in the overall spectrum of social innovations. The relevance of the proposed concept is in their impact on strengthening and diversification of the two other traditional functions of higher education, to consolidate the standing of universities in society in the context of digitalization and of the growing uncertainty of societal development that result in re-thinking the functions of traditional institutes of society. The practical relevance is in the possibility to apply the proposed concept to enhance the development strategy and practices of universities. The material of the article can be used to modernize the professional development courses for university teachers and administrators.

Examined are origins of the scientific and technological revolution (STR). Definitions of globalization and STR are analyzed. The role of Russia in accelerating the process of STR globalization in general and the importance of activities of Leningrad Institute of Physics and Technology for scientific and technological development of Russia in particular are noted. The main directions of STR in the United States at the end of the 19th century (electrical engineering, communications, mechanization, power generators, motors, aviation, automobiles, microbiology, genetics, military equipment) are highlighted. The features of optimizing for the interaction of science and technology with economy through legal means: the US state has improved its legislation in order to have effective legal and financial instruments to stimulate scientific and technological creativity. Mutually beneficial contracts and patents have become great economic importance for the customer and the contractor. Specific functions of higher education in the process of scientific and technical development at the second half of the 19th century are explained. The reasons of the STR globalization are revealed.

Research is one of the substantive functions of Higher Education Institutions. For the promotion, development and strengthening of research, it is necessary the participation of academics, the promotion strategies on the part of the institutions and the investment of the state and federal governments. At the Autonomous University of Nayarit there is a great advance in indicators according to international rankings. From this arises, the need to inquire about the actions that are carried out to achieve it. In this work, the objective is to make known which are the strategies implemented by the institution and analyze the total investment in the last five years. For which a comparison is made of the two main sources of financing: Extraordinary Funds and Patronage Resources. It concludes in a reflection on the institutional strategies applied by the Autonomous University of Nayarit, the behavior of the resources provided by both sources of financing mentioned, and the institutional and federal policies.

Introduction.This article is based on academic results, developed through the pedagogy of sustainable architecture projects in response to the construction of social and human fabric in rural areas. Objectiveto potentiate the identification of problems and needs around rural housing and social cohesion works. Materials and methodsDifferent methods will be used that encourage the active participation of the community, among which are: collective or individual (focus groups, unstructured and semi-structured interviews). Results in the civil engineering program, within the substantive functions of higher education research, teaching and social projection would be strengthened through the project. Discussiontaking into account that there are 56,786 displaced persons in the Cundinamarca region (National Information Network, 2011) to whom a viable solution of resettlement and social reintegration must be found. Conclusions establish a teaching-learning methodology based on problem-based learning, which allows students and teachers to provide real solutions.
