In education, as in many other spheres of life, significant changes are observed as a response to external threats caused by the processes of economic integration and global digitalization of society, new technologies and innovations, new thinking and a new attitude towards the ongoing changes. The economy and society as a whole need cadres -thinking and competent, capable of continuous renewal and reasonable change of their competences and types of activity. This requires progressive teaching methods, practical skills and professional competencies to feel free in the digital world. All this can be clearly seen in modern life and, in turn, leads to a change in the philosophy of modern education for a successful and stable future in the Russian digital economy. In this regard, the university is also changing its role -becoming not so much an educational organization as a full-fledged actor of economic space, an active subject of territorial development. A modern university occupies a leading position not only in the regional educational sphere, but also in the region as a whole, setting the main trends of its industrial, innovative, and cultural development.
