Adaptation of the Russian postgraduate school model to the modern conditions of the digital economy

Abstract

* The article was prepared based on the results of research performed within the framework of the state task of the Russian Research Institute of Economics, Politics and Law in Science and Technology (RIEPL) for 2019, the project "Analysis of tools to identify and support talented youth and build a successful career in science, technology and innovation in Russia and abroad" (No. 26.13349.2019/13.1). AbstractThis article is devoted to the analysis of the existing and design of an improved model of Russian postgraduate studies in the context of digitalization, including in the economics sector. The main part of the article describes the completed stage of the study, which is theoretical. The implementation of this stage is based on the analysis of scientific publications on the selected problem. A comparative analysis of the Russian and foreign postgraduate model for its compliance with the conditions of digitalization was performed. It was found that foreign postgraduate education more fully meets the requirements of the digital economy, since it is characterized by a more relevant selection of intellectually gifted young people; more flexible and adaptive organization of training; greater focus on the achievement of a scientific result by a postgraduate student. The study of publications on the problems of digitalization, as well as the current Russian and foreign postgraduate models, allowed us to make a hypothesis of the principles of designing an improved model of Russian postgraduate studies in the context of achieving its compliance with the requirements of digitalization. It is planned to test this hypothesis at the empirical stage of research, the characteristics of which are presented in this article. Keywordsdigital economy, Russian postgraduate school, international postgraduate school, scientific training of postgraduate students, designing a new model of postgraduate school. I.
