Markers of Modern University Education in the Transition to an Innovative Economy

Abstract

The article actualizes the problems associated with the transformation of university education under the influence of modern socio-economic factors. It was revealed that at present university education is based on a combination of scientific, innovative and educational activities, the balance of which determines the role of the university in socio-economic development. Markers of modern university education are highlighted, which can be considered institutional "isomorphism" in higher education, the antinomy of education, large-scale online learning and the strengthening of the role of the university as an institution of the socio-economic system of a region (city). It is shown that "national" specificity of the development of the educational system is the leading role of the state as the main actor in educational policy. The question is raised about the formation of a network of "flagship" universities and their role in the development of the regional economy.
