“…In another-Quadruple Helix-model, researchers assume that society also plays an important role in the innovation process, along with science, business and state, and impacts the creation of knowledge and technology at different levels of institutional, regional and operational functionality. Research from Russia for the period of 2008-2014 confirmed the indirect impact (through the development of a "knowledge space") of academic education on the level of socioeconomic development, and on the relationship between the index of scientific-technological potential of the region and the size of the gross regional product per capita (Kurbatova and Kagan, 2017).…”

MIGAL – Galilee Research Institute is a regional R&amp;D center in the northeast peripheral region of Israel. An internationally recognized applied research institute, MIGAL specializes in biotechnology and computational sciences, plant sciences, precision agriculture and environmental sciences, as well as food, nutrition and health. Most of MIGAL’s researchers serve as the core faculty at Tel Hai Academic College (TH). Despite the country’s small surface area, socioeconomic inequality in Israel is high by OECD standards, with wage differences between rich and poor regions reaching up to 400%. The aims of this study are to identify possible socioeconomic impacts of MIGAL–TH on the peripheral northeast’s development. We discuss the effects of academic research and institutions of higher education on mitigating differences between the center and periphery of the country. Data for MIGAL, TH and the northeastern peripheral region were collected from the yearly reports of the two institutions and the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics. MIGAL was found to serve as a link between research, academic teaching and socioeconomic development in the northeast periphery. Several variables related to this link and describing MIGAL–TH and northeastern periphery development were analyzed over time: MIGAL’s budget, total number of employees and number of employees with PhDs; number of TH graduate students; socioeconomic index (SEI) of the northeastern periphery and its position on the Israeli list of regional SEIs. The signs and significance levels of their trends indicate a potential socioeconomic impact of academic research and higher education on peripheral development in the northeast of the country. Research budgets and the creation of jobs for academics living in the region are just a few examples of this impact.

The aims of this study are to identify possible socioeconomic impacts of MIGAL (Galilee Research Institute) and TH (Tel Hai Academic College) on the peripheral northeast’s development. We discuss the effects of academic research and institutions of higher education on mitigating differences between the center and the periphery of the country. MIGAL is a regional R&D center in the northeast peripheral region of Israel. An internationally recognized applied research institute, MIGAL specializes in biotechnology, computational sciences, plant sciences, precision agriculture, and environmental sciences, as well as food, nutrition, and health. Most of MIGAL’s researchers serve as the core faculty at TH. Despite the country’s small surface area, socioeconomic inequality in Israel is high by OECD standards, with wage differences between rich and poor regions reaching up to 400%. In this article, a new type of dataset for the study of the socioeconomic impact of academic research and higher education on peripheral development is proposed—the regional socioeconomic indices (SEIs). Data for MIGAL, TH, and the northeastern peripheral region were collected from the yearly reports of the two institutions and the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics. MIGAL was found to serve as a link between research, academic teaching, and socioeconomic development in the northeast periphery. Several variables related to this link and describing MIGAL–TH and northeastern periphery development were analyzed over time: MIGAL’s budget, total number of employees and number of employees with PhDs; number of TH graduate students; and the socioeconomic index (SEI) of the northeastern periphery and its position on the Israeli list of regional SEIs. The signs and significance levels of most of the trends indicate a potential socioeconomic impact of academic research and higher education on peripheral development in the northeast of the country. Research budgets and the creation of jobs for academics living in the region are just a few examples of this impact. The results of the study are useful for academics and policymakers in improvement of the contribution of academic research and higher education to the country’s economic and innovation development.

“…Understanding that higher education is an integral part of the country's competitive advantages leads to a meaningful change by the renewal of the higher education system. As it is mentioned in the article [2], "at the first stages of the reforms it was supposed to improve the quality of education by resources concentration in the most competitive universities. As a result of this policy, there has been a significant reduction in regional powers in the field of education and the expansion of federal ones.…”

“…The current priority project "Universities as centers of innovation space" refines the progress of reforms in the sense of promoting the logic of regional development in determining the effectiveness of the Russian education system (see [2]). Moreover, as noted by a number of experts (see, for example, [4]), under these conditions "the need for tools and methods, that allow to manage in an efficient manner various aspects of the university's activities, becomes obvious ".…”

The article is concerned with the methodology of funding of structural university units and project groups, which is aimed at achieving the main performance targets of the higher educational institution effectiveness, as well as at the strategic development programs, including those focused on sustainable and competitive development of the region. The particular methodology is based on a dynamic mathematical model developed in accordance with the principles of normative per capita financing of higher education, the structure of educational curricula, administrative documents of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Strategy for Social and Economic Development of the Region, and relevant statistical data. The implementation of this model allows to create conditions for the financial provision of the basic projects of development programs of the educational institution, such as the "roadmap" or plan of actions of the project "Universities as centers of innovation spaces". The latter, in turn, is the most important requirement for the sustainable and competitive development of the regional economy. The particular model is a natural evolution of the method of normative per capita financing within the state order and represents a significant step forward in the context of the development of a modern system of financial management at the universities.
