Development of scientific and technical potential of universities as a factor of ensuring national economic security
This article discusses the current problems of developing the scientific and technical potential of universities. Special attention is paid to the consideration of this issue from the point of view of ensuring national economic security. The University environment has always been a place of concentration of intellectual potential and a source of new technologies. In the modern world, innovative technologies are becoming the basis for the development of the national economy, and the development of high technologies is the key to successful development. In Russia, in the 1990s, an attempt was made to introduce Technopark structures into the University environment. It is noted that part of the technoparks of the "first wave" continues to exist today. However, in General, the economic efficiency of such structures remains quite low. The article focuses on the study of European experience in the development of innovative potential of universities. It is noted that the active development of the concept of "entrepreneurial University" led to a large-scale educational reform, which lasted for more than thirty years. At the same time, there was an Association of universities, the creation of new structures, including technoparks. He concluded that when reforming universities in the European Union, special attention was paid to the development of innovative infrastructure and the possibility of creating new technologies. There is an understanding of the importance of the University as an element of economic activity, the need for direct interaction between universities and industrial organizations. This interaction has been observed before, but today the degree of its intensity must be raised to a new level. Thus, it is assumed that the task of ensuring national economic security will be solved, since such structures will help to preserve the competitiveness of national economies and create a basis for further socio-economic development.
