The paper considers the issue of scientific and industrial interaction between higher educational institutions and industrial enterprises of the region. On the example of Orenburg State University it is shown that large regional universities saved up sufficient scientific potential to carry out necessary research for enterprises and fulfill a function of branch-wise research institutes. The currently existing forms of collaboration between enterprises and universities are specified, the integration project model "University-Science-Industry" is proposed. This model will allow students to pass all stages of innovation process during the study: research development, prototypes,and commercialization of intellectual results. The need for involvement of executive authorities with integration of science and industry is emphasized; establishment of regional coordinating center is justified, as well its functions and objectives are described.
