The article analyzes the processes of interaction between social institutions of academic science and higher education in contemporary Russia. It is concluded that the main content of the process was the formation of the phenomenon of forced integration, which is understood as a force including of the academic research institutions of the federal and national research universities, to dramatically enhance scientific potential of universities. The author is critical of this experience, offering to find and use other, mutually beneficial ways and forms of integration. According to the author, in the conditions when the global trend is the creation and development of research universities, the main issue for Russia becomes the following one: how most organically and effectively make academic institutions a part of the new university. The path proposed today at the federal level can hardly be considered optimal. The reason is the forceful imposition of a new model with significant damage to the prevailing democratic traditions, scientific productivity and, most importantly, the psychological state of the scientific staff of academic institutions. In our opinion, it is necessary to find new ways, in some cases, some intermediate forms of interaction without drawing power resources for the forceful solving the problems, because the limit of this kind of actions has been exhausted in the reform of science in 2013. The task is to build a new system of relationships, the most advantageous to both parties, while preventing the loss of accumulated experience and scientific groundwork, personnel, material-technical base of academic institutions, at the same time, enhancing to the maximum extent the scientific potential of domestic higher education.
