Abstract
In the recent economic history of the country the development of universities took place in difficult conditions: the establishment of the institution of private property, liberalization of prices and falling incomes have caused an outflow of scientific personnel in private business. The subsequent period after the first financial crisis was characterized by the accession of the Russian universities to the Bologna process and increased international cooperation with Western universities. The pressure of state on universities has increased. Introduction of monitoring indicators, a series of mergers and acquisitions have led to prioritizing the implementation of indicators for accreditation and formalization of scientific research. During this difficult period, the digital economy changes the role of higher education as a driver of competitiveness of national economies. Digital technology is in demand in Russia and raise scientific and consumer interest. Their socialization and mobility are ahead of the level of development of universities, their technological base. The result is a significant outflow of young researchers. In this situation, the development strategy of higher educational establishments should be aimed at development of multidisciplinary research and the creation of platforms to achieve economic superiority in the markets of goods and services. A necessary condition of achievement of such purpose is investment into development of the human capital.
