Introduction. Russia’s entry into the global scientific and educational space is accompanied by the intersection of the potentials of various social systems. The vector of social development is largely determined by the level of scientific and educational potential, which is especially pronounced at the turning points of the historical development of society, when there is a change in civilizational guidelines. The development of regional scientific and educational potential is directly related to the possibility of attracting highly qualified motivated university graduates to the scientific and educational sphere. The work shows the dynamics of updating the personnel potential of regional scientific and educational systems and identifies factors affecting the formation of priorities for the employment of graduates of research universities in the regional labor market. Methodology and methods of the research. The philosophical conceptualization method used by the author made it possible to present a new level of analysis of the formation of the regional scientific and educational potential and overcome the fragmented approaches to its research. With the help of sociocultural and sociological approaches, a secondary analysis of sociological research data aimed at identifying the priorities for the employment of graduates of research universities has been carried out. The results of the research. It is proved that the presence of educated motivated youth involved in the scientific and educational process is one of the most important competitive advantages of the development of any regional systems. On the example of a large regional university integrated into a world-class research center, the negative dynamics of youth involvement in the regional scientific and educational sector is shown. Attention is drawn to the fact that there is an outflow of university graduates, one of the main goals of which is to train personnel for basic science and education. Conclusion. As a result of the work, the main reasons for the decrease in the number of university graduates who are ready to engage in scientific and educational activities at regional sites are revealed: a serious decrease in the prestige of scientific activity in the public mind; low material support of youth in the regions at the initial stage of scientific activity; limited social conditions (social infrastructure, housing problem, etc.), while the absence of a normally developed social infrastructure may be the result of a rather high level of geographical localization of research centers.
