Summary
Universities in the 21st century are a high level of education, but a tool to form a responsible society in the field of sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, officially adopted in 2015 by the UN General Assembly, is called upon to solve the global problems facing humanity [1]. Modern conditions are such that decision-making at almost all levels must be supported by economic indicators, and by possible social and environmental risks arising from the implementation of these decisions in the future. The leading role in the search for such solutions is assigned to research and educational centers. These are the leading higher educational institutions of the world. Universities are “personnel factories”, and carriers of the socio-cultural environment
