Regional University In Digital Economy

Abstract

The work is devoted to the role of a regional university in the emerging digital economy. The issue of improving the education system, which should provide the digital economy with competent personnel, has become urgent. A transformation of the labor market is needed, which must be based on the requirements of the digital economy. Hence, the priority is the issue of creating a motivation system for the development of the necessary competencies and the participation of personnel in the development of the digital economy of Russia. The development of the digital economy presupposes the development of the digitalization level of society, hence it is obvious that the formation of a digital space is impossible without the active participation of the university, especially at the regional level. The main economic function of a regional university is supporting a regional talent fund, providing regional labor markets that create new jobs with high-quality human capital. The paper discusses the formation of a model of a “digital university”. The development of a regional university to a greater extent should depend on the requirements of the regional economy, and the need to produce a specific resource of the region. This can significantly change the map of education in the region. It is assumed that the digital university model should consist of four blocks: a university management information system, online support for the educational process, the key competencies of the digital economy and educational process management based on an individual educational path.
