Integration of science, education and practice as a factor in the development of russian industry — problems and solutions

Abstract

This article addresses the current challenges surrounding the integration of Russian education, science, and industry practice. It examines global trends, including accelerated technological development, the imperative for technological sovereignty, the multidisciplinary nature of modern knowledge, and the shortage of qualified personnel. The study analyzes the shortcomings of the existing system, such as the protracted specialist training cycle, the misalignment between professional and educational standards and market demands or technological trends, and the insufficient link between academic education and the realities of practical organizational workflow. The findings demonstrate that flexibility and differentiation must become the cornerstone directions for addressing these issues. Finally, the author proposes measures to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of the educational system, including a shift away from rigid standardization, the expansion of employer engagement, and a transition from quantitative metrics to qualitative evaluation criteria.
