Abstract

Russian universities are increasingly competing for additional sources of funding. This paper proposes a ranking of scientific and practical effectiveness of Russian universities, based on the account of the volume of funds obtained through research and development; the authors assess the sustainability of a built rating. The leaders of universities ranking are identified and "technological" model of their success is disclosed, their policy to diversify sources of funding is discussed. Typical examples of a new trend of the higher education market — "technologization" of leading social and humanitarian universities — are shown.
