Competence of the research and education center: definition, list and structure

Introduction. The article substantiates the need to introduce the concept of "REC competencies", associated with the emergence of a new type of partnership of education, science and business – world-class research and educational centers. The emergence of new positions within the REC and their dynamic changes also pose the task of continuous work with competencies. The article presents an analysis of the methodological results of the work of the competence group within the framework of the strategic sessions of the scientific and educational center of the Nizhny Novgorod region, research and approaches to the definition of competencies.

Materials and Methods. Systematic and activity-based approaches were used as the methodological basis of the study. To solve the tasks set by the authors of the work, general scientific, psychological, pedagogical and practical methods of scientific research were used. Theoretical and empirical research methods were used: analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, comparison, scientific theorization. For the analysis, the materials collected by the working group "Competencies" within the framework of the strategic sessions of the REC of the Nizhny Novgorod region were used.

Results. The article defines the concept of "REC competence", for the formulation of which an activity-based approach was used. The types of REC competencies are identified-meta-competencies (for the key activities of the research and educational center: research, innovation, entrepreneurship, engineering and technology, education) and cross-cutting competencies, the presence of which is necessary and sufficient for the REC project team in order to close the entrepreneurial contour of the project and make it successful on the world market. The structure of REC competence is defined, including motivational, cognitive, operational and vector components. The structure of cross-cutting competencies is described.

Discussion and Conclusion.  It is concluded that the description of the structure of end-to-end REC competencies can be used to improve the competencies of professionals involved in the creation and promotion of world-class projects in the REC structure. The conditions that must be provided to achieve the designated goals are defined.
