In search of ways for effective interaction among science, education and industry

The article examines the problem of interaction among science, education and industrial production as a decisive factor for the innovative economy development and for the increase of national competitiveness. Due to the accelerating rate of global development a need for a comparative research in this field increases. The research is essential for deeper understanding of our own development experience in comparison to the foreign one. The author considers characteristic features inherent to the development of integration processes taking place in Turkey and Russia. The forms and areas of possible cooperation are studied as well. The main principals of the Turkish higher education (HE) transition to a qualitative model of the stable development, enhancement of the universities' role in the promotion of the state scientific and innovative systems, caused by the enlargement of the University research funding are revealed. Low effectiveness of the Russian universities involvement into the process of innovative development acceleration is conditioned by the lack of research funding, reduction of scientific personnel, insufficient orientation of students towards research work. Efforts aimed at the development of the institutes’ scientific potential and further capitalization of the institutions’ scientific reputation are present in both countries. A research of the Turkish experience in the area of HE, its interaction with science and industry has led to the development of constructive ideas. They are instrumental in solving such common problems as promotion of active private-state partnerships in professional training, creation of quality culture, intensification of international cooperation in scientific and academic spheres.
