The Influence of a Resource and Competence Centre on the Multifunctional Development of Agriculture

摘要

The article deals with the problem of a severe shortage of specialists in the field of management who are able to efficiently introduce innovative technologies in the sectoral labour market. The article describes the competences, including metadisciplinary and digital ones, which an updated manager should possess. The ways of transition to the digital economy are analysed, while up-to-date approaches to the training of future specialists, as well as the development of a "lifelong learning" continuing education system are unfolded. The experience is proposed for replication in the form of an information platform for providing information to organisations of the agro-industrial complex, small farms and rural population about technologies, measures for the development and support of rural areas, level of financial investments made, production potential and possible development reserves. The experience in project management for the promotion and implementation of innovative ideas of students, scientists and other participants of the university ecosystem in the formation of objective foundations for the creation of training grounds for future practices is presented. The article is intended for specialists in the field of education, science, technology transfer and rural development.
