Abstract

Education and science have been and remain the main areas of activity of educational institutions of higher education.

The novelty of this study is the study of the third mission within the theory of sustainable development. Sustainable development is a key development trend for any nation in the world. Sustainable development is an activity focused on enhancing human life. The principles of sustainable development also have a positively affect not only the growth of the country's economy and the well-being of the population, but also in a positive way changes the influence of humanity on the environment at a fundamental level. Thus, the implementation of the third mission of the university through sustainable development is the implementation of interaction with stakeholders within the goals of the concept under consideration. Based on the results of data analysis, it is known that at present the practice of introducing the principles of sustainable development has a positive impact on the level of higher education and contributes the progress of the education in the Russian Federation. In the process of integrating the principles of sustainable development, cooperation is being undertaken between various commercial and non-commercial organizations. In the future, the results of these innovations will fundamentally change the social structure of society and make it possible to coexist with such concepts as economic growth and an environmentally friendly environment outside the framework of the educational process.
