Abstract

The paper describes an impact of participation in state R&D projects jointed with industrial companies on quality increasing of educational process. The potential impact of such R&D projects is based on the experience of state project between ITMO University and AlkorBio Group biotechnological company. The results of the project can be used as a basis for development of educational programs, which have a direct interaction with real sector of economy and industry. The development of such R&D projects and educational programs can contribute to a sharp increase of employability of students after graduation.
