On February 1, 2018, the First professorial forum "Problems of modern science and higher education: new views" was held.

The forum discussed three main problems of determining quotas for admission of applicants
faced by Russian universities at the moment: needs to be finalized.
1. Employment of graduates 2. Challenges of the digital age
According to statistics, only 70 % of First Deputy Chairman of the state Duma
University graduates in Russia are officially Committee on education and science O. N. Smolin
employed in the specialty. It means that the system in his speech at the forum noted that funding for
education and science is still not enough to create the necessary conditions to overcome the economic and technological backwardness of Russia from developed countries. Part of the solution to the lack of funding could be massive open online courses created by leading teachers and scientists. However, so far Rosobrnadzor has not provided all the necessary documents for universities to be able to fully work on the creation of Moocs.
3. Regular inspections of the university's regulatory authorities
At the forum, many representatives of the University community noted the excessive number of inspections by government agencies, as well as a large number of reports that universities are forced to prepare annually. This situation leads to the fact that most teachers and staff of the University simply do not have the time and effort to fully work with students and improve their own skills.
According to the Deputy Head of the Federal service for supervision in education and science N. A. Naumova, it is planned that the number of inspections will be reduced. Mechanisms of independent examination of the education quality in higher education are also being developed.
The second professorial forum became a platform for summarizing and defining new goals. To date, the RPA has created regional branches in almost all regions of the Russian Federation, bringing together more than five thousand professors from 170 universities and research institutes. And if last year the forum gathered about a thousand participants, this year - more than a thousand. Among them-about a hundred rectors of universities, representatives of various ministries and departments, the Public chamber, the Russian Union of Industrialists and entrepreneurs, heads of the Russian Federation educational bodies, academicians of RAS and RAO, etc.
The format of the event also changed: the expanded agenda required not a one-day, but a two-day program. Its good half was devoted to the key issues of scientific and pedagogical personnel training, including new approaches to their certification, as well as the tasks of the RPA regional departments and current problems in different branches of science (16 meetings), priority and most
promising areas of research.
The subject of discussion was not only the ways to implement the national projects "Science" and "Education", but also widely discussed in the community "pain points". Among them is the need to expand the concept of "leading universities," reforming the system of state certification of the universities status, the teaching load of professors, the difficulties with publication of Russian scientists' articles in the Humanities in the Western journals, the involvement of regional authorities and business in cooperation with the graduate school. As promised to journalists on the eve of the science holiday Chairman of the Russian professorial meeting, head of the Moscow state Institute of international relations (University) Department of civil society of the Russian foreign Ministry Vladislav Grib at a press conference in MIA "Russia today". The final resolution of the Professorial forum and recommendations of the participants will be sent to the Executive authorities of the subjects, the Ministry of education, the state Duma, the Public chamber. He stressed that the faculty pays special attention to the scientific component of the universities:
- Without the development of University science, we will not realize the strategic goals set for the country. Therefore, the support of economic measures, regional budgets of scientific and educational centers in the regions is one of the priorities for our meeting.
"An important communication mechanism" between the Federal center and the University community of regions called the CPF co-Chairman of the Russian professors meeting Supervisory Board, the Chairman of the Russian Federation of the higher attestation Commission, rector of the Russian peoples' friendship University Vladimir Filippov.
- It is necessary that the voice of someone who goes to the audience every day or conducts research, was heard at the highest level. No one but you know more about the problems faced by Russian science and education today, and without you no one will be able to find the best ways to solve them, - he said in his address to the forum participants. Among the members of the RPA
there are ordinary teachers, deans of faculties, who thanks to this "mechanism" can tell a lot to the leadership of the Ministry of education, working closely with the young professorial organization. At the same time, the representatives of the Ministry had the opportunity to inform the professors of their initiatives and talk to her about the problems directly, not only through the rectors.
Another useful function of the RPA is to establish a dialogue with the regional authorities and strengthen the influence of a large expert community on the ground, which, in fact, is represented by the participants of the meeting.
- The task of the RPA is not only to
protect the interests of its members, as someone might think, but above all to determine the progressive direction of our development, taking into account the needs of the Federal center and regions, using the experience and potential of ordinary professors, - said V. Filippov.
The co - Chairman of the meeting drew attention to the fact that in the field - in the Tomsk region, Krasnoyarsk region and other regions-over the past twenty years, accumulated their experience of Professor Associations. With the creation of the

RPA, it became possible to draw attention to their work at the Federal level.
- At the Russian professorial meeting about 20 special commissions and councils which collect offers from regional offices are created, discuss and find compromise solutions of concrete problems, -V. Filippov reported.
Oleg Kurbatov, Vice - President of the University professors International Association and associate professors at UNESCO, is among the high foreign guests of this forum. V. Grib said that last year the RPA was included in this structure. It includes about 10 professorial communities of France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and other countries. Our meeting also cooperates with partners from the near abroad - Kazakhstan, Baltic States, Transcaucasus, Central Asia. Close contacts established with the Belarusian and Bulgarian professionals. There was a proposal to open a representative office of the RPA in Serbia.
As a result of the professorial forum, a resolution was adopted. It should contribute to the creation of the necessary legislative framework to improve the quality of higher education in the country.
