Assessment of the impact of projects to create an innovative educational environment using the public-private partnership mechanism on the socio-economic development of regions
Abstract. The article considers methodological issues of evaluation of impact of projects for creation of modern university campuses on the basis of public-private partnership mechanisms on social and economic development of localization regions. The work presents a comparative analysis of domestic and foreign experience in the implementation of PPP projects in the field of higher education for the period 2010-2023. A methodological approach to assess the impact of campuses on social and economic development indicators of the region based on an integral indicator is justified. The influence of the largest Russian university campuses on social and economic development of regions was evaluated.
