INTRODUCTION
Tertiary school is one of the types of educational institutions in Europe encompassing higher education institutions that train highly qualifi ed specialists for practical activities within various scientifi c domains in Russia. The objective of higher education is to ensure the continuity and integration of scientifi c knowledge in the system of "education-academia-industry" [1, p. 104]. Academic staff who are the intellectual potential of a country play an important role in this system. The national project "Science" aims at ensuring the attractiveness of work in the Russian Federation for leading Russian and foreign scientists as well as young promising researchers [2]. The national initiative in corporates the federal project "Human resource capacity building for research and development" [3]. The federal project focuses on "designing a system of training and professional growth of academic and pedagogical personnel, providing conditions for young scientists to carry out research and development, an destablish scientifi c laboratories and competitive teams" [3]. Highly qualifi ed academic personnel increase the country's competitiveness in the world, as well as integrate education and science.

THEORY AND EXPERIMENT
Science and education are two systems that supplement each other and have a common personnel potential. Research work is a prerequisite for the training of highly qualifi ed academic personnel. The quality of training is enhanced by strengthening the material and technical facilities of scientifi c research, represented by scientific equipment designed or acquired as part of the fundamental and applied research used in the educational process, as well as improving the personnel certifi cation system. The demand for training academic personnel in prioritized scientifi c domains can be traced in the required level of publications within various science scopes. Currently Russia needs excellent scientists in engineering, natural and computer sciences ( Table 1). The determinants for the courses of research and training of academic personnel are the prioritized areas of economic and social development of the society that increase the level and quality of life of citizens. Hence, scientists of Volga State University of Technology, for example, Yu.S. Andrianov, I.A. Kudryavtsev, V.A. Gryazin, A.I. Kudryavtsev, K.S. Klyuzhev designed a technology for medical rehabilitation of patients with the function of the musculoskeletal system using robotic exoskeleton; V.N.Dubrovin, Ya.A. Furman, A.A. Rozhentsov invented technology of intra operative navigation for minimally invasive operations with support for augmented reality and control over the actions of the surgeon. The scientifi c achievements of highly qualifi ed academic personnel are best resulted in inventive and patent-licensing activities, including analytical, expert, legal and *AndrianovYS@volgatech.net commercial functions, positive decisions on the ownership, using and allocating property rights to intellectual property. The rating of countries by patent activity is given in table 2. The largest number of patents for the invention are issued by countries such as China, the USA and Japan. These countries are top-ranked in the export of new technologies and inventions to other countries of the 37 thousand of applications). Russian universities have been issued about 28 thousand patent documents over the past fi ve years [4]. Source: data of the analytical center "Expert" [8] No Country Total of applications Applications by residents Applications by non-residents   (table 3). Whereas, monitoring of the statistical data over the past nine years has shown an increase in the share of researchers up to 39 years in the total number of researchers in Russia by 8.4% and in the Volga Federal District (here in after VFD) by 7.5% and a decrease in the Republic of Mari El (here in after RME) by 4% (Fig. 1). As part of the national initiative "Science", it is planned to increase this indicator from 43.9% in 2018 to 50.1% by 2024.
The presence of the Russian Federation among the fi ve leading countries of the world carrying out research and development in areas determined by the priorities of scientifi c and technological development within the framework of the national initiative "Science" is ensured by research of scientists in the science domains. The num-   and an applied course -the application of new knowledge to achieve practical goals and solve specifi c problems and experimental development -activities based on knowledge acquired as a result of research or practical experience [6]. Scientifi c research is carried out in academies of sciences, higher educational institutions, design bureaus, laboratories, etc., The public sector accounted for 37.3% of research, business -32.3%, higher education organizations -26%, non-profi t organizations -3% in 2018 (Fig. 2). Creating an integrated system of training and professional growth of academic personnel is the major task in the development of human resources in the fi eld of research and development within the national initiative "Science". The number of people researching and developing decreased by 7.3% in Russia as a whole, by 9.7% in the Volga Federal District, and in the Republic of Mari El this indicator fell down by 1.4 times in 2010-2018 (Fig. 3). Training of academic personnel in higher education is carried out in graduate school and doctoral studies, as well Viktor Shebashev, et al. -The importance of higher education in training of academic personnel as in the form of allocating for writing a Candidate's dissertation without mastering the training program for scientifi c and pedagogical personnel in graduate school. Since 2010, the Russian Federation has seen a decrease in the total number of researchers with an academic degree of 4.5%, of which doctors of science by 5.6% and candidates of science by 4.1%. Whereas, the above indicators increased as a whole by 14.4% and 35%, incl. for doctors of sciences by 14.1% and 60%, for candidates by 14.5% and 31.4% respectively in the Volga Federal District and the Republic of Mari El (Table 5).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Volga State University of Technology, which is the Volga Engineering and Technology Center, aims at developing a system of innovative continuing education, formingthe mechanisms for the implementation of innovative competencies of graduates and young scientists, establishing a system of training, retraining and advanced training of specialists for high-tech sectors of the economy, small and medium-sized businesses [7, p. 254].Nine people from among young scientists, graduate students and students became winners of the competition for the selection of innovative projects and teams in the business incubator in 2018. The business incubator held a number of training sessions for young scientists aiming at developing the skills of innovative entrepreneurship and small business establishment based on scientifi c developments. The issues of training, placement and advanced training of academic and pedagogical personnel are one of the most important aspects of the activity of Volga State University of Technology. Various forms are used to develop the research and pedagogical potential of the university.

CONCLUSION
Tertiary school is an active subject of functioning of academic personnel. Academic personnel increase the country's competitiveness, are the source of formation of new theories, methods, technologies, devices, installations, mechanisms, gadgets, etc. The study showed that the training of academic personnel in higher educational institutions is affected by many factors: the territorial location of universities; trends in the socio-economic development of the country; world globalization processes and research courses of tertiary schools. The success of the training can be traced in the publication activity of academic personnel, participation in inventive and patent-licensing activities, etc. According to the authors, further development and improvement of the training of academic personnel in higher educational institutions is feasible under four conditions: material support for academic personnel; involvement of the youth in research activity; improvement of the quality and quantity of publications in domestic and international peer-reviewed research journals and use of the experience of world rating universities.
