Development of Bio-Economics and Training Highly-Qualified HR in Russian Regions

   Bibliographic and bibliometric analyses showed a serious growth in the number of investigations on bio-economics in 2016–2023. It was pointed out that for bio-economics development we need not only the generation of effective bio-technologies but also their translation – knowledge proliferation. Traditionally these functions are realized mainly through system of personnel training, which gives an opportunity to train highly-qualified workers capable of maintaining effectiveness of production forces at the advanced level. In view of this the present article compiled a sample of 36 Russian universities by ‘Bio-technology and bio-engineering’ and ‘Ecology’ ratings. In addition 10 more universities were included by ‘Economics’ rating. The entry of each university was fixed for subsequent visualization by cartography in order to find regions of prospective development of inter-disciplinary and convergent education programs. Later on a broader sample of leading home universities research was conducted on education programs aimed at training qualified personnel for developing ecologic bio-technologies based on new knowledge. Findings of the research demonstrate that Russia has got prospects for effective development of bioeconomics based on ecologic bio-technologies.
