Purpose: The paper explores the new role of a modern university in the formation of technological sovereignty of the country. Answers are given to the questions: “Is technological sovereignty real in principle? Is a modern university ready to defend technological sovereignty?” It is shown that the mission of a modern university is leadership in the creation of fundamentally new equipment, technologies and human capital. Methods: Open Internet data, tools of ecosystem and project approach, methods of system analysis, theory of synergetics and innovation management were used. Results: A critical analysis of the “bottlenecks” of the university’s development in a volatile economy has been carried out. The problems and priorities of the development of a modern university in the context of a challenge to technological sovereignty are noted. The prerequisites for the institutional transformation of education and the features of the products of a modern university relevant to the dictates of time are considered. The model of research and development management in the Russian Federation is characterized. Practical significance: the features of the multidimensional role of the fourth generation university in the mechanism of achieving technological sovereignty are noted. The possible scenarios for the implementation of the technological sovereignty of the country and the industry, as well as the features of launching innovations in new conditions are described. New tracks of development of a modern university are shown. It is noted that a modern university is a “country of tomorrow” in terms of material and technical, educational and laboratory facilities, innovative environment, support for young scientists, preservation of traditions and increment of values. It is proved that only the presence of all these components will provide conditions both for the qualitative evolution of the university and for achieving the technological sovereignty of the country as a whole.

Keywords: technological sovereignty, technological flow, the mission of the branch university, scientific and educational ecosystem, applied scientific developments and innovations.
