Cooperation of enterprises and universities in the field of scientific activity leads to an increase in the level of education, as well as the status of the educational institution, and contributes to a better employment of students. However, involvement in this cooperation may not be sufficient. That is why the purpose of this study was to assess the level of this involvement and form possible recommendations for its improvement. To conduct the study, a survey of 650 students from four Russian universities that have connections with various enterprises was organized. The survey showed that, despite the high awareness of the importance of such cooperation, students are not sufficiently involved in the joint research activities of universities and enterprises. To solve this problem, seminars with employees of companies can be organized, a system of encouragement for students, expansion of cooperation with foreign enterprises, as well as organization of financial support for projects of gifted students can be developed. The results and results of this article can be used for further research in this area.
