THE THIRD SECTOR AS A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTOR TO IMPLEMENTING THE THIRD MISSION
Non-profit organizations (NGOs), including charitable foundations and public associations, are essential contributors to the discourse concerning universities’ third mission: both academic institutions and NGOs are actively engaged in addressing contemporary acute social issues (Medushevsky, 2016). This means that in order to achieve the public good, cooperation between nonprofits and universities can be mutually beneficial and productive, for what is the essence of the third mission if not a collective endeavor to respond to the prevailing public demand?
Non-profit organizations serve as a link connecting higher education to various sectors of the society. Collaborative research projects, educational and volunteer programs, student internships, public events — these are but a few of the possible cooperation forms between universities and NGOs.
Furthermore, philanthropic organizations are actively engaging students in volunteer internships and pro bono undertakings. This allows young people to garner crucial early-career work experience and gives them an opportunity to perceive and analyze career paths within the realm of the non-profit sector.
Expanding partnerships between universities and NGOs is one of the pivotal work areas for the Vladimir Potanin Foundation. Below we will delve into the programs executed by the Foundation within this sphere.
