Abstract
The current period is characterized by a continuous increase in the role of science in solving various problems of the world community. In the twenty-first century, science has acquired a qualitatively new image—the image of the science of the information society based on develo** digital technologies. Additionally, the global space is actively moving along the path of transformation toward a knowledge society and a knowledge-based economy. In this regard, higher education acquires a huge role in the form of its main elements—universities. In turn, this necessitates the development of science as a methodological basis for studying the scientific activities of universities—participants in world-class scientific centers. This paper aims to analyze the possible contribution of universities participating in world-class scientific centers (WCRC universities) to providing technological breakthroughs based on advanced digital technologies based on the methodological approaches of science about science. The paper focuses on fundamental scientific and applied research of universities—members of consortiums of world-class scientific centers in the field of advanced digital and intelligent production technologies. One of the main drivers of digital transformation is designated—the technology of “digital twins.” An assessment is made of the possible contribution of universities—participants in world-class research centers to the digital transformation of Russia. The significant contribution of universities participating in consortiums in the form of WCSC to the development of the digital economy is shown.
