Abstract
Universities today play an important role in promoting sustainable development of provinces by uniting the key participants of social processes to create the conditions required for the society’s well-being. Forecasting the social responsibility of universities in the economic development of the province based on quantitative evaluation parameters, such as the cost of developing all categories of personnel and the cost of developing the local community, has become increasingly relevant now.
This article talks about the main criteria for evaluating the social responsibility of a university, which may be used to build forecast models of the province’s economic development.

Keywords: social responsibility, university, evaluation criteria, forecast of economic development of province.
