The role of student scientific organizations of the M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University in the implementation of youth policy

This article examines the role of student research organizations at the M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University (hereinafter referred to as NEFU) in the context of youth policy. The relevance of this work is determined by state policy priorities aimed at patriotic education of youth and the creation of favorable conditions for the self-realization of the younger generation, which requires studying the agents of youth policy. In this regard, the study aims to identify the role of student research organizations as agents of youth policy in the overall Strategy for the Implementation of Youth Policy using NEFU as an example. The methodological basis of the study is a structural-functional approach combined with the method of substantive content analysis and data synthesis. The main materials of the study are two fundamental documents of youth policy: the Strategy for the Implementation of Youth Policy through 2030 and the Federal Law “On Youth Policy in the Russian Federation”, as well as materials from the official website of NEFU. The results of the study showed that student research organizations are an effective tool for implementing youth policy at the micro level within the university and its departments. This paper systematizes the forms and functions of student research organizations, as well as the types and levels of their activities. The theoretical significance of this work lies in conceptualizing student research organizations as a specific agent of youth policy. The practical value of this work lies in the possibility of using the research findings for a comparative analysis of student organization activities across different universities, as well as for developing mechanisms to improve the effectiveness of these organizations.
