Evaluation methodology of the potential of agricultural universities in the experimental digital pilot farm project

The digitization of agriculture needs the methodological support in comprehensive assessment of scientific and educational, experimental and industrial potential of agricultural universities. The article examines the methodology and criteria of this potential evaluation under the project experimental digital pilot farm. The findings include the evaluation scheme of such project's development on the basis of the agricultural university. The integrated index of the evaluation has also been developed with the use of the statistics method, the sociological and expert survey. It is argued that the objective evaluation of the digitization efficiency on the level of a particular farm will help to choose differential strategies on digital transformation of agrarian enterprises.
