The paper includes outcomes of the field and desk studies: analysis of statistical data on socio-economic development of the Far Eastern District, self-assessment of North Eastern Federal University departments, surveys on the basis of formalized experts’ interviews and focus groups of various stakeholders.The research revealed the university tangible impact on the city (Yakutsk) and the Republic of Sakha development. However, the university needs a strategy to promote its influence in other Far Eastern regions and strengthen its positions in the Republic of Sakha. The analysis demonstrates that the university possesses necessary capacities to strengthen its positions to generate influence on territorial development in the Far Eastern Federal District. However, utilization of the potential would require an agreement on a strategy to go ahead and harnessing of resources.The research is conducted in the framework of the project "Analysis of the NEFU’s role in the development of the territory on the basis of the OECD methodology adapted for Russian universities to develop recommendations for enhancement of the university’s influence on innovative, technological, educational and socio-cultural development of the region", implemented within the contract № 1537-09/12, 24.09.2012 by the Institute of International Organisations of the National Research University "Higher School of Economics" and Department for Strategic Development of North Eastern Federal University in 2012.
