This article offers a network perspective on the collaborative effects of technology transfer, providing a research methodology based on the network science paradigm. We argue that such an approach is able to map and describe the set of entities acting in the technology transfer environment and their mutual relationships. We outline how the connections’ patterns shape the organization of the networks by showing the role of the members within the system. By means of a case study of a transnational initiative aiming to support the technology transfer within European countries, we analyse the application of the network science approach, giving evidence of its relative implications.

During the past decade, Taiwan has experienced an unusual and fast growing in the industry of mapping, remote sensing, spatial information and related markets. A successful space program and dozens of advanced airborne and ground-based remote sensing instruments as well as mobile mapping systems have been implemented and put into operation to support the vast demands of geospatial data acquisition. Moreover, in addition to the government agencies and research institutes, there are also tens of companies in the private sector providing geo-spatial data and services. However, the fast developing industry is also posing a great challenge to the education sector in Taiwan, especially the higher education for geo-spatial information. Facing this fast developing industry, the demands of skilled professionals and new technologies in order to address diversified needs are indubitably high. Consequently, while delighting in the expanding and prospering benefitted from the fast growing industry, how to fulfill these demands has become a challenge for the remote sensing and spatial information disciplines in the higher education institutes in Taiwan. This paper provides a brief insight into the status of the remote sensing and spatial information industry in Taiwan as well as the challenges of the education and technology transfer to support the increasing demands and to ensure the continuous development of the industry. In addition to the report of the current status of the remote sensing and spatial information related courses and programs in the colleges and universities, current and potential threatening issues and possible resolutions are also discussed in different points of view.

To ensure and strengthen the development of high-tech R&D and its industrial applications in the long-term perspective, information and communication technologies (ICT) cooperation tools with national and international institutions, network associations and firms are of great importance. To solve this problem, a joint systematic and coordinated work to develop institutions that can provide crucial support to innovation process is crucial. For these purposes, higher educational institutions (HEI) innovation activities information and communication support and technological development analysis are critically important. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing ICT toolkit, which is used to manage R&D and various industrial applications, and to develop a conceptual framework for the implementation of these tools for the participation of universities in innovation networks. To answer this question, authors begin by taking a closer look at the new role of universities in the development of knowledge generation in a global environment, as well as problems and tendencies under conditions of postindustrial society. The new role of universities in knowledge generation in the global environment development, and problems and tendencies under the conditions of postindustrial society were outlined. Modern ICT components, which are necessary for universities to participate in the innovation networks, were analyzed. Some cases of foreign experience in the scientific and innovation networks of current prototypes of Industry 4.0 development were discussed, and the possibilities of its adaptation to national innovation system formation conditions in Ukraine were identified. By theoretical and empirical examining, the authors propose more complete understanding of modern ICT components, which are necessary for universities to participate in innovation networks. Cases of foreign experience in the scientific and innovation networks of current prototypes of Industry 4.0 development were investigated. Moreover, the evidence from this study suggests a variety of factors related to the possibilities to adapt ICT tools to national innovation system formation in Ukraine.

In face of the technological changes derived from Industry 4.0, an initial, gradual and complex process of Technology Transfer (TT) is taking place that strongly relies on the integration between university, industry, and government. In this context, in order to make the Industry 4.0 approach a reality, several requirements need to be met. One of them is the need to qualify people to work in industries. This study aimed to explore the possible changes and perspectives of human work in Industry 4.0. A systematic literature review was carried out following a structured script. 50 were chosen for content analysis, following criteria for qualification and selection of studies. As a result, a number of changes in human skills and tasks, as well as job prospects, were found, standing out the greater flexibility of people, ability for decision-making, among others.

Purpose. The aim of the article is determining the state of innovative processes in Ukraine and the EU, studying the best practices of the EU on the implementation of the principles of Industry 4.0 for enterprises with the involvement of scientists and support at the state level. Methodology of research. The following methods were used in the study in order to achieve this goal, namely: an abstract and logical method in study the essence of categories and concepts in the field of Industry 4.0; comparative and economic – in the analysis of domestic and world experience in the introduction of innovative products on the basis of Industry 4.0; statistical analysis and generalization – to process an array of statistical and empirical data and formulate the relevant conclusions of the study. Findings. An analysis of the best European practices aimed at the development of Industry 4.0 was carried out. The projects directed on improvement of the state and regional policies directly, their popularization and informing of a society and the projects directed on introduction (transfer) of technologies of Industry 4.0 directly to the enterprises are considered. Some tools of realization of their principles in Ukraine are resulted, their low efficiency is defined. Positive changes in the domestic legislation aimed at improving the process of innovation and digitalization of production are presented: adoption on July 21, 2021 by the Cabinet of Ministers of Resolution No. 750 to promote the implementation of the technological approach “Industry 4.0” in Ukraine. The resolution provides state financial support for the movement of Industry 4.0 in Ukraine through the creation of Centres 4.0, which will search for projects aimed at digitalization of production, further examination of selected projects and their acceleration and technology transfer. Originality. The practical and methodological principles of supporting the Industry 4.0 movement in Ukraine are substantiated, recommendations for ensuring the innovative development of Ukrainian industry are provided. Practical value. It is proposed in accordance with the Resolution to create working structures - 4.0 centres on the basis of infrastructure of higher education institutions, research institutions, etc., which with state support will carry out further examination of innovative projects and their acceleration and register them in parallel (enter the network) as digital hubs (DIH) on the European Smart Specialization Platform. This combination will expand the Centres’ capacity to attract European grants for Ukrainian SMEs to implement technologies related to Industry 4.0 and will enable Ukrainian innovation specialists to gain experience and support from representatives of developed European digital hubs. Key words: innovations; technology transfer; Industry 4.0; digitalization; hub; Centre 4.0.
