Purpose – Technology foresight or technology futures analysis is increasingly being recognised as a tool for planning sustainable development. Similarly, as argued by many, biotechnology could be harnessed for sustainable development. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to map out foresight activities in the Indian biotechnology innovation system. Design/methodology/approach – The present paper has adopted a systemic approach to analyse the foresight activities in the Indian biotechnology sector. An online Delphi survey, including interviews, was conducted for 750 biotech units. Findings – The greatest need of foresight is felt in the biopharma sector, especially in the small- and medium-sized firms. The methodologies used are only pre-foresight in nature and for short-term time horizons. The output preferred is “setting the R&D planning and priorities”. “Assessing socioeconomic and environment impact” is not accorded a high priority. Most of the regulatory agencies do not carry out foresight exercises. Originality/value – The research holds significance for evolving sustainable development policy.

While Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is increasingly being implemented in educational systems, monitoring projects which capture the status and diffusion processes of ESD are also gaining relevance. The article presents part of the national monitoring of ESD in Germany—a qualitative expert interview study—which aims to analyze the diffusion process of ESD in different educational areas (early childhood education, school education, vocational education and training, higher education, non-formal learning organizations, and local authorities). Its goal is to gain a systematic understanding of the diffusion process of ESD in the different areas of the German educational system. For the analysis of the 66 expert interviews, a qualitative content analysis was used. The overarching result of the study is that there is no single transformation path of ESD diffusion that fits all educational areas. Instead, characteristics of ESD as well as prevailing structural conditions, systemic goals, and the understanding of education within the respective educational area have an impact on the diffusion of ESD. The diffusion process of ESD evolves within this circular interplay of innovation and innovation system. A deeper understanding of it therefore has great potential for practitioners’ (self-) reflections and for further research projects.

The Relationship

The huge potential of innovations to achieve the goals of sustainable development is indisputable, but at the same time the task of orienting the innovation process to its most problematic areas, which is a threat to national security, arises. This issue is relevant in the context of the formation of mechanisms of interaction between the state, business and society and is an urgent scientific and practical problem. Based on the above, the purpose of the study is to analyze the main components of innovation development strategies in the framework of national strategies for sustainable development. In the study, the author improved the scheme of the relationship between development and security, which is focused on achieving development and security goals through appropriate innovation policies and development management. Taking into account the importance of innovative development, as well as the national characteristics of the relationship between it and the goals of sustainable development, a practical approach to the coherence of innovation policy for sustainable development is proposed. It is determined that for the implementation of the coherence of innovation policy for sustainable development, an analytical component is important, which will link the goals of sustainable development and indicators of the innovation system as the basis for their achievement. To determine the impact of innovative development on the sustainable development of Ukraine, the impact of the indicator of goal 9 on the other 16 goals is determined. The components of the national system «sustainable development – security» are identified and evaluated on the basis of Sustainable Development Report 2019. As prospects for using the developed methodology of institutional innovation (creating institutional conditions for innovative priorities of sustainable development) it is proposed to consider it in the context of achieving sustainable goals development (systematic integration of economic, social and environmental aspects of sustainable development) at the regional level.

Within the framework of this work, the innovative educational environment of the Atyrau University named after Kh. Dosmukhamedov (AU) is considered. The role and the effects of the development of the innovation system of the university are analyzed and shown, the main strategic goals are revealed. The model for the development of educational infrastructure was substantiated, which implies an increase in the number of students, the modernization of educational programs, the launch of international educational programs in English, the implementation of innovative projects, including the commercialization of the results of scientific activities based on the business incubator “i-Space”, the promotion of the university for more high positions in national rankings of multidisciplinary universities, in international rankings, including the world ranking of universities for sustainable development “Green Metric”. The results of the study confirm the importance of the Development Strategy of AU for 2020-2025 as an alternative and an important step in creating an innovative university environment for solving problems of strengthening scientific potential, raising the status of a scientist, teacher of AU, increasing the contribution of university science to the needs of social partners, modernizing the content of academic activities in the context world trends, realizing their potential in striving for higher positions in the national ratings of multidisciplinary universities, in the international ratings of sustainable development "Green Metric".

Today, the countries of the world are experiencing a pandemic crisis that has arisen in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic crisis is characterized by the fact that, unlike other crises, it is a three-way crisis. In particular, the pandemic crisis is also characterized by demand, supply and, at the same time, a liquidity crisis. It should be said that the pandemic crisis has shown the need to improve the quality of the human factor and the associated human capital in order to achieve sustainable development. Based on this, the article analyzes the issues of expanding the positions of human capital in achieving sustainable development.Keywords:pandemic, global economic crisis, sustainable development, human factor, human capital, global trends in the development of the world economy, innovative development, national innovation system

Sustainable development is considered as one of the vital challenges of the 21st century for humanity. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted economic and social life, forcing governments and businesses to reconsider their priorities. There are rare empirical studies on the national innovation system and its relationship to sustainability development for emerging countries. This paper aims at shedding light on how mission-oriented policies have marked sustainable regional development and innovation in Latin America. The present study presents the capabilities that could support the improvement of the national innovation system and, as a consequence, sustainability development. To understand how Latin American countries act on innovation and sustainable development initiatives, two global rankings in these areas, The Global Innovation Index 2020 and The Sustainable Development Report 2020, were analyzed. The results indicate some obstacles must be overcome such as the high levels of social inequality and poverty that still constitute significant challenges for this region. Today’s biggest challenges are facing a pandemic situation and guaranteeing economic development that allows the underprivileged to escape poverty without dooming future generations to an even more degraded environment than the current one. Innovation continues to play a critical role in the transition toward a more sustainable world.
