Innovation activity is central to economic modernization. Despite the fact that Russia possesses serious scientific/technical potential, it has fallen significantly behind industrial countries in getting innovative solutions to an open commercial market. The nation has had difficulties in commercializing innovative output, which has kept it from achieving the economic returns that it deserves. The commercialization of R&D outcomes is indispensable to the strategic development of any organization. The insufficiently effective realization of innovation potential in Russia is largely due to the detachedness of innovation activity in higher education institutions from practice and a lack of interest from business – a key agent of innovation commercialization. The research reported in this paper focuses on the scientific/theoretical and practical/applied foundations of the process of commercializing the outcomes of innovation activity in higher education institutions. It has helped establish and gain an insight into some of the key issues in the area. The paper makes a case for the possibility of enhancing this process via a special model for commercializing the outcomes of innovation activity in higher education institutions.

the growth of the need for social production in the leaders due to the dynamic development of industry and the acceleration of the cycle of aging and technological change is justified. It is shown that the organization of training of these leaders and the new humanitarian and technical elite should be carried out in higher education institutions of engineering profile. It is proved that in order to qualitatively train the elite and leaders as real carriers and organizers of scientific, technical and social progress in the conditions of formation of industry 4.0 it is extremely necessary to pass to education 4.0.

The article is devoted to the results of the annual monitoring of the activities of higher education institutions of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine) in the field of technology transfer. The purpose of the study is to analyze the results of the transfer of created the higher education institutions based on the results of scientific, technical and innovative technologies for implementation in public practice, identify its main problems and ways to solve them in modern society. The research was carried out by the Ukrainian Institute of Scientific and Technical Expertise and Information according to the developed system of indicators and approved methodology using information on the results of innovation activities by budget managers. The obtained results show that in 2020 the higher education institutions transferred more than half of the total number of technologies transferred by the main managers of budget funds for strategic priority areas of innovation. Almost all technologies created by the higher education institutions were transferred to the order of industrial sector enterprises with a share of 96,4 % (in 2019 — 99,1 %, in 2018 — 80,4 %) in the total number of technologies transferred to industrial enterprises. For the last three years, the Ministry of Education and Science has been a leader among other managers in both domestic and foreign markets. The vast majority of technologies in the domestic and all technologies in the foreign market are transferred to customers through “know-how, agreements for the acquisition (transfer) of technology”. Technologies for 2018–2020 were transferred according to all approved strategic priorities, most of them according to priority 5 (medicine). Among the 23 higher education institutions operating in the field of transfer in 2020, the leader is Sumy State University (as in 2019 and 2018), which transferred more than half of the total number of transferred technologies, all — to the industrial sector. In 2018–2020, more than half of the technologies transferred to the domestic market, and almost all — on the foreign market were developed by the Ministry of Education and Science, of which almost all — universities. These technologies have a higher competitiveness and demand compared to technologies obtained by scientists from other domestic structures, which allows the Ministry of Education and Science among other fund managers to maintain a leading position in the field of transfer in both markets, including industry. Thus, the higher education institutions created and transferred innovative products for direct implementation in public practice and technological reequipment of enterprises at the sectoral level. The main problem of the transfer is that the transferred technologies were created only at the expense of enterprises and customer organizations for direct implementation, which narrows the opportunities for attracting the higher education institutions for effective implementation of modern society development strategies at regional and local levels. In order to further improve and expand the directions and opportunities of scientific, scientific-technical and innovative activities of the the higher education institutions, it is proposed to take into account world and European experience in the strategies of free economic development, including universities. sustainable development and its goals in order to increase the socio-economic development of society at the international, regional and local levels.

The purpose of the article is to verify the Pareto principle in terms of revenues to the special fund of higher education institutions of Ukraine based on the results of scientific and scientific-technical work on international cooperation projects, scientific and scientific-technical work under economic agreements and scientific services. With the help of ABC-analysis of indicators of income from scientific activity, domestic higher education institutions are divided into three groups: A – higher education institutions with a large amount of income from scientific activities; B – higher education institutions with an average level of commercialization of scientific activity; C – higher education institutions with little or no income from research. It was obtained that group A included 29 (19,595 %) higher education institutions of Ukraine, which in 2016–2018 provided paid scientific services in the amount of UAH 739,747 million (79,39 % of the total). Group B was formed by 34 (22,973 %) domestic higher education institutions, whose scientific activity in the analyzed period brought income in the amount of UAH 147,954 million (15,88 % of the total). Group C included 85 (57,432 %) Ukrainian higher education institutions, which earned UAH 44,082 million (4,73 % of the total) as a result of their scientific work. It was found that the Pareto principle 20/80 was reflected in the activities of higher education institutions in Ukraine. Strategies for commercialization of research results for domestic higher education institutions from each group are proposed: group A – leader’s strategy; group B – the applicant’s strategy; group C – strategy of the beginner.

This paper constitutes a scientific approach, where there have been highlighted the most important innovative changes that influence the development of a higher education institution and shape the activity of universities towards permanent adaptation to achieve their sustainability. The topicality of the research topic stems from the need to identify effective measures to achieve sustainability in higher education institutions. The aim of the research is to identify the innovative changes that have a positive impact on the strategic development of the universities. The problem of the research lies in highlighting the most important innovative changes that can affect the universities in achieving their sustainability. In this context, we can reiterate that innovative changes have been defined and analysed from the perspective of the need of university change in the direction of their assimilation within institutions. In addition, the innovative potential of the Republic of Moldova was evaluated from the perspective of the analysis of the categories of scientific researchers, of the research fields, of the expenses undertaken by the state for the development of scientific researches. The research methodology focused on the use of several methods: analysis, synthesis, induction, abduction, deduction, qualitative research through documentation, scientific abstraction. In conclusion, we can reiterate that the Republic of Moldova has a valuable innovation potential, which can lead the country to achieve sustainability. The best solution would be the efficient capitalization of the innovative potential of the country but also its direction towards ensuring an ecological-economic-social balance, in the context of applying a management of university sustainability within higher education institutions.

The article emphasizes that in the context of accelerated democratization and European integration, the use of a value model of the management in higher education, based on the university autonomy and their public («third») mission, is urgent for the HEIs of Ukraine. Creating innovations is its integral part. Sweden experience, as a country with a high innovation index, regarding the development of innovation in higher education institutions is analyzed. The country's policy on the organization of research at universities, aimed at strengthening the «strategic» research areas, such as interdisciplinary industrial and social research, is considered. The main initiatives of the country's government, which have helped to strengthen the strategic fields of research activity and stimulate the emergence of new values in the higher education sector, such as entrepreneurship and competitiveness, are given. In the case study a successful example of Uppsala University infrastructure was studied using the HEInnovate method and the following key criteria - governance, potential of HEI/ financing/personnel/initiatives, entrepreneurial education, innovation support, knowledge sharing and collaboration, Internationalization, digital transformation. The main values and cultural guidelines of the institution, its governance at different levels and communication between different stakeholders and university are characterized. The main productive initiatives of the university, aimed at developing the skills and competencies of researchers and students, necessary for the successful implementation of projects, commercialization, and start-ups are considered. A number of factors that have had a positive impact on the innovation potential of Swedish universities as well as on the country's position in global innovation rankings have been identified. It is suggested to use the experience in dealing with innovators and external stakeholders of Uppsala University by Ukrainian research universities for upgrading their infrastructure.

The article proposes innovative methods of development of educational process in higher education institutions (ZVO) of Ukraine. The educational services market has an unstable situation. ZVO needs to be viewed from the perspective of adapting to the changing situation in the educational services market. The example of the university examines the essence of innovative development of ZVO, foreign experience and scientific approach to evaluating the innovation potential of a similar institution. The main factors of external and internal influence on innovative development and innovative potential of the university and stages of its development are determined. It has been shown that innovation is based on increasing the interest of students and teachers in obtaining and selecting new ideas, their relevance to modern scientific and technological progress, financial support and creating an overall favorable environment for innovation implementation. Various innovative methods of pedagogy have always been successfully used in the educational process, the basis of which is the interactivity and maximum closeness to the real professional activity of the future specialist. Attempts by individual teachers to diversify the learning process should be widely supported by students. The importance of maintaining the university's innovation potential has been proven, as the amount of research conducted on the university's base and publications made on its behalf contributes to a better investment climate for employers by employers. Thanks to quality education, the University can benefit not only for its own success, but also to raise the city's rating, to further attract students, tourists and businessmen. The experience of recent years shows that it is much more difficult to implement a certain idea in Ukrainian educational institutions than in Europe or the USA, for example, so in domestic defense institutions they often rely on foreign experience rather than support new ideas from their own participants in the educational process. Keywords: institution of higher education, ZVO, innovative development, innovative potential, innovative teaching methods.

The interactions between the higher education sector and society and industry have been attracting increased attention in terms of ways to develop social innovation solutions to societal problems. Despite calls from politicians and the existence of some guidelines, we know little about how higher education could incorporate social innovation activities into its structure and missions. This study examines some practice experiences in two southern European public universities in Portugal and Spain. We show that the third mission of universities, which includes social innovation, is both linked to the first two missions of teaching and research, depending on the university’s historical and social context. The high dependence of higher education institutions on economic returns increases the importance of political action to drive the development of social innovation activities. This conditioning factor seems to be intrinsic to some of the barriers that have been identified, such as lack of legitimization and recognition of social innovation practices at the formal governmental level.

In today's context, the issue of the physical culture and sports masters professional training reforming in higher education institutions of Ukraine in accordance with world standards is particularly acute. In this context, Ukraine's integration into the European space requires a constant study of the international experience of education systems. Austrian higher education institutions are among the best in Europe and in the world, with centuries of experience and tradition in teaching. The article analyses the educational programs and features of master's educational programs in sports sciences, which are developed and approved at the leading universities of Austria - Vienna University, Innsbruck University Leopold and Franz. Undergraduates receive competencies in the scientific, technical, medical, humanistic and social-sciences sub-sectors of sports science to solve practical issues in sports, motor activity. They are capable of independent development and implementation of scientific projects. We believe that it is possible to selectively transmit the Austrian system to the national model of higher education institutions, which prepare masters of physical culture and sports, functioning. This model enables effective integration of national education into the European and global educational space.
