The article substantiates the importance of the synthesis of new spiritual values and traditional cultural and historical objects for increasing human capital asset in knowledge-based economy conditions, which necessitates an increase in their funding. The role of the cultural capital as a theoretical basis of heritage research is revealed. It is demonstrated that the concept of the cultural capital, linking the economic and cultural spheres, leads to an understanding of the regularity of expectations of return on investment in cultural heritage objects and thus develops integration processes: objects are involved in economic activity, becoming attractive to investors. The hypothesis of convergence of cultural and historical heritage objects financing models was put forward and confirmed, the results of which are: the formation of a new financing model and heritage ecosystem, including actors in the process, technology, funding and institutional environment. The features of a new model of cultural heritage financing are revealed: the use by the state, along with budgetary allocations, of indirect support measures through tax preferences and social technologies, as well as the attraction of private investment through public-private partnerships, charity, grants, endowment funds.

In the networked information and knowledge-based economy and society, the notions of ‘open’ and ‘openness’ are used in a variety of contexts; open source, open access, open economy, open government, open innovation – just to name a few. This paper aims at discussing openness and developing a taxonomy that may be used to analyse the concept of openness. Are there different qualities of openness? How are these qualities interrelated? What analytical tools may be used to understand openness? In this paper four qualities of openness recurrent in literature and debate are explored: accessibility, transparency, participation and sharing. To further analyse openness new institutional theory as interpreted by Williamson (2000) is used, encompassing four different institutional levels; cultural embeddedness, institutional environment, governance structure and resource allocations. At what institutional levels is openness supported and/or constrained? Accessibility as a quality of openness seems to have a particularly strong relation to the other qualities of openness, whereas the notions of sharing and collaborative economics seem to be the most complex and contested quality of openness in the knowledge-based economy. This research contributes to academia, policy and governance, as handling of challenges with regard to openness vs. closure in different contexts, territorial, institutional and/or organizational, demand not only a better understanding of the concept, but also tools for analysis.

The article substantiates the role of education, puts forward and confirms the hypothesis of the importance and necessity of social partnership for financing and developing education in a knowledge-based economy. To confirm the hypotheses put forward, the evolution of the concepts of social interaction and social responsibility is studied, the laws of social partnership in a knowledge-based economy are substantiated, which allows using the triple helix model to show the need for interaction between the state, universities and corporations to advance along the path of innovative development. The lack of budget funds for the development of education requires the search for other sources of financing of infrastructure facilities for education. The article discusses the use of concessions as a form of public-private partnership in preschool education, which has recently found application in Russia. Based on the study of international best practices, the authors propose using investment funds, in particular, the mechanism of the impact of investment in education as a promising technology.. One of the solutions to these problems is the mutual investment of funds in intellectual property. The formation of endowment funds for financing education and innovation in the knowledge-based economy is also widespread.

Making the cultural and historical heritage of countries available and attractive to a broad public, including in a digital way, is a key to making it survive and be acknowledged and well-maintained in time. Researches and practices show that cultural objects, which are digitalized and promoted, are much more known, visited and attract better investments. Digital tools are more and more used – tools like video presentation, 3D models, interactive photos and video with objects, interactive presentations and games, online tours and life events in social media. Especially, after COVID-19 anti-epidemic measures were imposed, such digital and marketing methods of presentation and promotion became a necessity for museums, cultural institutions, events, festivals and other forms of cultural heritage, in order to continue their existence, work and reach to the public. The paper explores good practices and examples and a variety of media and marketing approaches and methods, which can be used for digital presenting and promotion of cultural heritage, historical objects, places and intangible cultural heritage. Keywords: Digital Marketing; Media; Cultural and Historical Heritage; Presentation; Promotion; Dissemination; Good Practices; Good Examples; Methods; Approaches; Digitalization

Abstract In a knowledge-based economy, initiatives based on the Creative Economy framework are supposed to promote regional economic diversification in developing countries. In Brazil, policy initiatives have focused on those activities with a view to design public policies oriented to reducing socio-economic and regional inequalities, as well as spreading those activities throughout the territory, especially towards less favored regions. Based on the Brazilian experience, this article discusses whether the pre-existing regional distribution of various types of creative activities favors or hinders the reduction of regional inequalities as a result of a policy focused on promoting creative activities and what actions could be adopted to achieve this result. Specifically, the paper discusses whether this expansion can promote an effective reduction of regional inequalities in terms of the number and quality of jobs and wage levels associated with those activities. The analysis suggests that the regional decentralization of creative activities towards less developed regions has been relatively limited in Brazil, as the more developed regions have remained more specialized in trades with higher digital and technological content, while the less developed regions have remained relatively more specialized in activities related to the cultural heritage. To reduce this imbalance, the support of local institutions and S&T infrastructure related to creative activities appears to be very important, which points out to the relevance of comprehensive policies well-adapted to very diverse local realities. This effort should have the impact of new digital-based technologies converge with the strengthening of economic potential of local and regional cultural heritage, by enhancing professional qualification of workers devoted to those activities.

In the knowledge-based economy, the role of intangible factors in providing economic development is increasing, thus mainstreaming research on the methodological foundations forming such factors, as well as the mechanisms of their impact on the state of economies. One of such factors is social capital, which is a set of stable communications within institutional environment, whose work is based on trust. The article aims at revealing the role of social capital in providing economic development, in general, and assessing its impact on Ukraine’s economic development, in particular. The research is based on the principles of the systemic approach and was carried out using such methods as analysis and synthesis, logical generalization, graphical and tabular methods of data presentation, and systematization method. The ways in which social capital influences the development of the economy are analyzed. They can be traced in the reduction of the transaction costs level, government corruptness, and shadow economy; the creation of new available forms of business financing. Using the main indicators of the social capital level, it has become possible to establish relation between social cohesion, social conditions and economic development of states. Ukraine’s place among other states as for its social capital level is considered. Connection between social capital development, the dynamics of economic development, and prosperity index is proven.

The exchange of technologies and technological knowledge — through joint-ventures, partnerships, licensing, cross-licensing, R&D contracts — and the upsurge of markets for technology are main features of the "knowledge-based" economy. Accordingly, companies are gradually changing their aptitude towards technology trading and exchange. This paper discusses the extent of technology licensing in chemicals, and considers the licensing strategies adopted by large chemical companies. Specifically, by analysing the case of Himont — widely involved in licensing its process technology — this paper explores the motivations for technology licensing, the managerial solutions that Himont adopted for licensing its technology, and the implications of this strategy in terms of antitrust policy. One of the main results emerging from the analysis is the role of external technology suppliers. By increasing the potential competition in the downstream product market, they create incentives for incumbent firms to license-out their technologies, and earn additional profits in the market for technology.

The digitization of cultural heritage is a topic that is currently being addressed by a large number of institutions around the world. Issues related to the digitization of historical objects and monuments focus not only on their protection, but also on the presentation of cultural heritage. These are addressed in memorial institutions, but also in universities, schools and, last but not least, in the public and the private sector. However, digitizing objects can present a number of problems. These range from the selection of objects for digitization, through to the selection of a suitable method or scanner. And then there’s the 3D digitization itself to the final modification of the model and its storage. All of this is even before consideration of the possibility of its publication, so it is understandable that it is a long and difficult path. The whole process often does not go without interfering with the digitization in a specific program designed for 3D modelling and hence the need to re-scan objects or their parts or indeed having to try more digitization methods on the object. Sometimes we can find out that 3D scanning for a given object is not a suitable method and try to solve the situation differently – from a mere photograph to photogrammetry or the use of a special RTI method of digitization. The aim therefore of the article is to describe the basic issues and possibilities of 3D digitization of selected smaller artefacts using the example of the digitization of historical clocks. It will also describe the possibilities of 3D digitization, which can serve not only to protect and save but also promote cultural heritage. Last but not least, the aim is to describe and evaluate the methods, procedures and the directly selected 3D tools intended for 3D digitization, which have proven themselves in scanning a selected collection of clocks, borrowed with the kind permission of the Náchod Museum.

In spite of the process of economic integration in Europe, a lot of developed countriessurpass it in the area of industrial development based on the knowledge. Therefore, in 2000 inLisbon the heads of EU countries accepted the common economic and social strategy for thetransformation of EU into the most dynamic and competitive economy in the world. To reach thisgoal a quick transformation into knowledge-based economy, the development of informationsociety and the increase of economic innovation are planned. The following article presents the steps France is taking in the framework of National ReformProgramme based on “social increase”. It assumes that in the area of research and innovationthe increase of private investment and the increase of effectiveness of public research and helpin popularizing innovations in economy are planned. The main aim of the programme is tocoordinate public research and intensify the cooperation with enterprises and developmentof innovation and industrial politics. The plans to reach these aims consist of the change the labor law, concessions, better access to funds, the promotion of IT and the increase of funds forlocal development and the improvement of technical infrastructure.The third priority, “the formation of economy based on knowledge”, distinguishes threespheres of enterprises. One of them is “the stimulation of research and innovation” which dealswith:–-the increase of funds and effectiveness of public research by means of better formulationand estimation of scientific politics–- the development and popularization of French scientific achievements, the improvementof attractiveness of scientific career and the integration of French research system in Europe–- the development of science by means of projects and the improvement of effectivenessof public-private cofinancing.Apart from the steps taken, spatial differentiation of development of R+D sector will be analyzed.

The article examines the institutional process in a regional economy connected with the infrastructure development. We use the neoinstitutional approach to study factors that influence the behavior of government and business in their interaction in the economy. We also use statistical methods to analyze the dynamics of socio-economic development indicators of the subjects of the Russian Federation as well as the results of measures to attract private investment into infrastructure, including the PPP. We chose the city of Moscow and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District as two empirical case studies which differ in economic and geographic conditions, but both demonstrate success in attracting private investment and implementing infrastructure projects. Our conclusions are consistent with a theory that asserts the primacy of institutional environment in relation to project implementation. We make also some practical recommendations for the development of the institutional environment which are acceptable for all regions solving similar problems of infrastructure development.
