Abstract The statutory mission of a university, in addition to the creation of scientific knowledge and education, lies in the cooperation with the economic sector through the transfer of knowledge and technology. The effectiveness of this process directly affects the affluence of any given State’s economy. Owing to the new amendments to the Act on Higher Education, many barriers that hinder commercialisation of knowledge in Poland have been brought down. Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń sets an excellent example in this respect having established a special purpose entity, which has already managed to set up thirteen spin-off companies in just 18 months.

Technological Transfer

In the context of the need for sustainable development of the national economy and joining the group of leading countries — technology suppliers, the organization of a technology transfer system, which ensures the transition of the results of innovative activities from the stage of scientific research to the stage of practical application, becomes one of the most important tools for the scientific and technological development of the country. Technology transfer is a rather complex system with a sufficient variety of participants and resources, which are the “tool of the initiative and communication plan” that promote and are necessary for continuous innovation in the modern economy. The tools and mechanisms of technology transfer are discussed in the article, a model for the implementation of international technology transfer in UkrISTEI through the Automated system for the formation of interstate information resources, the International technological platform for the technology transfer of collective use, the Interregional Office for the Transfer of Knowledge and Technologies, the Open Innovation Platform was presented; these objects are participating parts in export and import of innovative technologies and form a modern mechanism for the transfer of these technologies between countries. The process of technological transfer necessary to assess the benefits obtained as a result of technology transfer and ways to achieve these benefits has been investigated. The authors of the article presented the relevance of scientific research in the field of technological transfer, which is explained by the following reasons: effective organization of the technology transfer process contributes to an increase in the implementation of state innovation programs in relation to the modernization and innovation of the real economy; technology transfer facilitates the continuous movement of research and development results (projects) into the industrial sector of the economy; the efficiency of technological transfer makes it possible to accelerate the formation of scientific, technological and industrial ties, as well as to strengthen the position of national production in the world market of science-intensive developments.

Scientific research is becoming increasingly important in higher education, as it helps students to understand scientific knowledge and provides tools to construct and interpret the meaning of what science provides. This descriptive study compares the use of scientific knowledge by university according to age, entrance route and type of establishment, and verifies the possible relationships between variables. A questionnaire measuring the use of scientific knowledge (information search, knowledge transfer and knowledge contribution) was administered to 187 university students. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the use of scientific knowledge by indicator and in the total scores among the three universities. A positive correlation was observed between age with knowledge contribution and type of school and knowledge transfer with type of school. It is concluded that the type of school could be relevant to obtain better results in the contribution and transfer of scientific knowledge, although age could also contribute.

The Creation

Currently, most of the students of the different Institutions of Higher Education have a social commitment, which is to develop new technologies that contribute improvements in the daily life of the people. The main objective of this proposal is to create an interface that measures the needs of the company and translates them into areas of opportunity and development for universities and to implement projects in the classroom aimed at industries and thereby bring innovations to processes, products, among others. Currently, at the Polytechnic University of Gómez Palacio, students from five different specialties are being worked on, which innovate in the creation of new products, which can be patented or implemented in the industry. Another important feature to highlight is the fact that currently there is no way to protect the authorship of students, in addition to the fact that when delivering completed projects completely, the use that will be given to these products is unknown. It is for this reason that the creation of a technology transfer center is proposed; with it, it would be promoting the innovation of projects and active participation of companies, with the support of the institution.

The Creation

The successful implementation of the Strategy for the development of the sphere of innovation activity for the period up to 2030 involves taking into account the peculiarities of the organization of management of the creation, protection of intellectual property rights objects (IPRO) and technology transfer. Therefore, the article is aimed at studying these aspects in scientific institutions and developing effective proposals in this context. The article considers the importance of the role of objects of intellectual property rights in the activities of scientific institutions and the need for full functioning in these institutions of the units for technology transfer, innovation activity and intellectual property. The authors examine the problems that hinder the development of such units in scientific institutions and institutions of higher education. Based on the research of the experience of the aforementioned units in both domestic and foreign scientific institutions, it is recommended to introduce and develop in Ukraine mechanisms of the State support for innovation activities, technology transfer, commercialization of research results, intellectual property objects taking into account the experience of the EU Member States, technologically developed countries, directed towards developing innovations in business; combining business and scientific institutions, higher education institutions for research and development for transfer of technologies in the interests of enterprises; support of high-tech industries; development of innovative activities at the regional level. Important issues, in particular, are the development of model agreements for research and development with various options for the distribution of intellectual property rights between scientific organizations and national or foreign counterparties, which would take into account the international practice of concluding such agreements; development of provisions defining the peculiarities of creation and use of intellectual property objects by employees of the NAS of Ukraine who work in foreign projects and scientific institutions, as well as foreign specialists conducting research and development in institutions of the NAS of Ukraine. The nuances of management of the creation, protection of objects of intellectual property rights and technology transfer in scientific institutions related to the innovative attractiveness of enterprises are planned to be highlighted in further scientific research.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. The strategy of innovation development in Ukraine envisages the creation of innovative ecosystem of higher education institutions. Analysis of the current state of interaction between science, business and the state in Ukraine shows that most of the technologies and developments created as a result of scientific and technical activities of higher education institutions have not yet been implemented in the real economy. Communication interaction between representatives of higher school and enterprises involves the initiation of the innovation ecosystem. Practical implementation of conceptual model of Hackathon-ecosystem of technology transfer in higher education institution will allow to move to a new level of innovative development of higher education institution.METHODS. The study used: the DFD method for constructing a context diagram and diagram 1 level of functioning of the Hackathon ecosystem of technology transfer in higher education institution; information and technological approaches to the project management of HETT creation in the university to ensure effective management of project data flow; qualitative and operational communication between the project stakeholders.FINDINGS. The developed conceptual model of Hackathon-ecosystem of technology transfer in higher education institutions allows to take into account the specifics of functioning of higher education. The proposed block diagram of the initialization project of the creation of the Hackathon-ecosystem of technology transfer consists of 7 stages, which allows to take into account the specifics of the university. The optimal composition of stakeholders of the Hackathon-ecosystem of technology transfer in higher education institutions is defined: initiator, manager, team, customer, curator, owner, competitors, sponsor, authorities, community groups, consumers, organizations, suppliers and contractors.CONCLUSION. Practical implementation of the developed conceptual model of Hackathon-ecosystem of technology transfer in higher education institutions allows to generate ideas in accordance with market requirements and implement the most effective; to determine the needs and interests in establishing cooperation between representatives of higher education and business; to determine the compliance of the prototypes created with the needs of stakeholders and will provide feedback regarding the functioning of Hackathon-ecosystem of technology transfer.

Abstract. Although the development of research competency is an important goal of higher education in social sciences, instruments to measure this outcome often depend on the students’ self-ratings. To provide empirical evidence for the utility of a newly developed instrument for the objective measurement of social-scientific research competency, two validation studies across two independent samples were conducted. Study 1 ( n = 675) provided evidence for unidimensionality, expected differences in test scores between differently advanced groups of students as well as incremental validities over and above self-perceived research self-efficacy. In Study 2 ( n = 82) it was demonstrated that the competency measured indeed is social-scientific and relations to facets of fluid and crystallized intelligence were analyzed. Overall, the results indicate that the test scores reflected a trainable, social-scientific, knowledge-related construct relevant to research performance. These are promising results for the application of the instrument in the evaluation of research education courses in higher education.

SUMMARY The recent extensive literature on exploration and the resulting scientific advances has failed to highlight the contribution of Austrian enterprise to the study of natural history. The leading role of Joseph II among the neutral powers which assumed the carrying trade of the belligerents during the American War of Independence, furthered the development of collections for the Schönbrunn Park and Gardens which had been set up on scientific principles by his parents. On the conclusion of peace, Joseph entrusted to Professor Maerter a world-encompassing mission in the course of which the Chief Gardener Franz Boos and his assistant Georg Scholl travelled to South Africa to collect plants and animals. Boos pursued the mission to Isle de France and Bourbon (Mauritius and Reunion), conveyed by the then unknown Nicolas Baudin. He worked at the Jardin du Roi, Pamplemousses, with Nicolas Cere, or at Palma with Joseph Francois Charpentier de Cossigny. The linkage of Austrian and French horticultural expertise created a situation fraught with opportunities which were to lead Baudin to the forefront of exploration and scientific research as the century closed in the upheaval of the Revolutionary Wars.
