A Company

UNISPIN is a project designed to promote university spin-off companies among the universities and regions of Europe. In this context, a university spin-off is a company that uses technology developed in a higher education institution for its start-up. From the experience of the UNISPIN scheme, it is clear that one of the most important prerequisites for a spinoff programme in an institution is the existence of an entrepreneurial climate. In this paper, the authors first discuss the development of an entrepreneurial climate and the spin-off potential of universities. They then look at UNISPIN and its approach before analysing effective ‘tools’ for the creation of a positive culture and the implementation of a systematic programme for the creation of university spin-off companies.

This chapter presents the findings of an in-depth analysis through several qualitative research studies, pointing out the key issues in relation to succeeding in developing effective and sustainable institutional virtual campuses and E-Learning provision initiatives. An appropriate balance between the issues concerning technology, organisation and pedagogy, the TOP triangle model, is needed, although every higher education institution is different and develops its activity in a particular context. In addition, the design and implementation of a strategic plan for such initiatives is highly recommended.

The article is aimed at developing the conceptual principles for the creation and functioning of innovation-active university (IAU) as a modern strategic model of higher education institution in conditions of transformation and digitalization of society. A number of problems and contradictions are allocated and systematized, causing the need to transform the traditional university into an innovation-active, entrepreneurial structure, the activity of which consists in the interaction of the university with the economy, public administration bodies and society. It is determined that the formation of a new paradigm for the development of the higher education system raises the need for innovation-active universities in the form of entrepreneurial organizations that have a resource willingness to promote accelerated development of both the economy and society through intensive transfer of new, generated at the university knowledge and technology on the basis of partnership with key stakeholders. On the basis of studying the conceptual basis of the emergence and development of the IAU, a number of hypotheses of building an innovation-active university were developed, a system of conceptual provisions and principles of its functioning was formed. The purpose and objectives of the innovation-active university are defined, the system-forming directions of its innovation activity are allocated and characterized. On the basis of the carried out researches, the framework for the creation and development of the IAU was formed, containing a list of components of the internal environment and the factors that ensure their support on the basis of development of entrepreneurship and innovation. Prospects for further research in this direction are the development of a mechanism for the functioning of an innovation-active university, which will ensure the effective transformation of higher education institution on the basis of innovation and entrepreneurship development and will contribute to maintaining a high level of its competitiveness in the educational space.

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.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. The development of the innovation ecosystem is one of the main vectors of development of the Ukrainian economy. One of the main elements of such policy are higher education institutions. Organizational method is an effective transition to the project approach of technology transfer management. The use of the organizational method implies the creation of a new organizational structure in the higher education institution. Such structure can be the creation of organizational unit – Hackathon-ecosystem of technology transfer, the main task of which will be the management of technology transfer projects.METHODS. The study used methods of expert evaluation and questionnaire survey of stakeholders using closed and open-ended questions; feedback grids – to diagnose the effectiveness of the created prototype of the Hackathon ecosystem; Pareto diagrams – to analyze the information by determining the total score of the survey results; A / B testing – to choose between the existing version of the site and the created prototype; usability testing – to determine the degree of convenience and intuitive interface prototype.FINDINGS. The method of creating a hackathon-ecosystem of technology transfer in higher education institution with elements of design thinking is proposed. The work of new structural unit allows to determine the needs, interest, preferences and priorities of university stakeholders. Such stakeholders are university's employees, business representatives and the state. Tools of design-thought (observation, survey, generation and selection of ideas, prototyping) of stakeholders allow to build an optimal prototype of Hackathon-ecosystem of technology transfer in higher education institution.CONCLUSION. Determination of compliance of the prototype of Hackathon-ecosystem of technology transfer in higher education institution with the needs of stakeholders allows to get feedback on directions of improvement of innovative work of university in general and new organizational structure, in particular. Questioning of technology transfer stakeholders in Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design allowed to create an optimal user-friendly and intuitive interface of Hackathon ecosystem prototype, corresponding to stakeholder needs.
