Background: Training in microsurgical neuroanatomy is a priority for neurosurgical education. During the 20th century, microsurgical laboratories arose and provided a way to develop surgical skills. Few reports addressed the assembly, construction, and details of a training laboratory. Methods: We have conducted a literature review and searched legislation on the need to plan the structure of the laboratory. Results: We projected and built a laboratory through a public-private partnership. High-tech workstations and instruments were planned to meet the needs of residents, fellows, and student. All steps and materials were in accordance with the Brazilian legislation and articles previously selected. Conclusion: We described our experience and demonstrated the implementation of a micro neurosurgical skills laboratory.

The article provides an analysis of modern trends in building public-private partnership (PPP), gives an overview of key studies devoted to this subject in general and PPPs in the field of space activities in particular. The authors analyze the practice of public-private partnerships in the U. S. and Great Britain on the examples of specific mechanisms, their key features, advantages and disadvantages that determine the possibility of their application in different areas of government-business cooperation in the field of space exploration. In order to find possible ways for direct application or adaptation of this experience in Russia for organizing space exploration PPPs the researchers concluded that the level of high-tech production in this country is insufficient and significant administrative barriers for attracting private sector into the space industry are still present.

The formation of technological platforms, using the advantages of public-private partnership, can be considered as an effective cooperation and partnership tool for the mechanism of implementation of national priorities of high-tech development, including the formation of a sustainable balance of scientific and industrial relations. The functioning of technological platforms in this strategic algorithm will clarify and adjust the priorities of innovative high-tech development and consistent development of the national innovation system. The activation mechanism of the innovative component of the implementation of various projects using public-private partnership could be a policy of consistent motivation of competition in innovation.

PurposeThis paper examines risk and risk management in public–private partnership and private finance initiatives (PPP/PFI). Despite growing interest in PPP/PFI, there are knowledge gaps in the literature. The authors’ aim is to analyse these knowledge gaps and define emerging themes to guide future research agendas.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conduct a systematic literature review from 1990 to 2018 using the Scopus database.FindingsThe authors define six emerging themes: risk definition and types of risks; value for money (VFM) and risk; risk sharing, allocation and transfer; financial risk; contractualisation and renegotiation of risk; and risk management and governance. They proposed a conceptualisation of potential development of PPP/PFI research through the three phases of risk management cycle, i.e. prospective, real time and retrospective. This paper revealed some new aspects that could help to analyse better risk and risk management in PPP/PFI to reach value for money (VFM) and to exploit the potential of PPP/PFI.Originality/valueDespite the increasing attention to PPP/PFI, further researches are required in relation to operational and post-operational risk studies, risk management and control, the role of trust. The authors’ analysis underlines the difficulties in how risk is perceived and how to ascertain VFM. In addition, the authors highlight how the increase of contract renegotiation is changing the provisions with reference to risk assignment creating market distortion. Risk should be managed as a cycle; PPP/PFI would benefit by engaging more with the risk management literature.

The article views the creation of public-private partnership as an important direction in the activation of the innovative type of the development of the economy of Russia. The need to combine the efforts of the public and private business in solving this problem is connected, firstly, with the economic sanctions of the West and not only financial sanctions but also with the refusal to supply high-tech equipment to Russia and, secondly, even more threatening prospects of the dynamics of the innovative development of the manufacturing sector. That is why the main attention is paid to the impact of public-private partnership on the development of integrated business in the context of the implementation of the strategic task of the innovative way of the Russian economy development. It is shown that public-private partnerships are one of the most common instruments for attracting private investments in infrastructure projects both in Russia and abroad. But the format of public-private partnerships for the implementation of Russia's industrial policy in the field of innovation should be used not only for the infrastructure development but also for the development of Russian industrial enterprises and the implementation of national projects.
