Technology transfer is an important element in ensuring the growth of technological development and competitiveness of the modern enterprise. Joint venture as one of the specific forms of technology transfer gives participating companies the opportunity to attract significant investment, new management technologies, stimulates the production process of competitive products and facilitates technological exchange. Today, the problem of participation in various forms of joint ventures, which is an appropriate method of achieving competitive advantage through cooperation, is becoming relevant for the development of domestic enterprises. Solving problematic issues requires detailing the limitations of joint ventures and researching the areas of common interests of its subjects. The aim of the study is to develop an effective model of intensifying technology transfer in the form of joint ventures based on the interaction of partner entities. The spheres of independent interests of the subjects of joint venture are researched and determined, the factors of guaranteed result are determined. The basis for the analysis was the scientific studies of domestic and foreign scientists on this issue. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is a set of principles and methods of scientific research: the principle of systematization and theoretical generalization, methods of structural and functional analysis. The results of the study showed that the conflict of interests of the subjects of joint venture arises in situations where there is a tendency to integration and the subjects expect to get a certain guaranteed result. It has been proved that a necessary condition for ensuring mutually beneficial cooperation of individual joint ventures is the existence of a guarantee of useful results, and partnership within the joint venture is based on common interests and goals to be achieved in the results of activities and aimed at consolidating cooperation of individual participants through joint ventures. The implementation of the developed model of enterprise development based on the intensification of technology transfer, which describes the continuous changes in the process of functioning of the form of joint venture over time, can have a useful effect on its successful operation. The practical value of the model is that individual entities, regardless of their own economic policies and the nature of their interests, have a common area of compromise in which they can conduct joint ventures.

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.

Abstract R&D is one of the most important sources of knowledge and economic growth worldwide, and technology transfer is the principal means to access this knowledge. Nevertheless, market imperfections, externalities, and abusive behaviors have been used by some jurisdictions to justify the enactment of regulations on different contractual categories frequently used to implement this transfer of technology.

Many millions of dollars are invested annually in materials science research and development in U.S. universities. Both the universities and the sponsors, either government or private industry, have enormous incentives for the R&D efforts to become commercial. For private industry a successful development means new or improved products or processes and ultimately more profits. For the government, successful materials development can lead to improved hardware or operations efficiency and lower costs. For a university the payoff can be more than economic.Ideally, successful commercial development leads to royalties paid to the universities in the form of the most precious of assets — Unrestricted or flexible income. Students and faculty can benefit from the additional income, both privately, depending on university policy, and through their departments. However, benefits can also accrue in the form of experience and knowledge gained while participating in the technology transfer process from university to corporation. Students who take part in such efforts gain invaluable experience in preparing and defending patent applications, designing and developing prototypes, and they are exposed to economic and legal issues that are seldom taught in the classroom. They become more valuable graduates. Taking part in a technology transfer case history is a far more effective form of learning than reading about it.These benefits to a university are offset by a number of potentially negative factors. The space, time, personnel, equipment, and deadline pressures involved in commercialization are often beyond the capabilities of a university program. However, these limitations may not be realized until the effort has begun, and it is costly to stop in midstream, as is discussed below.

The efficiency of the brain greatly contributes to a person’s intelligence quotient (IQ), which may ultimately affect one’s social status. Neurophysiological processes and IQ change during a person’s lifetime and depend on a number of factors, including fluid and crystalized intelligence, diet, physical activity and sleep. As described in the literature, the level of fluid intelligence decreases with age. This process can be delayed by implementing mental exercises and physical factors in one’s lifestyle. The SOMECO concept developed in Germany and described in this paper emphasizes the importance of following the most current scientific research in maintaining overall mental health.

Growing human activity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) is driving increasing impacts on the biodiversity of this vast area of the ocean. As a result, the United Nations General Assembly committed to convening a series of intergovernmental conferences (IGCs) to develop an international legally-binding instrument (ILBI) for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of ABNJ [the biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) agreement] under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The BBNJ agreement includes consideration of marine genetic resources (MGR) in ABNJ, including how to share benefits and promote marine scientific research whilst building capacity of developing states in science and technology. Three IGCs have been completed to date with the fourth delayed by the Covid pandemic. This delay has allowed a series of informal dialogues to take place between state parties, which have highlighted a number of areas related to MGR and benefit sharing that require technical guidance from ocean experts. These include: guiding principles on the access and use of MGR from ABNJ; the sharing of knowledge arising from research on MGR in ABNJ; and capacity building and technology transfer for developing states. In this paper, we explain what MGR are, the methods required to collect, study and archive them, including data arising from scientific investigation. We also explore the practical requirements of access by developing countries to scientific cruises, including the sharing of data, as well as participation in research and development on shore whilst promoting rather than hindering marine scientific research. We outline existing infrastructure and shared resources that facilitate access, research, development, and benefit sharing of MGR from ABNJ; and discuss existing gaps. We examine international capacity development and technology transfer schemes that might facilitate or complement non-monetary benefit sharing activities. We end the paper by highlighting what the ILBI can achieve in terms of access, utilization, and benefit sharing of MGR and how we might future-proof the BBNJ Agreement with respect to developments in science and technology.

SummaryThere is growing concern that a substantial proportion of scientific research may in fact be false. A number of factors have been proposed as contributing to the presence of a large number of false-positive results in the literature, one of which is publication bias. We discuss empirical evidence for these factors.

Technology transfer is a useful resource for improving technology and it is widely used in various industrial fields. The application of technology transfer in the construction industry can be viewed via the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). The transfer of technology has been implemented in the construction of the MRT but there are a number of factors and barriers in implementing as well. Therefore, this study attempts to understand the technology transfer in the MRT project in the country and study the factors that influence the process of technology transfer in the MRT project. Data collection was conducted through interviews with respondents involved in technology transfer MRT project namely MRT Corporation Sdn. Bhd. And MMC-Gamuda KVMRT (PDP) Sdn. Bhd. The results showed organisational capabilities, relational capabilities, communications, level of absorptive capacity and technological capabilities, development of skilled human resources and economic advancement are factors that influenced the transfer of technology in MRT project. The findings of this study can be used as a guide for the MRT project in the future to avoid failure in the technology transfer.
