With the Law nº 11.892 of 2008, Brazilian´s professional education acquired new status, based on the conception of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (FIs). In essence, FIs have the responsibility to stimulate applied research in the development of technical and technological solutions; entrepreneurship; and scientific and technological development with a view to innovative processes. Despite their intrinsic proximity to the productive sector, giving them an environment conducive to the development of intellectual assets, some FIs still have difficulties in managing innovation. Conversely, some of these institutions have developed mechanisms to promote innovation management and the improvement of knowledge protection indicators developed in their locus. In this perspective, the FIs of the Northeast region of Brazil stand out, through their Technological Innovation Centers, presenting the best Intellectual Property (IP) safeguard indexes between the years 2008 to 2016. In this sense, the present work aims to present the innovation actions of the FIs of the referred region that culminated in a greater protection of IP, and may serve as a reference for other institutions in the network.

Throughout history the development of the countries has been generated mainly by the impulse in two complementary axes: Science and Technology, and Trade. At present we are experiencing an exponential scientific and technological development and the Economy in all its fronts is driven by the intensive application of technology. According to these considerations, this research tries to expose the development of Innovation Management as a transversal mechanism to promote the different socioeconomic areas and especially those supported by engineering. To this end, use will be made of Technology Watch in order to identify the advances of the main research centres related to innovation in the world. Next, there will be an evaluation of the main models of Innovation Management and related methodologies that expose some of the existing Innovation Observatories in the world to finally make a proposal for Innovation Management applicable to the reality of Peru, so that it can be taken into consideration by stakeholders (Government, Academy, Business and Civil Society) committed to Innovation Management in the country

Kebbi state and Nigerian educational system as indicated in the national policy on education are oriented towards scientific and technological development of the state and nation in general, among other values. Since the acquisition of sound knowledge, particularly science and technology, is crucial for individual and societal development. The paper seeks to philosophically examine the effectiveness of Kebbi state’s school system in providing sound scientific and technological knowledge to their products, with particular reference to Science and Technical schools. The method of philosophical analysis was adopted in undertaking the study. Although some traces of pragmatist's and empiricist’s educational ideas could be found enshrined in Kebbi State’s guiding policy on education, science and technology, a number of implementation problems render the practice ineffective. Thus, the paper highlighted the need to ensure that practice is in consistence with the policy to ensure the acquisition of sound scientific knowledge.

As the Soviet Union collapsed, science and technology policy in Russia turned out to be out of the decision-makers’ attention focus. The socio-economic transformations of the early 1990s negatively affected the scientific and research organizations, which led to a gradual stagnation in the development of scientific knowledge. By the mid-1990s it had posed a threat to the whole scientific potential of the country. Such a crisis triggered debates on what measures should be taken to reorganize state science and technology policy. The reorganization was marked by the practice of goal-setting, a process based on both historical background and socio-economic tasks of a specific time period with all the participants sharing common perspective of the future. This article is an overview of the key program and strategic documents adopted in the period from the mid-1990s till the late 2010s. These documents reflect the evolution of state priorities for scientific and technological development. The analysis of these documents allows us to trace how the scientific and technical policy of the Russian Federation has been transformed from the principle of preserving and supporting the already existing scientific potential to the principle of finding response to specific challenges.

AbstractThis paper introduces some of Georg Simmel's neglected reflections on modern science and technology and their implications for the understanding of the development of technology in modern societies in general. Using Simmel's perspective on the production of side effects via accumulating non-knowledge as a touchstone, this paper suggests how unexpected occurrences can be incorporated into a model of scientific and technological development that includes the re-cursive handling of "surprises." Simmel, therefore, outlines his understanding of progress as an innovative crisis, where unexpected occurrences—both positive and negative—are positioned at the core of modern science and technology and are not understood as mere side efiects.

The article deals with scientific and methodological substantiation and description of the competency model of a modern leader and manager in scientific and technological sphere. This model has been developed by the authors on the initiative of the Coordinating Council for Youth Affairs in Scientific and Educational Spheres of the Presidential Council for Science and Education in the framework of the managers’ contest “Leaders of Russia” (specialization “Science”, season 2019– 2020). The competency model is aimed at improving the efficiency of solving the problems of scientific and technological development of Russia by overcoming the lack of personnel which is ready not only to conduct research at the world level, but also to take responsibility for the formation of priorities for scientific and technological development that meet the interests of Russia, as well as for their implementation. The proposed model is the first of its kind developed and tested system of competencies for improving leadership and management potential of Russian science.

Scientific and technological development seriously affects all socio-economic processes in the modern world. In this paper. The main trends in employment and education in the context of technological changes are analyse in the article. The highlighting of trends in relevant areas in developed countries is the priority. Conclusions regarding structural changes in employment are made; in particular, tendencies for a decrease in permanent employment among middle-skilled workers and a deterioration in the situation for unskilled workers are identified. An important factor is the transition to part-time employment. New situation requires new approaches to the organization of education, including the development of flexible, professional education, focused on the needs of areas of activity that are developing rapidly. The final part of the paper contains brief discussion of the situation in Ukraine in the spheres of employment and training. Deindustrialization in the past three decades has had a negative impact on the structure of employment and the specialization of university graduates. The emigration of young people is becoming an increasingly important factor affecting the labour market. It is concluded that for Ukraine, which is included in the international division of labour as a “junior partner,” the choice of the right strategy for specializing in economic activity and in the field of training (education) in the face of growing competition is an extremely important task.

The role of scientific communications in scientific and technological development of the country is studied in the article. It is shown that the improvement of interaction in the scientific community directly depends on increasing the efficiency of modern science. At the international level, efficiency is associated with the search for a balance of local and international participation in scientific activities, an optimal balance of fundamental and applied research, commercialization of research and development. Russian state policy in the field of science is aimed at implementing priorities, one of which is the formation of a system of scientific communications, as well as the formation of a model for international cooperation and international integration in the field of research.

Currently, there is a complex system of science governing in Russia, which incorporates programs and goals defining mechanisms and documents, as well as government tools of support for science for selected challenges and risks. However, Russian science has an issue of low mobility and scarce essential resources. For example, the amount of funding of science and research in Russia does not allow for the technological breakthrough if compared to figures of the countries, leading in scientific and technological development. With the state budget providing two thirds of the gross expenditure on R&D, it remains the main source of funding for science and research. The Government of Russia has still not reached the goals of making research, development, and engineering in Russia attractive to investors, and creating the financial basis of technological breakthrough with the significant ratio of non-budgetary funds. To analyze the existing problems in the field of science and technology in Russia, The Russian Research Institute of Economics, Politics and Law in Science and Technology (RIEPL) hosted a scientific and practical conference "Scientific and Technological development of the Russian Federation: Resources, Results, Prospects." The discussion pertained to topics of science popularization and improvement of the status of science; development of the shared scientific infrastructure; cooperation between universities, scientific organizations, businesses, and government; science diplomacy; regional development of science in Russia; the usage of international scientometrics databases, and statuary and regulatory basis of scientific work. Following the conference, the list of proposals for the development of state policy in the field of science and technology has been prepared. This list can be used by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation to determine transformation directions for the governance system of scientific and technological development.

This article aims to analyze the execution Human Resources Program in Strategic Areas (RHAE) in Espírito Santo State seeking to understand the reasons why such Program did not contemplate the number of projects planned. The RHAE Program uses a set of technological development grants and its purpose is to financially support qualified professionals in research and development (R&D) activities to work directly in companies, in addition to developing and training human resources that contribute to applied research projects or technological development. In addition to the literature review, the documentary research was based on documents made available by the Scientific and Technological Development Council (CNPQ) and the Foundation for Research Support - (Fapes), the latter agency being the executor of the program in Espirito Santo State. The results showed that the main challenge in the execution of the program in the state of Espírito Santo is related to the difficulty of hiring qualified personnel compatible with the amount made available by the Program grants in the period.
