The article deals with the structure and conditions of national innovation system of Ukraine, trends and conditions of generation of knowledge. In Ukraine, the potential of the subsystem for generating and disseminating knowledge is not used effectively enough, although there are significant prerequisites for its development. The sub-index of education of the Index of Knowledge Economy in Ukraine is quite high compared to the sub-index of information and communication technologies development. Analysis of the sub-indexes of the Global Competitiveness Index shows that Ukraine consistently occupies a fairly high position in terms of human development, but the value of the sub-index of macroeconomic stability in the country is unsatisfactory. Ukraine faced obstacles to the formation of a third-generation national innovation system, some of which it inherited from the Soviet Union. The national innovation system can become a field for the development of stable economic growth of the country. Therefore, by 2025 it is planned to implement the Concept of development of the national innovation system, which includes a subsystem of knowledge generation and dissemination. The article analyzes the purpose and objectives of the Concept, presents the possible consequences of implementation in three scenarios. Since the implementation of the Concept is only partial, the article considers the factors that hinder it. The structure of the national innovation system, which consists of two subsystems, is considered. One of them is the subsystem of knowledge generation and dissemination. It is represented in Ukraine by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, universities, and research centers. The structure of the National Academy of Sciences is considered separately in the article. More attention is paid to the activities of higher education institutions, which today not only involves the dissemination of knowledge, but also the generation of new business ideas and innovative solutions. The article substantiates that at the regional level, local governments need to adopt international experience in solving socio-economic problems with the assistance of academic entrepreneurship. It is noted that among the important areas of development of the regions of Ukraine is smart specialization and increasing the digitalization of education and other spheres of public activity. Consolidation of efforts of local self-government bodies, state authorities, business structures, educational and scientific institutions should be the key to success.

This paper seeks to combine studies of émigré scientists, Cold War American science, and cultural histories of mathematical communities by analyzing Richard Courant’s participation in the National Academy of Sciences interacademy exchange program with the Soviet Union in the 1960s. Following his dismissal by the Nazi government from his post as Director of the Göttingen Mathematics Institute in 1933, Courant spent a year at the University of Cambridge, and then immigrated to the United States where he developed the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. Courant’s participation with the National Academy of Sciences interacademy exchange program at the end of his career highlights his ideologies about the mathematics discipline, the international mathematics community, and the political role mathematicians could play in contributing to international peace through scientific diplomacy. Courant’s Cold War scientific identity emerges from his activities as an émigré mathematician, institution builder, and international “ambassador.”

To ensure and strengthen the development of high-tech R&D and its industrial applications in the long-term perspective, information and communication technologies (ICT) cooperation tools with national and international institutions, network associations and firms are of great importance. To solve this problem, a joint systematic and coordinated work to develop institutions that can provide crucial support to innovation process is crucial. For these purposes, higher educational institutions (HEI) innovation activities information and communication support and technological development analysis are critically important. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing ICT toolkit, which is used to manage R&D and various industrial applications, and to develop a conceptual framework for the implementation of these tools for the participation of universities in innovation networks. To answer this question, authors begin by taking a closer look at the new role of universities in the development of knowledge generation in a global environment, as well as problems and tendencies under conditions of postindustrial society. The new role of universities in knowledge generation in the global environment development, and problems and tendencies under the conditions of postindustrial society were outlined. Modern ICT components, which are necessary for universities to participate in the innovation networks, were analyzed. Some cases of foreign experience in the scientific and innovation networks of current prototypes of Industry 4.0 development were discussed, and the possibilities of its adaptation to national innovation system formation conditions in Ukraine were identified. By theoretical and empirical examining, the authors propose more complete understanding of modern ICT components, which are necessary for universities to participate in innovation networks. Cases of foreign experience in the scientific and innovation networks of current prototypes of Industry 4.0 development were investigated. Moreover, the evidence from this study suggests a variety of factors related to the possibilities to adapt ICT tools to national innovation system formation in Ukraine.

This paper focuses on the innovation development of regional economy within the national innovation system (NIS) which is viewed as an organizational form of implementing innovation capacity. The structural and functional approach used by the author allows distinguishing the NIS elements: science and education (research and development sector acts as an organizational form of the innovation capacity implementation), business sector (innovation commercialization sector acts as an organizational form of implementing the innovation capacity), and innovation infrastructure (knowledge transfer sector acts as an organizational form of implementing the innovation capacity). The regional innovation system (RIS) is structured on levels, functions, and subjects and is presented as a number of subsystems: first, institutional subsystem, organizational and administrative subsystem, finance and investment subsystem (‘management-regulation’ function ensures external opportunities and incentives for implementing the innovation capacity), second, research and development subsystem, education subsystem (‘knowledge generation’ function ensures internal opportunities for implementing the innovation capacity), third, infrastructure and information subsystem (‘knowledge transfer’ function ensures implementing the innovation capacity resource element), forth, production and technology subsystem, cluster and sector subsystem, and resource subsystem (‘innovation implementation’ function ensures the result of implementing the innovation capacity). The author distinguishes the elements of the innovation implementation structure in accordance with the RIS subsystems.

An essential determinant of the economic growth of regions and amalgamated hromada is budgetary security, the weakening of which causes the strengthening of financial imbalances of territories and the emergence of budget risks and threats in different time lags. The paper aims to assess budgetary security of regions and amalgamated hromada in Ukraine in an unstable economy. The assessment of budgetary security and risks of areas and amalgamated hromada is carried out based on a multidimensional statistical analysis of budget indicators, calculation of the aggregate indicator of budget risks, and the level of budgetary security by a multiplicative method. The study sample included the regions of Ukraine and 22 amalgamated hromada in terms of cities of regional significance, urban, township, and rural territorial assemblies, which are represented by different areas in Ukraine. According to the assessment, Poltava, Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Mykolaiv oblasts are characterized by a low level of budget risks, which indicates high budget stability. On the other hand, the strengthening of budget imbalances, deterioration of the strength of local budgets, in particular in 2019–2020 in urban amalgamated hromada (Druzhbivska and Malovyskivska (6-8 points)); in village areas (Malynivska (5 points), Steblivska (7-7 points)); in rural amalgamated hromada (Chmyrivska (8-7 points)). The study results can serve as an analytical basis in the practice of local governments in the development and justification of regional and local budget policies, the nature of inter-budgetary relations, the formation of regional development strategies, etc. AcknowledgmentsThe study has been conducted within the framework of Applied Research “Financial determinants of the provision of economic growth in the regions and Amalgamated hromada based on the behavioral economy” with the support of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine (M. Dolishniy Institute of Regional Research of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the Grant Reg. No. 2020.02/0215, 2020–2022).
