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.

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.

Key Events

This article examines the key events leading to the creation of the California higher education system and Clark Kerr’s influential concept the “multiversity.” The wide, uncritical reception of this term requires explanation, which the essay explores both in terms of Kerr’s 1963 book, The Uses of the University, and in terms of its impact even on historical scholarship about American higher education. The essay concludes by finding the multiversity a highly selective (not an inclusive) standard and a latter-day extension of a pragmatic ideology with a long history and many unacknowledged problems.

This study surveyed customer experience management (CEM) and student’s loyalty in higher education institution (HEI) sector using a private university in Ogun State, Nigeria as a case study. The primary intent of this study was to determine the roles of humanic and mechanic clues on student’s loyalty. The two hypotheses formulated to address the research questions and objectives raised in this study were analysed with Categorical Regression, which is also known as CATREG analysis. This study applied survey research design and the data were spawned via designed questionnaire. An overall of 215 copies of the questionnaires were regained from the student of the private university in Ogun State. Multi-stage sampling methods were engaged in this study. The research findings of this study show that mechanic clues significantly influence students’ retention, while humanic clues significantly influence students’ disposition to endorse the institution of higher education to others. As part of the recommendations of the study, it was suggested that the university management should deliberately focus on mechanic clues in terms of providing a conducive environment, especially one that is clean for its students at all times.

This paper presents a research on students’ attitudes towards the use of Wikipedia in teaching. The sample was comprised of students from the Pedagogical Faculty in Vranje, a higher education institution affiliated with the University of Niš, Serbia. Students were assigned to write articles on Wikipedia as an alternative to writing their standard term papers. That way the Wikipedia content became significantly enriched. They positively evaluated Wikipedia as a teaching tool. The results confirmed that students preferred creating articles on Wikipedia to writing standard term papers. Those results may contribute significantly to further improvement and modernization of university teaching.
