Introduction. The country's research and innovation domain and its research potential constitute a definitive formative factor of the knowledge-based economy and are a strategic priority when it comes to the state's economic security and better quality of life for the population. However, despite the Russian government's substantial investment in research and innovation, the field remains underproductive. Methods. The article analyses the approaches and sources of funding for fundamental and exploratory research in the regions, and identifies the existing funding models for fundamental research. To this end, the general research methods were employed, such as scientific observation, scientific description of the subjects and objects of research, and scientific analysis. Results and Discussion. It has been determined that, under the current legislation, there are no opportunities for the regions of the Russian Federation to finance fundamental or exploratory research directly. The writer analyses the case of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), which holds regional competitions in basic research, and uses a model whereby the winning projects receive funding. The model involving a regional research foundation is recognised as the more successful option for the advancement of fundamental and exploratory research in the region. A comparative analysis of the regional RFBR and RSF competitions has revealed the following differences: in the RSF competitions, the regional side is almost entirely excluded from the decision-making process; there are high entry and project performance requirements, so the less advanced regions are forced to compete with the more scientifically advanced contenders. Conclusion. The positive side of the ongoing changes is that the level of research is rising, but at the same time the regions lose a certain important aspect of the fostering of regional researchers: the regional RFBR competitions were a pilot stage launched in order to understand and try out the grant funding system and requirements. And this is why the relevance of the regional research foundations is so high: they help to make up for these setbacks.

Potential Applications

In a knowledge-driven economy there is a growing need for deeper and more productive interaction between higher education and industry. The full exploitation of knowledge requires strategies, incentives, appropriate systems and strong interaction between the transfer processes and the main processes in higher education. In a knowledge-based economy, knowledge is more likely to be created if there is collaboration on the potential applications. In such a knowledge creation process, the creation, dissemination and utilization of knowledge are carried out in quick succession or even simultaneously. Also, basic research and applied research can no longer be separated. Knowledge creation is, in many cases, achieved through long-term partnerships based on trust, commitment and mutual benefit. This paper explores ways of supporting and creating entrepreneurial activity in higher education. It studies the case of Satakunta University of Applied Sciences in Finland.

The contemporary economic imaginary of the ‘knowledge-based economy’ is changing the perception of higher education in Europe. The goals of higher education are changing and reform of institutions is predicted. The present article examines these reforms and conceptualisations of higher education by presenting the results of discourse analysis of 47  international policy documents at the European level and two comprehensive national strategies of the Republic of Slovenia for higher education, research and innovation. Based on the analysis of the European documents, the article suggests that two main discourses are constructed: a) ‘the research-based society and economy’, and b) ‘reforming the university’. These present the emergence of a new idea of higher education at the international and national levels. The article investigates the extent to which these discourses are present in Slovenian higher education policy. The findings show that Slovenian discourse hesitates to embrace them fully. In particular, the idea of the managerial university is marginal in Slovenian discourse.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the determinants of the intention of academic researchers to collaborate on research projects with the carriers of innovation. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach was employed to analyse survey data from 266 stratified sampled researchers and 11 key informants from different disciplines in two of Ghana’s public universities. Analysis of variance results showed a quite high intention to collaborate, with no statistically significant differences across disciplines. Regression results indicate that attitude was the leading predictor of intention to collaborate, and it was explained by the conviction and relevance attached to the capacity of research collaboration to speed up career advancement, to be a source of income and to be a means of advancing research work. Perceived behavioural control, explained by research capability and boundary-spanning skills, and environmental possibility, made up of funding, reward and administrative support, also influenced the intention of respondents to engage in research collaboration. The authors therefore propose that the universities should acknowledge and count research collaboration as a criterion in the promotion of academics and, together with national actors, should spearhead the establishment of a national research and innovation fund, research and innovation award schemes, and the requisite administrative support.

Purpose This study aims to assess current status of innovation and research skill in Myanmar that could contribute to the knowledge-based economy. Design/methodology/approach This paper suggests a critical review-based methodology that studies the knowledge-based economy of Myanmar, a beautiful country with all potential of practicing innovation and research skill. Employability skills among students and professionals make them professionally competent, thereby contributing the country as a knowledge-based economy (KBE). The KBE can ensure that a country becomes the biggest and sustainable economy in the world. Innovation and research-based skills play the most significant roles in novel contributions and consistent growth in all sectors of economy. Thus, it has been studied and concluded that Myanmar has been doing great to encourage, rather practice, the modern research and innovation skills in making it a KBE country. There are few important challenges that create gaps between skill development and KBE nation, which are identified, and the recommendations have been made to overcome the challenges envisaging Myanmar as a KBE. Quality indicators and a set of skills and viable ways of their development are identified. Findings The innovation and research-based skills need great attention in this country. However, the sincere efforts have been already initiated by the Government of Myanmar through few important activities. Originality/value The critical analysis of the study of status of innovation and research skill is based on an honest and extensive study of important documents and recommendations of various reputed organizations and universities. Thus, the reflections of the current status and recommendations are thoroughly novel.

Abstract In this article, models for assessing national intangible resources are analysed through a lecture in the literature, and the best-known evaluation methods are categorized into academic models and models of international organizations, with the most important differences being identified. The European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) and the World Economic Forum annual reports on Global Competitiveness were considered to assess Romania's position in the international context in terms of intangible assets. Despite the importance of intangible resources at national level and the fact that they are an important factor in determining economic growth in the current knowledge-based economy, this article concludes that Romania's position in the international context regarding intangible assets is very weak, with many weak points in research and innovation performance compared to other EU Member States. Therefore, there is a need in our country to re-evaluate the areas where all efforts need to be focused to stimulate innovation performance, to properly manage national intangible resources, a crucial process for improving the quality of life.

Modern biotechnology is widely regarded as information technology, a new wave of knowledge-based economy. It is one of the key technologies of the 20th century, with potentially a versatile range of applications, such as healthcare, agriculture and industrial processes. Simultaneously, biotechnology and pharmacy are the strongest fields in the currently funded basic research which contributes to progress in other sciences.According to the European Parliament’s report “Life sciences and biotechnology – A Strategy for Europe”, it is taken for granted that modern biotechnology offers unique opportunities of satisfying many human needs. Biotechnology could thus serve the European Union as a great contribution to the achievement of its policy objectives of economic growth and job creation, public health, environmental protection and sustainable development.In the following years, life sciences and biotechnology industry could potentially become the major areas of science, industry and employment and could improve the quality of life through innovative medical applications, upgrading of industrial bases of Europe, and better environment.This article aims at presenting regional differences in the development of biotechnology in Europe. Delimitation of regions will take place both on the basis of academic achievement in the field and the location of the biotechnology industry in Europe. An attempt will also be made to link the development of biotechnology with other markers of socio-economic regions of Europe.

Therefore, in 2000 inLisbon the heads of EU countries accepted the common economic and social strategy for thetransformation of EU into the most dynamic and competitive economy in the world. To reach thisgoal a quick transformation into knowledge-based economy, the development of informationsociety and the increase of economic innovation are planned. The following article presents the steps France is taking in the framework of National ReformProgramme based on “social increase”. It assumes that in the area of research and innovationthe increase of private investment and the increase of effectiveness of public research and helpin popularizing innovations in economy are planned. The main aim of the programme is tocoordinate public research and intensify the cooperation with enterprises and developmentof innovation and industrial politics. The plans to reach these aims consist of the change the labor law, concessions, better access to funds, the promotion of IT and the increase of funds forlocal development and the improvement of technical infrastructure.The third priority, “the formation of economy based on knowledge”, distinguishes threespheres of enterprises. One of them is “the stimulation of research and innovation” which dealswith:–-the increase of funds and effectiveness of public research by means of better formulationand estimation of scientific politics–- the development and popularization of French scientific achievements, the improvementof attractiveness of scientific career and the integration of French research system in Europe–- the development of science by means of projects and the improvement of effectivenessof public-private cofinancing.Apart from the steps taken, spatial differentiation of development of R+D sector will be analyzed.

The last three decades have seen a massive expansion of China's visual culture industries, from architecture and graphic design to fine art and fashion. New ideologies of creativity and creative practices have reshaped the training of a new generation of art school graduates. This is the first book to explore how Chinese art students develop, embody, and promote their own personalities and styles as they move from art school entrance test preparation, to art school, to work in the country's burgeoning culture industries. The book shows the connections between this creative explosion and the Chinese government's explicit goal of cultivating creative human capital in a new “market socialist” economy where value is produced through innovation. Drawing on years of fieldwork in China's leading art academies and art test prep schools, the book combines ethnography and oral history with analyses of contemporary avant-garde and official art, popular media, and propaganda. Examining the rise of a Chinese artistic vanguard and creative knowledge-based economy, the book sheds light on an important facet of today's China.
