PROBLEMS TO PROVIDE OPEN INNOVATIVE SPACE IN UKRAINE

Abstract

Problem setting. In the global world, with the emergence and spread of new ICTs, the movement to open science, open access is being updated. Their goal is to make data and research findings, innovation discoveries accessible to all citizens, thereby providing a basis for open innovation space in Ukraine, economic growth and Digital Single Market.

Analysis of recent researches and publications. The following foreign and national scientists analyzed separate theoretic and practical aspects of the question of open science as a new paradigm in their researches: G. Androshchuk, V. Vanhaberbeke, K. Boyarinova, D. Oliynyk, G. Korepanov, O. Nosik, V. Nochai, Y. Nikitin, M. Melnyk, B. Santo, G. Chesboro and others.

Target of research. The purpose of the study is to define the task of providing open innovation space in Ukraine on the basis of analysis of theoretical principles, legislative field, existing practices of free science, open access.

Article’s main body. The text of the first report and recommendations of the High Level Panel of Experts of the European Open Science Cloud Commission noted that “Ukraine is slowly joining the Open Science Agenda, the Declaration of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) on building a common digital infrastructure for research and innovation.

In order to make the national research system more effective, the decision of the Board of the Ministry of Education and Science of 2018 approved the “Roadmap for Ukraine’s Integration into the European Research Area (ERA-UA)”, which emphasized that the development of a modern national research system of Ukraine should take place in the context of overall economic reform. Among the main objectives, in addition to enhancing the effectiveness of the national research system at ERA, are: (a) providing open access to cooperation with European research infrastructures by public research institutions, universities and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); b) initiating the accession of Ukraine to the European Charter of Open Access to Research Infrastructures by developing and adopting a relevant regulatory act; c) development of electronic infrastructure and research and open innovation services; d) promoting open access to publications and scientific data.

Conclusions and prospects for the development. Since in the context of globalization processes and digital technologies free science sources of new knowledge have become more mixed, heterogeneous, i.e. diffuse, the efficiency of studying modern trends of open innovation depends on the use of new open models of a single space, the so-called “open target innovation”. It is also confirmed by the fact that for the formation of the ERA, a large excess of basic knowledge at the basic level becomes the basis for open innovation, a regulatory tool for economic transformation and competitiveness at regional and national level.
