Methodological Approach to Determining the Contribution of Patent and Innovation Activity of Universities to the Country Scientific and Technological Development

Scientific and technical activities in Russia are mainly concentrated in scientific organizations and universities. Taking into account the tasks of improving the mechanisms of public administration in the field of intellectual property, the development of tools to stimulate extra-budgetary financing of R & D, as well as the use of scientific results in the production activities of industrial enterprises, it is advisable to identify higher education organizations with significant performance in scientific and technical activities as well as creating and using RID, or leaders in patent and innovation activity, as well as creating and using RID. The tasks set in the study were solved using methods of retrospective analysis, methods of empirical research, including international and Russian approaches to ranking national and foreign universities. The proposed methodology of ranking Russian higher education organizations by the patent and innovation activity can be used for comparative assessment of scientific and technical competence in terms of Strategy of scientific and technological development areas of research. That, in turn, can be used to allocate funds and develop regulatory impact mechanisms for the sector of research and development, including universities and industrial enterprises, to stimulate them to effective research and innovation activities within the framework of scientific and production cooperation.
