Organization Of Work Of A University’S Innovative Infrastructure

In the second half of the twentieth century in the United States, and then in other countries around the world, there appeared a so-called innovative direction of the university. The roots of this phenomenon were, among others, the growing demand from the economy for technologies developed inside a university. Prerequisite for the implementation of the results of research activities was the task of ensuring the national defense. Diffusion and dissemination of technologies have caused, subsequently, the transfer of a part of them into the category of intangible assets (IA) of commercial structures. Similar processes were running parallel in our country as well., More than 60 years ago, leading Soviet scientists offered a principally new system of students’ training, basing on close collaboration between education, science and industry to address fundamentally new tasks of strengthening the defense and development of new trends in the industry. This idea has afterwards proved its viability and high efficiency. The authors present their vision on the development of the classical university concept and the establishment of the innovative part of the modern higher education school activity. Areas of organizational development are systematized, the theoretical justification, the financial management of modern techniques applied in an innovation department is presented.. It is expected that the development of this issue will beneficially impact the activities of universities, and as a result, their position in the universities ranking. The presented work has been performed in the frame of the Federal Program «Personnel»
