Short description of the project
History knows many examples when creativity and originality of an idea became the key to its successful implementation. Currently, innovations are the key factor of existence and progress of any state. It was the purchase of a large number of patents for inventions, which their owners had not fully appreciated, that helped Japan emerge from the crisis after World War II and become one of the world’s leading economies. In addition, higher education institutions have always been the locomotive of economic development, provided they have a strong teaching staff, material and technical base, as well as students and scientists having an original approach to solving typical situations. Thus, an innovative academic entrepreneurship has a huge potential for profit earning and the progress of a country and society. At the same time, it is associated with significant risks in terms of project payback. Comprehensive research in this area will help to coordinate the efforts of specialists from different fields of knowledge, amend the legal framework for the implementation of information projects and improve the conditions for doing business in the field of creating, attracting and implementing innovations. The project is aimed at practice-oriented, legislative drafting activities, conducting of trainings individual programs and micro-courses.
