Abstract

The article emphasizes that in the context of accelerated democratization and European integration, the use of a value model of the management in higher education, based on the university autonomy and their public («third») mission, is urgent for the HEIs of Ukraine. Creating innovations is its integral part. Sweden experience, as a country with a high innovation index, regarding the development of innovation in higher education institutions is analyzed. The country's policy on the organization of research at universities, aimed at strengthening the «strategic» research areas, such as interdisciplinary industrial and social research, is considered. The main initiatives of the country's government, which have helped to strengthen the strategic fields of research activity and stimulate the emergence of new values in the higher education sector, such as entrepreneurship and competitiveness, are given. In the case study a successful example of Uppsala University infrastructure was studied using the HEInnovate method and the following key criteria - governance, potential of HEI/ financing/personnel/initiatives, entrepreneurial education, innovation support, knowledge sharing and collaboration, Internationalization, digital transformation. The main values and cultural guidelines of the institution, its governance at different levels and communication between different stakeholders and university are characterized. The main productive initiatives of the university, aimed at developing the skills and competencies of researchers and students, necessary for the successful implementation of projects, commercialization, and start-ups are considered. A number of factors that have had a positive impact on the innovation potential of Swedish universities as well as on the country's position in global innovation rankings have been identified. It is suggested to use the experience in dealing with innovators and external stakeholders of Uppsala University by Ukrainian research universities for upgrading their infrastructure.
瑞典高等教育创新的发展:以乌普萨拉大学为例
文章强调,在加速民主化和欧洲一体化的背景下,基于大学自治和公共(“第三”)使命的高等教育管理价值模式的使用对乌克兰的高等教育机构来说是迫切的。创新是其组成部分。分析了瑞典作为创新指数高的国家在高等教育机构创新发展方面的经验。审议了旨在加强跨学科工业和社会研究等“战略性”研究领域的国家大学研究组织政策。国家政府的主要举措,这些举措有助于加强研究活动的战略领域,并刺激高等教育部门出现新的价值观,如创业精神和竞争力。在案例研究中,使用HEInnovate方法和以下关键标准研究了乌普萨拉大学基础设施的成功案例-治理,HEI/融资/人员/计划的潜力,创业教育,创新支持,知识共享和协作,国际化,数字化转型。该机构的主要价值观和文化指导方针、其不同层次的治理以及不同利益相关者与大学之间的沟通。考虑到大学的主要生产举措,旨在发展研究人员和学生的技能和能力,这是成功实施项目,商业化和初创企业所必需的。已经确定了一些对瑞典大学的创新潜力以及该国在全球创新排名中的地位产生积极影响的因素。建议乌克兰研究型大学利用与乌普萨拉大学的创新者和外部利益相关者打交道的经验来升级其基础设施。
