Innovation policy and implementation of smart specialisation in Ukraine

ABSTRACT ▼
Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU determines the need to adjust national practices of the innovation policy-making instruments in line with EU standards and principles. EU policy-makers pay special attention to innovative development of the European regions, pursuing development of smart specialisation strategies (S3). The smart specialisation for research and innovation strategies has been mostly applied at the EU countries and regions and the key requirement for regions implementing operational programmes with the European Structural & Investment Funds (ESIF).
A key concept of S3 is focused on support of unique industries or economic activities, which will be associated with the specialization of certain regions. The European Commission (EC) has introduced S3 approach as a new tool to facilitate knowledge based growth in developed regions as well as less developed regions and countries.
The main aim of this article is to apply the methodology of the S3 for preparation of the smart specialization strategy for Ukraine.
According to the RIS 3 Guide, Smart Specialisation Strategies should be designed into six steps: 1) Analysis of the regional/national context and potential for innovation; 2) Governance; 3) Shared Vision; 4) Identification of priorities; 5) Policy mix, roadmaps and action plan; 6) Integration of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. The article presents assessment of R&I systems of Ukraine with regard to mentioned steps and identifies its strengths and weaknesses. Also the authors present the RIS 3 Assessment Wheel which is built on the basis of the six steps and provides a visualisation of the huge amount of information obtained as a result of the assessment.
In the summary, the authors have evaluated barriers that need to be overcome in order to successfully implement smart specialization on national and regional levels in Ukraine.

Science and innovation in Ukraine: approaches to policy making in times of war

ABSTRACT ▼
The full-scale war started by Russia in Ukraine has caused many challenges for economic development, being the latter hardly imaginable without the contribution of research and innovation. Rebuilding R&I becomes another challenge for Ukrainian policymakers. Thus, the purpose of the paper is to analyze the R&I policy of Ukraine during the war caused by Russia and to develop policy recommendations for the postwar recovery. To achieve it, we used several methods, in particular expert opinion generalization, relevant scientific and policy literature analysis, and statistical analysis.
The paper considers three approaches to innovation policy-making at crisis time: produce; procure; repurpose. Currently, Ukraine uses mainly the second one, by buying and receiving modern armament and equipment. Meanwhile, there were some innovative developments in Ukraine, which are not produced in sufficient quantities. After the war, Ukraine will no longer be able to buy armament due to fiscal constraints. Thus, in the short-run period, the government should reorient efforts toward repurposing current developments. However, such an approach is not sustainable in the long-run period, when the development of a broader S&T base is required to create a solid base for further repurposing in emergency cases. The war has caused massive damage to Ukrainian R&I potential, which by now is not fully measured and quantified. There are two types of damage: physical loss of research and innovation infrastructure (e.g. research facilities, and high-tech enterprises) and «brain drain», both of which should be the focus for R&I policymakers. Therefore, a set of policy measures is proposed to address the war-led challenges in R&I.
