Scientific park as innovative environment

Traditional system of management of the National Aviation University is acknowledged by many university staff as being too centralized and over-regulated first of all because the University is a state establishment.

That is why the Scientific Park (SP) is intended to become an alternative and at the same time to complement the existing state management system and is aimed to fulfilling the mission of the University.

The legislation of Ukraine outlines the purpose and functions of the SP. Thus, the purpose of creating a scientific park is the development of scientific, technical and innovation activities at a higher educational establishment and / or scientific institution, efficient and rational use of available scientific potential, material and technical basis for commercialization of scientific research results and their implementation in the domestic and foreign markets.

The main functions of the scientific park have been established (in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Scientific Parks”):

  • creation of new types of innovative product, implementation of measures for their commercialization, organization and provision of production of knowledge-intensive, innovative products competitive on the domestic and foreign markets,
  • involving students, graduates, postgraduates, scientists and employees of a higher educational institution and / or a scientific institution to the development and implementation of projects of a scientific park,
  • assistance in the development and support of small innovative enterprise,
  • organization of training, retraining and professional development of specialists necessary for the development and implementation of projects of the scientific park,
  • attraction and use of risk (venture) capital in its activity, support of science-intensive production,
  • development of international and domestic cooperation in the field of scientific and technical and innovation activities, promotion of attracting foreign investments.

Thus, the SP itself should act as the engine of innovative transformations of the University by creating new values:

  • Intangibles
    • Management Strategic Changes
    • Raising the image and brand status of NAU
    • Strengthening the institution of leadership
    • Innovation generation
    • Research driving education
    • Development of innovation ecosystem
    • Project management culture
  • Material values
    • Commercialization of developments
    • Investment attractiveness
    • Creation of jobs
    • Ensuring student practice
    • Prospects of employment of graduates
