Directions of research activation and innovation activities in agricultural institutions of higher education.

 

The article discusses directions for the development of research and innovation activities in agricultural higher education institutions, taking into account modern trends within the framework of the reform of the higher education institution and the environment for its implementation. The research was carried out using the following methods: theoretical analysis, comparison, generalization and statistical analysis, abstract-logical method and methods of synthesis, induction, deduction.

The main market, participants and types of services for research and innovation activities of agricultural in[1]stitutions of higher education have been determined.

A generalized characterization was made for various competitive positions based on the main indicators of research and innovation activity of agricultural univer[1]sities and their competitive advantages were formed.

The need to strengthen the scientific potential to ensure the competitiveness of higher education institutions of Ukraine is substantiated. Systematized specific sectoral features character[1]istic of the scientific and innovative activities of agri[1]cultural higher education institutions and the restraining factors of the external and internal environment for the development of university science have been deter[1]mined. The priority directions for the development of scientific and innovative activities of agricultural insti[1]tutions of higher education have been generalized and the need to increase the volume is emphasized insuf[1]ficient funding opportunities for updating the material and technical base and laboratory equipment negatively affect the quality of education and the results of scien[1]tific research. It was concluded that the reform should take into account the differences in the development of research and innovation potentials of agricultural uni[1]versities, historical conditions and regional features, resource potential, as well as modern challenges fac[1]ing agrarian education, science and the agrarian sector of the economy, which will avoid possible losses and maximally adapt them to new conditions and challeng[1]es. The cluster type is proposed as a priority vector of development, which will allow to mobilize available resources and concentrate efforts on breakthrough ar[1]eas of agricultural science, ensure high-quality training of specialists, commercialize knowledge and become a driver of innovative development at the national and regional levels of the agricultural sector. The new direc[1]tions of scientific research in the agrarian sphere of the post-war reconstruction of the country are summarized, the focus on which will allow to increase the valuable contribution of agricultural higher education institutions at the country level and, accordingly, to strengthen the research and innovation potential. Stimulation of cluster initiatives, in which universities should acquire the role of integrator, should become a tool for involving agrar[1]ian higher education institutions in solving the urgent tasks of the state in the conditions of post-war recovery.

Key words: agricultural institution of higher edu[1]cation, research activity, innovative activity, innovative environment, competitiveness, competitive position, agribusiness market, sustainable development of rural areas.
