Abstract. The subject of research within the framework of this article is the current state of the Russian Federation’s regions in terms of the created conditions for cooperation between research teams and the commercialization of scientists’ results of intellectual activity.
The paper’s goal is to identify the potential and results of the regional environment, which promotes effective scientific activity in the field of communications and collaborations between researchers and practical application of scientific results in the field of economy and social sphere, on the basis of indicators system. The authors made an analysis of the estimated indicators, as well as the calculation of the integral index characterizing the conditions of the regional environment that are under study. The method chosen in the work includes the separation of the indicators selected for analysis into indicators of potential and result, as well as the standard calculation of the integral indicator by the distance method. Relative indicators were used in calculating the integral indicator to ensure comparability of data from different regions.
Among the estimated indicators in the study are the number of created clusters; technology parks; innovative activity of organizations; the number of created small innovative enterprises; number of winners of the program of megagrants; competition for the development of cooperation of Russian universities, scientific institutions and manufacturing enterprises; indicator of the number of potentially commercialized patents.
The obtained integral characteristics make it possible to draw conclusions about the complex state of conditions in regions that promoting scientific activity, to identify the leading regions that can become benchmarks. Separate regional initiatives are highlighted in the work.
The resulting conclusions can form the basis for the development of a regional environment that promotes scientific activity, based on the development of measures to introduce the best initiatives of the leading regions into practice.
Key words: communications, collaboration, science, research and development, region, commercialization.
