Rethinking progress: integrating innovation policy for sustainable futures
In the context of the pressing challenges posed by global issues such as
climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality, there is a growing
recognition of the need for innovative approaches within policy frameworks. The
paper explores the intersection of innovation policy and sustainable
development, aiming to uncover new avenues for fostering socio-economic and
environmental sustainability. By examining the case of the Czech Republic, this
study provides a nuanced understanding of how the country strategically shifted
from smart specialisation strategies (S3) to a more advanced mission-oriented
approach (S4). The introduction of missions within the S3 serves as a relevant
example that illustrates the Czech Republic's commitment to addressing current
challenges and aligning with global goals such as the European Green Deal and the
UN Sustainable Development Goals
Naučnotehnološke i inovacione politike: analiza stanja u Srbiji
Naučnotehnološke i inovacione (NTI) politike su prepoznate od
strane razvijenijih zemalja kao najvažniji faktor uspostavljanja društva zasnovanog na
znanju. Sa druge strane i zemlje u razvoju sve više prepoznaju nauku, tehnologije i
inovacija kao važan činilac održivog razvoja. U prvom delu rada je predstavljen
teorijski okvir, evolucija i teorijska klasifikacija instrumenata NTI politike. U drugom
delu rada je prikazana analiza instrumenata NTI politike u kojoj se daje odgovor na
pitanje da li postojeći set instrumenata rešava ključne izazove nacionalnog
inovacionog sistema Republike Srbije. Opšti zaključak rada je da, iako postoji
evidentan napredak u ovoj oblasti, instrumenti NTI politike ne rešavaju najvažnije
izazove nacionalnog inovacionog sistema Republike Srbije u dovoljnoj meri. U
strukturi identifikovanih instrumeanta NTI politike dominiraju instrumenti na strani
ponude što predstavlja pokazatelj nedovoljnog obuhvata instrumenata inovacione
politike
Metodologije za merenje naučnotehnoloških i inovacionih aktivnosti
Metrika nauke, tehnologije i inovacija od ključnog je značaja za
uspešno kreiranje i implementaciju javnih politika i programa u brojnim oblastima -
privredni razvoj, obrazovanje, istraživanje i razvoj, međunarodna naučnotehnološka
saradnja. Preduzeća, nevladine organizacije i pojedinci takođe koriste pokazatelje
razvoja nauke, tehnologije i inovacija prilikom donošenja odluka u svom opsegu
delovanja. Otuda, nameće se neophodnost boljeg razumevanja različitih pristupa u
oceni složenih aktivnosti u domenu nauke, tehnologije i inovacija. U radu su
predstavljeni osnovni načini za merenje inputa i autputa naučno-istraživačkog rada,
tehnološkog progresa i inovacija. Sve metodologije su svrstane u tri široke grupe:
inovacione ankete, pojedinačni pokazatelji naučnotehnološkog razvoja i kompozitni
indikatori. Za svaku od navedenih grupa objašnjene su glavne karakteristike kao i
međunarodno prihvaćene metodologije i standardi za njihovo obuhvatanje i merenje
Open Innovation Model in Serbian Companies
The aim of this paper is to indicate the current willingness of the business sector in Serbia to
operate in accordance with the main principles of the Open Innovation Model (OIM). The paper presents
theoretical framework of the OIM and shows the current situation and the relative position of Serbia in
relation to the EU member states regarding the prevalence of the practice of using the OIM. This research
showed that the OIM is not the predominant business model in the Serbian business sector. On the other
hand, except in a few countries, this business model is also largely absent in most EU member states
Trends of business enterprise expenditure on R&D before and after global economic crisis: evidence from selected SEE countries
The latest economic crisis in 2008, with a source on the mortgage market of the USA, spilled, to a
lesser or greater extent, over all European and non-European economies. One of the significant features of
this crisis is reflected in the raising bank loans and tightening lending terms. State budget deficit in the
conditions of the crisis imposes the need for fiscal consolidation, thus reducing the capacity of the state to
provide financial support to the business sector. In this regard, these developments may have an adverse
effect on the level of R&D expenditure of the business sector, which in turn leads to a decrease in quality or
a complete suspension of R&D activities. Nevertheless, innovative companies willing to take the risk, as well
as governments that have set the increase of expenditures on R&D as a strategic goal of their economic
policies, can be taken as an explanation for unchanged or increased R&D expenditure in the time of crisis.
Empirical research was conducted for the period 2004–2012 on a sample of 10 South-Eastern European
(SEE) countries. The results of the survey show that the business sector had higher spending on R&D
activities after the economic crisis, at the SEE region-level. At the country level, business sector in Austria,
Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Serbia and Slovenia had higher R&D expenditures after 2008, while in Croatia,
Romania, Slovakia and North Macedonia, there was no significant difference in the level of R&D
expenditures before and after the crisis
Mere politike istraživanja i inovacija Evropske unije tokom COVID-19 pandemije
Politike u domenu nauke, tehnologije i inovacija ne samo da obezbeđuju dugoročni društveno-ekonomski razvoj, već imaju i sposobnost da u relativno kratkom roku pruže efikasan odgovor na izazove
koje nameću globalne krize. U radu su predstavljene odlike istraživanja i inovacija za vreme kriza, kao i
njihove implikacije za vođenje politika u toj oblasti. Cilj istraživanja je da ukaže na mere koje je Evropska
unija donela u okviru svoje politike istraživanja i inovacija u toku 2020. godine kao odgovor na Covid-19
pandemiju. Opšti zaključak rada je da je pandemija značajno uticala na pravce delovanja EU politike
istraživanja i inovacija u pogledu alokacije finansijskih sredstava, istraživačkih tema i kolaborativnih mreža
Uticaj strukturnih i tehnoloških promena na privredni razvoj Republike Srbije
U savremenim privrednim, uslovima poznavanje zakonomernosti strukturnih i
tehnoloških promena od suštinske je važnosti za ostvarivanje zadovoljavajućih
stopa privrednog rasta i unapređenje životnog standarda. Strukturne i
tehnološke promene predstavljaju i put za države koje nameravaju iskoristiti
svoje prednosti i ostvariti najviše moguće nivoe razvoja sa raspoloživim
resursima. Ovo je važno za sve svetske privrede, a posebno za zemlje u razvoju koje
nastoje da dostignu nivo razvoja naprednijih država.
Iako je na razvojnoj trajektoriji privrede Republike Srbije nakon 2000. godine
učinjen izvestan pomak, vidno je da su performanse privrede nedovoljne, što je
rezultat delovanja kako globalnih tokova, tako i nepovoljnih internih faktora.
Neadekvatan model privrednog rasta i neefikasna tranzicija uticali su na potpuno
zanemarivanje industrijske proizvodnje, kao i na kreiranje neoptimalne privredne
strukture.
Uzroci ekonomske krize u Republici Srbiji su strukturni, a ne ciklični
faktori, odnosno rezultat su ekspanzije sektora usluga i smanjenja industrijske
proizvodnje. Tranzicioni proces u srpskoj privredi nije stvorio konkurentnu
privrednu strukturu koja bi mogla doprineti održivom privrednom razvoju.
Razvojni imperativ privrede Republike Srbije predstavljaju izmene u
strukturi i tehnološkom nivou proizvodnje, što će omogićiti realokaciju resursa u
produktivne privredne delatnosti i stvaranje inovativnog industrijskog sektora.
Buduća razvojna orijentacija privrede Republike Srbije treba da bude zasnovana na
primarnoj ulozi industrije, a naročito prerađivačke industrije, kao i na
tehnološkim inovacijama u proizvodnji. U tom smislu, važno je utvrđivanje
adekvatnog načina za efikasnu transformaciju strukture privrede Republike
Srbije koja će doprineti rastu produktivnosti, jačanju industrijskog sektora i
otuda, ostvarivanju izvozno orijentisanog modela privrednog rasta.
Polazna osnova za reindustrijalizaciju privrede Republike Srbije treba da
bude realno sagledavanje sopstvenih potencijala, ali i (re)definisanje i
pravovremena implementacija relevantnih politika i strategija. Od posebne
važnosti je definisanje sistemski dobro osmišljene industrijske i naučnotehnološke politike koje treba da obezbede kako podsticajan institucionalan
okvir, tako i konkretne programe podrške industrijskom sektoru u procesu
podizanja tehnološkog nivoa i unapređenja inovacionih performansi.In modern economic conditions, possessing knowledge of the regularities of structural and technological changes is essential for achieving satisfactory rates of economic growth and improving living standard. Structural and technological changes also represent a way for countries which aim to exploit their advantages and achieve the highest possible development
levels with available resources. This is important for all economies in the world, and
especially for developing countries that strive to “catch up” with the developed countries.
Although some progress has been made on the development trajectory of the economy
of the Republic of Serbia after 2000, it is evident that the economic performance is not
sufficient, which is a result both of the global flows and unfavourable internal factors. The
inadequate model of economic growth and inefficient transition process have affected a total
neglect of industrial production, as well as in creation of a sub-optimal economic structure.
The causes of the economic crisis in the Republic of Serbia are structural rather than
cyclical factors, and are result of the expansion of the service sector and reduction of
industrial production. The transition process of Serbian economy did not create a competitive
economic structure that could contribute to sustainable economic development.
The development imperative of the economy of the Republic of Serbia are changes in
the structure and technological level of production, which will enable reallocation of
resources into productive economic activities and creation of an innovative industrial sector.
The future development orientation of Serbian economy should be based on the primary role
of industry, especially manufacturing, as well as on technological innovations in production.
In this regard, it is important to determine an adequate way for an efficient transformation of
economic structure in the Republic of Serbia, which will contribute to the productivity growth,
strengthening industrial sector, and hence to the realization of an export-oriented model of
economic growth.
Тhe starting point in reindustrialisation of the economy of the Rebublic of Serbia
should be realistic assessment of its own potential, but also (re)defining and timely
implementation of relevant policies and strategies. It is particularly importnant to define a
systematically well-designed industrial and science and technology policy that should provide
both an incentive institutional framework and concrete programs of support to the industrial
sector in the process of raising the technological level and improving the innovation performance

Evaluation of the quality of scientific performance of the selected countries of Southeast Europe
Scientific productivity data (number of publications and h-indices), collected from the Web of Science (WoS) database for the period 2005-2010 for 13 countries of Southeast Europe (including Austria as the reference country) and for the 251 WoS categories were grouped, during extraction of data, into 41 fields of science (FoS) according to Frascati manual classification (OECD in Revised field of science and technology (FoS) classification in the Frascati manual, pp. 1-12, 2007). The Scientific Performance QuaLity (SPQL) level has been defined and calculated for the 13 studied countries and for all FoS based on the established best fit of the linear dependence between P (1/alpha) and h-index. From these data the SPQL levels of the six major fields and overall country levels have been generated in a way which makes them dependent not on the quantity of scientific publications output, but on its quality thus making them suitable for constructing conceivable science policies. Nevertheless, general observed trend shows growth of the quality of scientific performance (SPQL) with scientific production output, but there are evident exceptions from such a tendency in both positive and negative directions. The highest quality levels of the reached scientific performance have been identified for the 41 FoSs (subfields) and 6 major FoS by the countries concerned
