The normative basis for the regulation of effective relationships between the educational, scientific and business sectors is presented. Based on statistical data, the dynamics of the development of the innovation infrastructure in the Republic of Belarus is analyzed and shows the need for change in collaboration between universities and business structures, development it. The university development models "University 3.0" are described which demonstrates the need for university-business collaboration. The indicators of the development of the innovation environment in the Republic of Belarus are analyzed. University cooperation should take place the east as well the west direction. The aim to analyse experience of the collaboration models of education and business in the context of efficiency and quality. Research tasks: to collect information on theoretical aspects on experience of collaboration model; to describe and explain the role and perspective of the model of universitiesbusiness cooperation. Experience, literature and internet source content analysis. Selected data were processed and interpreted applying statistical data processing and interpretation methods as well as matrix structuring, index approach and method of synergy. The goal has been achieved and the tasks are fulfilled. IntroductionThe effectiveness of the scientific, innovative project is determined by the synergy between the participants, which allows maximizing the planned result, compared with the sole, separate work.Research goal -to analyse experience of the collaboration models of education and business in the context of efficiency and quality. Research tasks: 1. to collect information on theoretical aspects on experience of collaboration model. 2. to describe and explain the role and perspective of the model of universities-business cooperation. Research methods: for analysis and evaluation methods were used content analysis of literature and internet sources was performed to prepare the research paper. The selected data were processed and interpreted applying statistical data processing and interpretation methods as well as matrix structuring, index approach and synergistic method. Research innovation: analysis of an innovative collaborative model between universities and business structures. The effectiveness of the functioning of organizations, considering the growing competition within the country, as well as from abroad, is determined by the conditions and actions taken in the direction of cooperation. By combining certain types of resources of partner organizations, the aim is to strengthen competitive positions and achieve synergies from cooperation, in contrast to the possible result of individual work. The current stage of development of society is based on innovations in each of the spheres of life and sectors of the economy. The leading role in the socio-economic development of the country based on the intensification of innovation processes should be taken by educational and scientific organizations. The university needs t...

A formal village/neighbourhood planning process is typically focused on three planning levels (national, regional and local) and is usually linked with administrative units of the territory (state, region or municipality). The local planning level (village or neighbourhood) “pocket plan” is a development challenge for spatial planners. The small coastal village Tuja in Latvia was taken as a pilot territory for “pocket planning” due to the unique location; biodiversity and ecosystems; significant natural, cultural, economic and social values; specific interests; and the needs of the involved local society. All these factors create a dynamic flow of data and information. Geographic information systems (GIS) are widely used as planning support systems. GISs for pocket plans must accommodate the special needs of communities in villages and neighbourhoods. Ensuring the availability of information in dynamic real time is an opportunity to build both community integration in specific environments and to understand the future plans of the territory. Access to a WEB-GIS (internet GIS) provides possibilities for every person with a mobile phone to use and update information. Static and statistical information is generally used for spatial planning. For pocket plans, the data and information flow has to be dynamic and has to interact with non-professional users. The special wishes and needs of every member of a community must be accommodated by a pocket plan for the well-being of the people and the sustainability of the surrounding territory. Small territory planning involves a very narrow circle of individuals or communities that identify spatial development needs for the future, which includes the socio-economic, cultural, historical, environmental and climate change scenarios. In order to assess the development opportunities and needs of such areas, the detection, accumulation and monitoring of reliable data is necessary. Methodically derived data (facts) provide objectivity and transparency. Currently, as information between the present and the past is able to circulate very fast, analysis of the current situation to forecast the future and show different constructed realities (scenarios) using a GIS is necessary. Therefore, to explore and determine a local needs-based and smart spatial planning approach, we must identify indicators that can be used for the short-term and long-term analysis of specific territories in coastal areas.

For exploring and discovering the main knowledge, experience and practices, four main issues were analyzed: what were the goals of the involved participants regarding the community involvement in the spatial and community planning; what methods were used to extend the involvement of community members; what problems and obstacles did the project participants face, and what were the main lessons learned. This study provides reflections (analysis, comparison and evaluation) on community involvement in participatory process in coastal areas of the Baltic Sea Region by investigating the methods, which were used in community involvement in project participating countries; and its influence in improving local governance of the local territory development.

Many shared views of both scholars and practitioners reflect spatial planning as a place-creating process that must be understood from a multi-level perspective. Formal and informal planning modes have variations in planning practices in different countries. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the interaction of formal and informal spatial planning in the frame of the spatial planning system in the Baltic Sea region. We were searching to highlight the involvement possibilities of territorial communities in the spatial planning process around the Baltic Sea region, focusing on coastal areas and their specific features in Latvia, Estonia, the Åland Islands of Finland, and Sweden. Involved experts expressed views based on a pre-developed model to identify how institutionalized formal spatial planning relates with informal interventions. This allowed the development and proposal of a model for coastal area spatial planning and implementation. We concluded that in the spatial planning approach, the governance works differently in different countries, and coastal area spatial planning differs from regular spatial planning. The information base is sufficient to initiate spatial planning at the municipal level, but municipalities should be more active, involving territorial communities in the planning, implementation, and control of municipal spatial planning, as this ensures a greater interest in the use of planning outcome.

One of the mechanisms for enhancing innovative processes in the industry is the application of the concept of the “four-link spiral”. In contrast to the 3-link spiral, this model as one of the most important components includes a “society”, acting as one of the actors of innovative transformations. Firstly, it is society that is the main consumer of innovative products being created and, thereby, establishes “requirements”, forming demands for the quality and parameters of future products; secondly, society, in turn, acts as the initiator and generator of innovations, forming the so-called “social capital” necessary for the implementation of directly innovative transformations. In this scientific work, the problems of the formation of a “smart specialization” strategy for the innovative development of the industrial sector of the national economic system based on the application of the four-link spiral concept are investigated. A system of quantitative indicators for assessing the innovative level of industrial development is presented. The experience of introducing the concept of a four-link spiral as a mechanism of innovative development of industry (on the example of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation) is given. The aim of the article is to describe innovation processes in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus and to develop an innovation transfer model.
