Abstract
In the modern economy, scientific knowledge plays important role for development of innovations. The ability to transform knowledge into economic results provides countries with significant technical and technological advantages. Therefore, the expansion of knowledge transformation channels seems to be an important reserve for knowledge valorization through innovation transfer. Standardization documents that do not imply consensus in technical committees are such a channel for knowledge transformation and can significantly contribute to increasing the value of knowledge through innovation transfer. The article presents a critical analysis of the current state of the application of standardization tools to increase the value of scientific knowledge. To carry out this study, the approaches to the use of standardization tools for knowledge valorization and innovation transfer in the European Union (EU), Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, etc., established in the regulatory documents of these countries and the EU, were critically analyzed, standardization documents developed within the framework of accepted approaches were reviewed, and relevant generalizations were presented. The current basic EU documents containing recommendations for involving the interested university and research community in standardization activities, as well as the experience of developing standardization documents of the CWA type (workshop agreements) for the purposes of innovation transfer are considered. In addition, the experience of participation of the university and research community in the creation of standardization documents outside technical committees in Germany (DIN SPEC), Italy (UNI/PdR) and the Netherlands (NTA) for knowledge valorization is presented. Currently, China is also considering the possibility of using non-consensus standardization documents for innovation transfer. It has been established that the IWA workshop agreements organized within the ISO framework pursue other goals not related to innovation transfer, since knowledge valorization is mainly of a country-specific nature. It has been shown that there is also an opportunity to use non-consensus standardization documents for the purposes of disseminating innovations such as preliminary national standards, technical reports (specifications) in Russia. It has been established that Russia allows the use of non-consensus standardization documents such as preliminary national standards, technical reports (specifications) for the innovations dissemination.
