«Environmental challenges and solutions»
 
    In accordance with the decision of the 59th sitting of the Committee of Plenipotentiary Representatives of ICSTI member states ICSTI headquarters in collaboration with national contributors have prepared a second collection of analytical papers “Environmental challenges and solutions” within a series of publications under a common title “Innovation processes in ICSTI community”.
The relevancy of the publication subject is testified by a dramatic growth of the highly-industrialized society, which we have been witnessing in the past decades, and as a result - growing destructive human interference into nature, diversification of this interference, threatening to become a global danger for the whole humanity. Consumption of non-renewable natural resources is on the rise, loss of arable lands continues in mounting volumes. The Earth’s biosphere is subject to an increased anthropogenic impact, within which several processes of extreme environmental damage can be identified.
The most large-scale and devastating of such is chemical pollution of the environment with gas or aerosol pollutants of industrial and household origin. Accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is growing and contributing to the escalating trend of annual temperatures on our planet. Environmentalists are concerned with the continued pollution of the World Ocean with oil and oil products, which according to recent assessments is taking up to 1/5 of its surface. There are no doubts about the detrimental effect of chemical pollution of soil with pesticides, its increased acidity which lead to disintegration of ecosystems. The above and other factors produce a significant effect on the biosphere processes.
All the above mentioned trends are topical for environment of ICSTI member states. Therefore, the objective of the collection was to address environmental problems, issues of environment protection and monitoring, to study legal aspects in this sphere and contribute to their solution from the side of the scientific and technological community of ICSTI member states.
The collection features analytical materials and results of studies of specialists from Government authorities, research and educational organizations, innovation companies, specializing in environment protection from ICSTI member states and other countries, in particular, Republic of Azerbaijan, Republic of Belarus, Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Georgia, Republic of Kazakhstan, Russian Federation, Romania, Ukraine, Republic of South Africa and Republic of Italy.
The collection consists of national sections for each participating country.
The papers in the collection cover such issues, as governmental policy in the field environment protection in ICSTI member states and other countries, national and regional problems of environment and environment protection, governmental incentives to solution of environmental problems, human effect on nature, environment and human health and many more.
A lot of attention is dedicated to practical realization of environmental policy in ICSTI member states, represented in developed technologies or innovation products solving to a certain degree environment protection problems in a particular country or region.
 
Information and analytical collection «Status of national innovation systems»
 
    In accordance with the decision of the 58th session of the Committee of Plenipotentiary Representatives of ICSTI member states, ICSTI headquarters have prepared the information and analytical collection «Status of national innovation systems» based on materials from ICSTI members.
This is the first publication in a series of collections under the title «Innovation processes in ICSTI Community». The effort was motivated by increased ICSTI activity in providing information, organizational and consulting support of innovation processes.
The collection presents materials from several ICSTI member states: Republic of Bulgaria, Republic of Kazakhstan, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Russian Federation, Ukraine, from Republic of Azerbaijan, expected to become a member of ICSTI at the upcoming 59th sitting of the CPR, as well as from the Czech Republic prepared by the Association of Innovation Entrepreneurship of the Czech Republic, a long-term ICSTI partner.
The collection reviews the challenges of scientific and innovation policy of the countries presented, considers issues of monitoring science and innovation spheres development, legal aspects.
Special attention is devoted to the problems and trends in development of national innovation systems (NIS) in the Community of ICSTI member states.
The presented materials bring out clearly that the NIS concept formulated in early 1990s, has undergone significant changes. In contrast to the initial focus on science and technologies as the basic factors defining the operational environment for in-
novation companies the NIS are now be regarded as a system that includes all components of the social and economic structure of society.
The collection presents results of studies carried out by specialists from ICSTI member states representing the sphere of Government administration, scientific, educational organizations, organizations of the innovation sphere, which in the majority of cases operate as ICSTI national focal points.
The collection consists of separate divisions dedicated to selected ICSTI member states. The presented articles provide full or accentuated coverage of the basic issues and problems related to innovation activity, for example, such as the national innovation model of development of the economy of a specific country, institutional profile of the innovation system, Government policy regarding the NIS, its targets and tasks, directions and stages of the NIS conversion, and stimulation of innovation activity.
The authors representing different countries revealed close interrelation of the NIS elements: small and large innovation firms, universities and state scientific research centers, governmental and regional officials, innovation infrastructure entities, financial markets and others.
The collection articles highlight interaction of public and private sectors in the R&D field, creation of conditions for encouraging innovation activity of enterprises, in particular, development of innovation entrepreneurship in the sector of SMEs.
They offer statistics on a wide range of indices characterizing the state of NIS in ICSTI member states.
With account of the national specifics of concrete countries, one of the primary goals this collection was to archive stemmed from the fact that globalization processes in modern society, in particular, those illustrated by experience of European countries in integrating resources in science and innovations, lead to formation of common global economic and scientific areas.
This means that creation of an effective NIS is impossible without insight into world trends and experience of other countries. In this connection, publication of this collection which to a certain degree integrates experience accumulated by ICSTI member states, can contribute to creation and development of NIS in these countries.
