Abstract
The course is created with the objective to highlight and explain main linkages between different approaches to build a successful education policy and how to properly transfer results of this policy to the sphere of innovations and vice versa. The effective implementation of a well-designed education policy is a necessary pre-condition for the societal and economic growth and in contemporary world such kinds of growth are almost unreachable without systematic implementation of innovative practices and ideas. The postindustrial economy has been going through a new cycle of knowledge-based economy where the innovation centric education is in the highest demand. There are many evidence that human development and quality of education contributes to economic growth no less than physical capital. Thus, the emphasis now is on both qualitative and quantitative improvements, and there is as much concern with the equity as with the efficiency of educational investment. The evaluation of education investments becomes even more complicated when we consider that yet another factor must be taken into account-the important links between education and other sectors. During this course, we will focus on history and evolution of education as well as different methods and techniques of knowledge transfer and the commercialization of scientific research. Content of the course is structured around systemic approach to the orchestration of knowledge creation and innovation processes by linking the three areas of academic research and knowledge creation, education and training, and business innovation. We will discuss main concepts related to knowledge transfer, such as: third mission, entrepreneurial university, knowledge triangle and the triple helix model. These concepts offer different approaches both for analysis and policy, but they also have some common and overlapping features. As a part of the course, we will also observe how to evaluate efficiency of investments in education
