NOVA PROIZVODNJA ZNANJA: PERSPEKTIVE U HRVATSKOJ
NEW KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION: PERSPECTIVES IN CROATIA

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the needs for radical changes of the traditional system of scientific and academic research in Croatia into a new knowledge production as a consequence of the emerging of the knowledge-based economy and national innovation systems in the1990s. The new mode of knowledge production aims at capitalization and commercialization of knowledge and research through science-industry cooperation. The paper explains the concept and main characteristics of new knowledge production and discusses the possibilities of transformation of the present Croatian scientific system into this new mode of research. It concludes that this transformation in Croatia is possible only by shifting the traditional scientific policy into innovation policy and building up a comprehensive Croatian national innovation system.
