Assessment of the level of development of regional innovative systems of the Central federal district on the basis of weighted indicators

The reorientation of the Russian economy to an innovative development path implies that all areas involved in the integrated use of innovations will be subjected to this process, which should inevitably lead to an increase in the efficiency of the reproduction process, as well as to an increase in satisfaction with social needs. To date, the task of expanded reproduction of the existing scientific and technical potential has been updated. This problem is especially acute for regional innovation systems. A new level of efficiency of managerial, organizational and financial decisions is required, which would contribute to the optimal use of available resources and would have a strong stimulating effect on the innovation and investment climate in the region. Of particular interest is the development of the peripheral regions of Russia, which is associated with the decentralization of the economy, the diversity and global nature of the processes of socio-economic development, the need for scientific justification of the state strategy to identify regional growth poles. It is necessary to study the poles of growth in the development of regions in a theoretical sense, since it becomes possible to understand the main trends in increasing the innovative potential of regions in an unstable environment. The purpose of our research is to select methodological tools for assessing regional innovation systems in the Russian Federation and to test them. To achieve this goal, the following tasks will have to be solved: to study the existing achievements in the field of evaluation of regional innovation systems (RIS); to identify the advantages and disadvantages of already used methods of evaluating RIS; to find ways to level these shortcomings.
