摘要：AbstractOne of the key aspects for the assurance a long term competitiveness for the company, country or region is the knowledge-based development. The rapid increase of research and development (R&D) demand caused the emergence of wide variety of research organizations. It brought the new scientific problematic aspects such as the need of unified evaluation platform which would allow to assess the effectiveness of different type research organizations’ activities. There is an evident lack of theoretical and empirical studies analyzing this aspect of problem, so the main purpose of this paper is - to develop the R&D effectiveness assessment system in the research organizations by incorporating the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) methodology in to the assessment process. Although TRL is the methodology to define the technology development level, this concept is modified and applied to use it for identifying the coverage of R&D activity types in each research organization, what determines the further measurements settings. The developed evaluation system allows to exploit the scientific and infrastructural potential more effectively by directing the activity of research organizations towards a creation of effective innovations.
