Innovation Activities
A science park was set up at the University in 2008. The major task of the park is the concentration of research potential. The strategic goal of the science park is to facilitate the creation of full-scale productive symbiosis of the regional industry and science. The achievement of this goal will increase the innovation potential and attractiveness of the Kaliningrad region.
The IKBFU innovation park implements the Presidential programme for training managerial staff for national enterprises. The innovative educational courses offered within this Programme enable students to acquire expertise in the application of approaches and tools for strategic development in a competitive business environment.

Famous quotes containing the words innovation and/or activities:
“Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
—Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
