Economics and Management2022<p>The paper examines approaches to the assessment of innovation activity of Russian universities and concludes that there is no unified assessment methodology and a set of relevant indicators. As a single assessment tool at the state level, it is proposed to use Monitoring the effectiveness of the activities of educational institutions of higher education. For these purposes, the author proposes to allocate an independent block of indicators in the monitoring structure that reflect the innovative activity of the university as comprehensively as possible. At the same time, part of the indicators should be transferred from the Monitoring section on the evaluation of research activities. The author supports the approach of forming a set of indicators for assessing innovation activity in three areas innovation potential, innovation activity and the effectiveness of innovation activity. At the same time, based on the legislatively fixed concept of innovation activity, the author of the article suggests that when choosing indicators for assessing innovation activity, include only indicators reflecting the effects (primarily economic) of the implementation of innovative projects and the creation (development) of innovation infrastructure. Based on the results of the analysis of currently available indicators in Monitoring, the author proposes to include additional 14 indicators in the assessment of the university's innovation activity, distributing them into the above groups, which will allow the most comprehensive assessment of this area of activity of Russian universities and conduct correct comparisons with other universities, regardless of their size.</p>innovationactivitypotentialactivityefficiencyindicator systemevaluation methodologyinnovation projectinfrastructuremonitoringинновациидеятельностьпотенциалактивностьэффективностьсистема показателейметодика оценкиинновационный проектинфраструктурамониторинг[Volkov A.T.
