The subject of the work is innovative development, the theme is the role and specificity of «platform» management in the infrastructure of innovative development, and the purpose is to display the multi-functional variability of the participation of technological platforms in the innovation and infrastructure management practice of the EU, Russia and EurAsEC. The methodology of the work consists in the application of elements of system analysis (accepted and expected state decisions) in the innovative sphere of scientific and technological development, concerning: comparative characteristics of approaches to the creation of platforms in the EU and the Russian Federation, comparative characteristics of platforms and clusters, the order of formation of the list of platforms, proposals for regulation and requirements for the form of content and illustrative examples of functional and consolidated variability of platforms in the innovation infrastructure of domestic platforms, orientation and implementation of EurAsEC platforms. The research is based on the general scientific method (problem statement, information-analytical generalizations, classification and analogies, analysis and synthesis, inductive-deductive approach). The results of the work are that on the basis of the organizational and managerial Genesis of the EU technological platforms, the mission of the platforms in the innovation infrastructure of the Russian Federation and EurAsEC is outlined. The field of application of the results is the formation, implementation and expected prospects of domestic technological platforms.
Summary. The functional variability of domestic technological platforms, which are communication tools of innovative development, is characterized by participation in the implementation of National priorities of this development, development Strategies of the Russian Federation, National projects, National technological initiatives, State and Federal target programs, Programs of measures to support promising industries, in the planned creation of the first technological valley, in clusters and technological engineering, in the formation of Eurasian platforms. Based on consideration of the mission platforms in the innovation infra-structure, contribution of organizational management Genesis platforms of the EU and the functional variability of the implementation of domestic platforms, it can be considered that the Russian Federation defined the role of the state as regulator of the platforms (not the participant or the mediator controls). The practice of formation and implementation of platforms of the Russian Federation is not without infrastructural management problems: there is still insufficient interest of big business in the activities of platforms and, as a consequence, extra – budgetary underfunding of projects and programs; «vagueness» of responsibility for the development of technologies (in the conditions of formation of &quot; top «with the initiative of» bottom»); non-obvious coordination of interaction between platform participants and inter-budgetary regional relations; dependence and strengthening of external risks of the Russian Federation on participation/import of foreign capital and technologies; uncertainty of control procedures; lack of criteria/indicators of expected efficiency. Not all platforms of the Russian Federation and EurAsEC are guaranteed to be effective, but the success of any of them will form a new market of innovative products with the expected prospect of long-term development.
