Abstract


Knowledge and the ability to transfer it effectively becomes a valuable skill, that goes beyond a particular business sector. In 2015 United Nations developed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Develop-ment Goals (SDG), which emphasize global partnership and collaboration as some of the key criteria in order to achieve tangible results. Authors raise the hypothesis about a set of national level criteria, which help to forecast the level of European Union countries contribution to SDG. Research aims to evaluate EU countries’ potential to contribute to 17 SDG, by measuring the level of international knowledge transfer. Authors analyze scientific approaches to knowledge transfer, its measurement, match selected measure-ment aspects with corresponding data from Global Competitiveness Index and rank EU countries by using TOPSIS multi-criteria decision making method.
