Abstract
The purpose of the article is to analyze the relationship between scientific research and different types of innovation. For this, it is shown that the innovation process has a systemic character, and science is present as an integral element in the implementation of each of the considered types of innovations – production, organizational and social. A brief description of these types is given and it is shown that the contribution of science is carried out at different stages of the innovation process, considered as a process of solving a particular problem. The most significant contribution of sciences (especially natural) is to industrial innovation; social sciences have some potential to contribute to organizational innovations; the problems,that are subjects of social innovations have no scientific solving whereby the social sciences can only provide the development of options for innovations, but not the choice among them.
Keywords:
