The research is aimed at providing the most complete analytical overview of all versions of the European Regional Innovation Scoreboard in view of its great importance for adaptation to domestic conditions. The analysis of all versions of the European Regional Innovation Scoreboard is made on the basis of the general report of the European Commission with a view to introducing all of its analytical tools into the domestic scientific circulation. It is shown that the Regional Innovation Scoreboard is formed on the basis of a matrix of partial indicators of innovation activity, distributed according to their classes and regions. On the basis of partial indicators, integral indicators of innovation activity of regions are calculated every two years, after which they are ranked in order of decreasing their innovation activity. Such a full description of the European Regional Innovation Scoreboard is being introduced into the domestic scientific circulation for the first time and will be very useful for all domestic developers of analytical instruments and methods for assessing the regional innovative activity.
