The article is about the organizational basis of the innovative scientific and technological centers activity (ISTC) and its legal forms: 1) the organizational structure of the ISTC established in the law; 2) organizational relationship between persons involved in the project implementation, defining as a person’s special legal status depending on the ISTC management company’s decision (either on granting the status of a project participant to a legal entity, or on concluding an agreement on the implementation of scientific and technological activities with a person without the project participant status). The author, considering the elements of management in the ISTC organizational structure, concludes that there are differences in management relations in the ISTC and in a corporation. The article defines features of the ISTC management system and management subjects’ legal status: the management company — a joint-stock company endowed with public legal powers and carrying out general management of the ISTC activities, and the fund — a non-profit organization that acts as the owner or tenant of the property, which is part of the ISTC, as well as making strategic decisions on the ISTC creation and functioning. Analyzing the organizational relationship, the author highlights the legal consequences of the organizational relationship existence between the persons involved in the project implementation.
