The "Expert Group for the follow-up of the research aspects of the revised Lisbon strategy (LEG)", of which Prof S. Kuhlmann, member of the PRIME ExC, is a member, has just published a synthesis report on its views on the results achieved so far with a quite interesting title: "between revolution and illusion".

PRIME efforts to disseminate and discuss results arrived at have changed volume in 2008. The list is long (10 events in less than 6 months) and highlights the variety of channels through which these activities take place.
We have organised fourmajor training events - the PhD conference in Twente (July 2-4), The Nanodistrict winter school near Grenoble (February 4-9), the second Aquameth summer school in Pisa (July 7-11) and the Madrid Summer School on universities (September 15-18). This highlights once more the crucial importance of doctoral training for the NoE.
Oslo greeted, May 28-30) the second indicators conference with 100 persons attending and over 30 presentations. It officially was the birth of a new international association of indicator designers which will maintain all the indicators activities developed by PRIME.
Two events were developed in coordination with other networks of excellence: the Prime-DIME workshop on search regimes and science-based markets (Paris, February 20-22), the CONNEX organised seminar on “how does integration work” (Brussels, June 17). A third event was organised with the ERA Net NORFACE about the design of new instruments for funding social sciences (Ljubljana, June 23-24). And we have organised with our collegues from Globelicsa fuoll week of discussion on innovation and development (Mexico, September 22-26, see PRIME Latin America Conference)
Our colleagues from the Rebaspinoff and Venture Fun projects have been very active discussing and disseminating their results with two conferences organised in Sestri Levante on science-based entrepreneurship (March 31st-April 2nd) and in Milano on venture capital (May 28-29). They have also been active disseminating their results at the Toulouse French Presidency conference (see below). Similarly the Prime ERA dynamics project was heavily mobilised by the IPTS workshop on “tayloring foresight to research and innovation dynamics (Sevilla, June 30).
Last but not least Prime was very active in participating to the French Presidency conference on “Knowledge for Growth, European Strategies in the Global Economy” which took place in Toulouse (July 7-9, 2008).
Luke Georghiou was invited at the opening session to present the report on rationales for the ERA. See also the recent articles published.
L. Georghiou, Challenging Europe’s Research: Rationales for the European Research Area (report and presentation)
L. Georghiou, Europe’s research system must change, Nature, 452, (24 April 2008), 936-937
P. Larédo, Don’t confuse the ERA growing pains with its maturing strains, Research Europe, 1 May 2008, 7-8
S. Kuhlmann was invited to present in another plenary session his views on multi-level innovations systems and multi-level innovation policies.
S. Kuhlmann, Multi-level innovation systems and the need for intra-European innovation policy
P. Laredo organised a PRIME session on “knowledge dynamics and institutional change in fast changing science sectors” drawing extensively on the work being done in the ERA dynamics and Nanodistrict projects (see overall presentation of the session).
S. Kuhlmann, A framework for articulating knowledge and institutional dynamics
A. Bonaccorsi, Grasping knowledge dynamics, the role of search regimes
P. van den Besselaar and A. Schoen, Knowledge dynamics, a network analytical approach
P. Laredo, Nanotechnology, convergence and agglomeration phenomena
Members of the Venture Fun project were very active in Toulouse presenting results out of the project in three different sessions
A.Rosiello and S. Parris, The patterns of venture capital investment in the UK bio-healthcare sector: on geography, co-evolution and the provision of added-value
M. Teubal, A. Rosiello and G. Avnimelech, Toward the framing of venture capital policies: a systems evolutionary perspective with reference to UK/Scotland and Israeli experiences
F. Bertoni, M. Colombo and L. Grilli, Venture capital financing and the growth of new-technology –based firms: a longitudinal analysis on the role of the type of investor (text and presentation)
F. Bertoni, The effects of venture capital financing on the sensitivity to cash flow of firms’s investments (text and presentation)
The Characterisation Group presented its recent developments on the dynamics of NoE
T. Luukkonen & M. Nedeva, Assessment of integration in the new FP tools: example of the NoEs
Finally the SUN project presented its main conclusions
C. Paradeise, E. Reale and G. Goastellec, Evolution of Universities: the rise of managerial approach and the diversity of change in Western European countries
The conference was thus a major occasion to circulate to the numerous policymakers present many of the results arrived by the activities developed by PRIME. |
