Technology-Based innovation and corporate registration Prof Bruce W Ferguson Corporate Registers Forum
This document discusses the importance of corporate registration for technology startups and proposes innovative models to promote their formation. It notes that research universities have historically fostered many successful startup companies through graduate founders registering companies. However, long development cycles now pose challenges, so the document suggests universities adopt an "education paradigm" by supporting student startups before graduation to reduce risks. This could encourage more entrepreneurship through innovative corporate registration processes framed as continuing education rather than traditional business investments. The document highlights several Masdar Institute programs supporting this goal through scholarships, grants and business plan competitions.James Ransom
The document discusses how universities can help build successful smart cities in three ways: by focusing on their competitive edge in research and skills, building deep links between university and city leaders, and prioritizing inclusiveness. It recommends that in the short-term, universities map work relevant to their city and strengthen personal links with city leaders, in the medium-term, build engagement and involve students, and in the long-term, consider physical collaboration centers and adopt a long-term perspective.
TCI 2016 Regional governance and leadership: 3 Dutch cases
This document summarizes a presentation about regional governance and leadership models in three Dutch regions: Brainport Twente, Amsterdam Metropolitan Area, and Brainport Eindhoven. It finds that the regions have different network models for governance based on their history and resources: Brainport Twente uses separate "silos", Brainport Eindhoven a dense "beehive" structure, and Amsterdam a looser "flocks" model. Leadership is sometimes lacking but can be effective if connective, and balance is needed between bottom-up and top-down approaches. Further research on multiple helix strategic networks and their effectiveness is warranted.
TCI 2016 How Institutional Logics Constrain Alignment in Innovation Ecosystems
The document summarizes a presentation about alignment challenges in innovation ecosystems. It discusses how organizational diversity is necessary for innovation but can also lead to misalignment if stakeholders' expectations, interests and strategies are not well-aligned. As a case study, it examines the Dutch public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, which has struggled to expand due to misalignment among stakeholders like grid operators, local governments, and charging station providers. The presentation recommends that managers understand differences between organizations, adopt an open mindset, communicate clearly, and partner with similar organizations to improve alignment.
TCI 2016 Clustering Estonian Applied Research Centers
This document discusses clustering Estonia's applied research centers to increase their impact and efficiency. It outlines the existing situation of technology and regional competence centers operating independently with weak visibility and no synergy. By clustering the centers, they could develop a common strategic plan, shared marketing and branding, joint projects, and focus on core competencies. This would help maximize their resources and better serve industry needs for applied research and knowledge services. The document proposes clustering as a solution and lists examples of existing technology centers, regional centers, and industry clusters in Estonia.

This document discusses how open education can catalyze science and engineering capacity building in Africa through globally networked organizations. It argues that open education supports autonomous learning and addresses complex issues, and that open innovation done in the context of open education is disruptive. It presents a multi-stakeholder innovation framework and a spiral innovation framework for biomedical engineering capacity building in Africa. It calls for an open education developer community to incorporate research deliverables into open learning platforms and recognize their audience extends beyond students.
Jeliazkova, margarita civic role of universities
The document discusses the political nature of education and citizenship. It argues that citizenship education does not automatically promote democracy and that exploring questions of borders and belonging is important. It also notes that teachers hold diverse views that reflect their societies and that avoiding nostalgia is key to a positive vision of teacher professionalism focused on problem-solving rather than rules. Universities are urged to support teachers by reexamining their role as social and political actors.
Professor Wim de Villiers
This document discusses how universities can develop entrepreneurship to meet economic needs. It focuses on a case study of Stellenbosch University, which has established business incubators and support programs like LaunchLab to stimulate startup activity and support entrepreneurs. Through these efforts, Stellenbosch University has helped create over 300 jobs and assisted startup companies in raising over $5 million. Going forward, the document argues that universities in Africa can play a key role in supporting entrepreneurs and helping stimulate economic growth in their regions by commercializing research and supporting startup formation and growth.
The Theory of Change Framework and its Application in the Field of L&D
The author looks into the theory of change as a method for exploring the effects from the application of technology innovations in the field of career counseling. The application of innovative blockchain technologies is critically looked at. In 2015, Philipp Schmidt, the director of learning innovation at the MIT Media Lab, begins issuing internal, non-academic digital blockchain-based certificates to his team. Schmidt had realized that, despite the rise of decentralized, informal online learning opportunities, there was no digital way to track and manage these accomplishments. He says he became interested in finding a "more modular credentialing environment, where you would get some kind of recognition for lots of things you did throughout your life". 4 years later, Hristian Daskalov looks into a method for assessment of the actual effect of such and other innovations in the world of education and professional development by discussing the experience of MIT and OS.University (among others) as early adopters of DLT (distributed ledger technologies).

The document discusses how open education can catalyze science and engineering capacity building in Africa through open innovation. It argues that (1) administrators in Africa need expert strategic planning support to operate between multilateral institutions and investigators; (2) the World Bank is investing $150 million in STEM education initiatives in Africa; and (3) an open education developer community focused on science and engineering could design open educational tools to support each step of the innovation process from research to design.TCI 2016 Incorporating Network Theory and Visualisation into Cluster Analysis...
This document summarizes a presentation on incorporating network theory and visualization into cluster analysis of European ICT clusters. It discusses using the V-LINC methodology to analyze clusters in three regions by investigating value chain linkages, knowledge linkages, and economic policy and support. The methodology collects data on individual firms and firm linkages in a cluster. It then generates visualizations and reports on the cluster. Comparing results across regions showed clusters benefit from local suppliers and knowledge linkages but also international linkages. Economic policy must be tailored to each region based on analysis of the cluster.

This paper outlines a small study undertaken to assess user perspectives on the concept of social prescription services. Social prescribing is a mechanism linking patients in primary care with non-medical sources of support within the community. The work presented here supports the idea of patients becoming ‘active partners’ by providing health literature that is designed to suit their health literacy along with a service which introduces patients to actual programmes and services in their local area which suit their specific condition. By using innovative digital technology patient engagement is encouraged leading to greater self-care and independence in relation to long-term condition management.

Supporting People with Dementia During Night Time
The quantity and quality of sleep has a direct impact on the quality of life for people with dementia and their carers. Many research questions remain to be explored: (1) How to monitor and assess the quantity and quality of sleep objectively and ubiquitously? (2) How does sleep pattern change over the course of various disease types? (3) What variables should be used to assess sleep patterns? (4) What feedback format can be used in telecare service? And (5) What support can be provided to ameliorate sleep disturbances suffered by people with dementia?
The main interest to telecare service is to monitoring shifts in sleep patterns and to flag the unusual patterns, so as to observe the changes of clients’ health condition. In this study we examine three types of sleep information: quantity, quality, and rhythm. The bed sensor and the PIR sensors are triggered by the events in seconds. Events such as turning over in bed could trigger the bed sensor and the bedroom PIR sensor. To remove this type of short time trigger and extract the in-bed and out-of-bed events, various rules were applied. Visual feedback is one of the key issues in telecare systems, as telecare staff and the clients’ carers may be novice ICT users.
A total of n=8 individual participants with dementia completed the 3 month final evaluation phase of the project with fully deployed systems. The different sleep patterns observed between the clients are consistent with the clinical observation that most people with dementia suffer sleep disturbance, have more sleep episodes and lower sleep quality.
It is feasible to detect unusual sleep patterns and monitor the trend of the changes. This system could also be used to provide information for the prevention of the risks of other mental health issues that might be triggered by the sleep disorder.

Behavioural Usage Analysis of a Reminiscing App for People Living with Dement...
The potential for technology to support memory or enhance cognition for people living with dementia is currently an area of significant interest. The use of traditional reminiscence memory books and latterly digital systems to facilitate reminiscing has been shown to have some benefit for people living with dementia. However, there is a paucity of research that explores how people living with dementia actually interact with digital reminiscence systems. This work presents a new contribution to knowledge from work-in- progress in a feasibility study of facilitated reminiscence for people with dementia and results show promise in understanding the behaviour of users of interactive technologies.

Strategic use of Twitter in Local Government: A Northern Ireland Study
This paper presents the results of a survey of Twitter usage in Northern Ireland’s twenty-six councils. The data was gathered in Summer 2012. The research questions were developed from a review of the literature on use of social media by government and focused on the role of social media as a communication channel to local government, examining the dialogue between government and citizen and the sentiment of such dialogue. The results show significant heterogeneity in Twitter use amongst the councils; with many not engaging at all, while a small number were highly engaged with their citizens. Regardless of the perspectives of the councils, there was evidence that there was a demand from the citizens for conversations that was not being met by the councils. The paper recommends that councils need to define a social media strategy in order to maximise the use of social media, but reflects that the councils should find it easy to engage with citizens by simply asking them via Twitter.
