The Unleashed Vocational School. Best Practice In The Context Of Education Po...UWirth
This presentation deals with the so-called "unleashed university", a well-known but also controversial concept in higher education in Germany. It is controversial because as some critics are concerned that academic freedom could be sacrificed at the cost of business considerations and economic rationality. The author will present the main points of this concept. Of course, one can argue that a vocational school is just a school (working in the secondary sector) and not an university (which is located in the academic landscape, the so-called tertiary sector). However, the author is convinced that, if one does unleash a vocational school, it ca n surpass itself. The author will break down the concept of "unleashed university" into an "unleashed vocational school". It is clearly more than just a metaphor. He will show that an unleashed vocational school can, much like an university, be scientific and distinguished, competitive and profitable, international and open-minded about new media. However, and in contrast to an university (and this is the big discrepancy), a vocational school virtually does not have to be autonomous or a stand-alone entity; it merely requires a worldwide network of strong partners to have success. Apt partners can be found in a professional organisation, selected stakeholders in institutions and business, alumni, media etc.). Furthermore, a vocational school has to be customer-oriented - but who are its customers anyway? And what is the added value to customers? Using the example of the Euro-Schulen Trier, a small and straightforward vocational school in the South West of Germany where Health Informa tion Managers are trained since 2000, the author will outline what measures were taken in the past to cultivate a competitive profile and why they had to be taken. He will deal with the role of communication and marketing. In addition, which future measures to be taken to make the institution sustainable whilst also making graduates employable will be treated. This is not less than a paradigm shift, associated with both the challenges of education policy and the demographic shift in Germany.
This document summarizes the 10th "University Meets Microfinance" workshop hosted by the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.

The workshop was intended to discuss new challenges for microfinance, including mobile banking, remittances, and green finance.

This document presents four future scenarios for eGovernment in Sweden in 2020. It begins with an introduction to scenarios as a method for exploring possible futures rather than making predictions. It then discusses definitions of eGovernment and reviews theories and models of eGovernment development. The four scenarios developed are: 1) "Government Goes Private", where outsourcing and privatization lead to fragmented services; 2) "The Limits of Efficiency", where cost-cutting negatively impacts services; 3) "Action and Overload", where open data and civic participation overload the system; and 4) "Co-production of Government", where collaborative partnerships produce innovative services.
The document outlines six activities that can help organizations with foresight: framing, scanning, forecasting, visioning, planning, and acting. Framing involves adjusting attitudes, understanding objectives, and creating strategic work environments. Scanning requires mapping systems, studying history, scanning environments, and involving colleagues. Forecasting identifies drivers and uncertainties to generate and prioritize alternative futures. Visioning identifies implications and assumptions to develop visionary thinking. Planning develops strategic options. Acting communicates results, creates action agendas and intelligence systems, and institutionalizes strategic thinking. The document provides percentages of benefits for each activity and contact information for Andy Hines of the University of Houston Foresight program.

The document discusses lean innovation and continuous innovation. It argues that continuous disruption requires continuous innovation, and that continuous innovation requires new management tools like lean innovation management. Lean innovation aims to achieve 10x the number of initiatives in 1/5 the amount of time through techniques like the business model canvas, customer development, and agile engineering. It also discusses the need for ambidextrous organizations that can both execute current business models while pursuing breakthrough innovations. Examples are provided of how lean startup techniques have been applied in practice, including a case study of a Stanford student team that applied customer development to validate and pivot their business model based on customer interviews.

The IWT SME-programme provides direct support for innovation projects of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating in Flanders. It started in 2001 with the aim of doubling the number of SMEs supported by IWT. The program offers two types of projects: SME feasibility studies for small projects evaluating innovation potential, and larger SME innovation projects to develop new products, processes, or services. Over time the program has introduced different types of feasibility studies and simplified its processes. Selection criteria focus on the quality, valorization potential, and financials of proposed projects. Innovation centers also support SMEs in preparing proposals for the program.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
