3ie funds high-quality impact evaluations that are policy-relevant and useful for decision-making. 3ie has learned that researchers must engage stakeholders early and throughout the process to increase the likelihood of findings being taken up and used. 3ie now requires researchers to develop policy influence plans and engage in ongoing discussions with implementing agencies to ensure studies answer relevant questions and produce feasible recommendations. While impact evaluations can provide compelling evidence, uptake is a political process and single studies rarely drive major policy changes.

The document discusses three paradigms in research and innovation funding: a "hands-off" approach to basic science; a shift in the 1960s to tune science to societal needs; and a focus since 2000 on addressing "grand challenges." It also examines principles of good governance for national innovation systems, including distributed intelligence, subsidiarity, and balancing different funding elements. Case studies of the Czech Republic, UK, and Norway systems show that performance-based funding systems can incentivize behavior change but also risk gaming, unintended effects, and undermining interdisciplinary work unless carefully designed.

Twitter and Teaching: to Tweet or not to Tweet?
As increasingly more new skills are necessary for graduates entering the workplace or seeking employment, business leaders, politicians and educators suggest that if students are to succeed in today's world, they will require 21st century skills. However, there is no single agreed-upon set of skills. We argue that social media skills are becoming ever more important for employment and society should class them as important 21st-century skills from maintaining well-rounded social media profiles to more advanced data science and analytic skills. At the same time, such a demand affects the teaching process since teachers have to acquire new knowledge about the available tools. Twitter as a microblogging platform is definitely one of the tools that is a part of 21st-century social skills. Thus, by integrating it into the teaching process, Twitter can generate new experiences for both sides, the students and the teachers. In this paper, we conduct a descriptive review of the recent literature that covers Twitter use in teaching. We reviewed results from the top 100 retrieved research results in Web of Science on Twitter and teaching in the domains of social science, science technology, and arts and humanities. We analysed the results quantitatively in terms of content, methods, and methodologies and qualitatively as the description of results found in selected papers that meet certain criteria. This paper also discusses different research departure points for use in further research of the topic.

Linking research and end users
This document discusses the challenges of linking research to end users and decision makers. It identifies several challenges, including researchers and end users speaking different languages, difficulties defining practical problems as research questions, and uncertainties around how research will be applied. It then provides solutions such as collaborating with end users early in the research process, using knowledge brokers to facilitate communication, providing case studies and funding to support knowledge translation activities, and connecting researchers and end users through databases and forums. The overall goal is to improve how research informs real-world policy and practice decisions.
141-Smith In search of indicators to support the perfect cluster
This document discusses challenges in evaluating clusters and describes efforts to address these challenges. It begins by noting the lack of evaluation methods that can adequately capture the impacts of cluster policies, including their qualitative and collaborative elements. It then outlines a process that brought together academics, policymakers, and practitioners from 2012-2016 through workshops and conferences to identify key challenges. This included 1) capturing human/collaborative elements, 2) developing pragmatic indicators, 3) selecting evaluation techniques, 4) addressing complex interactions, and 5) emphasizing learning over auditing. Through this iterative process, the group developed an evaluation framework based on characteristics of an ideal cluster and a set of principles. They are now developing a survey tool to test this framework and better

This document summarizes a presentation on how experience with cluster policies can inform the development of smart specialization strategies. It outlines three key differences between cluster policies and smart specialization strategies, but also notes important synergies. Specifically, it discusses how existing clusters can provide insights into analyzing regional contexts, ensuring stakeholder participation in governance, constructing a shared vision, identifying priorities, and integrating monitoring and evaluation. The presentation argues that rather than abandoning existing cluster policies, smart specialization strategies should build upon the experiences and assets developed through long-running cluster initiatives.

SRA Poster Justice_Giannoni October 2015 final
This document discusses research infrastructure and the need for sustainable succession planning. It notes that indirect costs from grants help support research infrastructure, but there is a need for greater transparency in how these funds are reinvested. The document advocates for investing in research administration models and highly trained professional staff to support the evolving needs of the research enterprise and comply with increasing regulations. It argues that the 26% administrative cap on grants is now too low given higher compliance costs and recommends that this cap be changed to allow for more sustainable research support structures.

Oer panel
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP). It defines OER and OEP, presenting a framework with four dimensions of OEP: strategies and policies, barriers and success factors, tools and tool practices, and skills development and support. The framework is depicted as a cube with three levels - micro (individual), meso (organizational) and macro (societal) - to show how OEP are established within each context. Case studies are mapped onto the framework to illustrate its uses for benchmarking, guidance and reflection. Guidelines for those involved in OER are proposed based on better understanding the key issues within each dimension of OEP.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
