UNIVERSITY AND INDUSTRY INTERACTION IN LEARNING FROM INCIDENTS:The Change Laboratory as a means of intersectoral and interdisciplinary boundary crossing
Caledonian Academy Research seminar series. Glasgow Caledonian University. 10-02-2011
Promotion of industry academia collaborationCarlos Fosca
Posibilidades de colaboración entre la Industria y el mundo académico en los ámbitos de la educación, la resposanbilidad social y la I+D+i
Presentación realizada en The 12th APEC Future Education Forum, el 03 de octubre del 2016 en LIma, Perú.
This document discusses opportunities for collaboration between academia and industry to drive efficiency in research. It notes that while academia traditionally focused on pure research and industry on profit, drug discovery now requires a mixed model with contributions from both. Effective collaborations could help address challenges like rising costs and project attrition. However, differences in culture and goals can hamper partnerships. The document recommends developing focused projects and consortia, addressing intellectual property and conflicts of interest upfront, and managing collaborations strategically like an investment portfolio to maximize their potential for innovation.
Training for a career in science begins with formal theoretical and practical instruction at an academic institution, often followed by advanced training and eventual employment also at an academic institution. This career path is one which has been historically taken by most scientists.
In recent years, increasing numbers of academic scientists are choosing commercial laboratories to pursue their research careers. This shift in career path is driven to a large degree by the eroding of financial support for academic scientists, as evidenced by the downward trend in the funding rate for grants submitted to the NIH, NSF, and private foundations. Perhaps the greatest challenge for an academic scientist contemplating a move to a commercial laboratory is to adjust their thinking of ‘doing science for science sake’ to ‘doing science for commercializing a product’.
This insightful Webinar will cover areas to be considered when making this career change, including the culture of the commercial laboratory working environment, career advancement, scientific recognition, mentoring, and availability of opportunities.
5 Key Take-Aways:
Similarities and difference between academic and commercial laboratory working environments
Suggestions on how to increase your autonomy and independence in conducting research at a commercial laboratory
How to ‘hedge your bets’ so that deadlines and milestones are reached
Balancing publishing and intellectual property generation
The difference in costs between academic and commercial laboratory research
Who Should Attend:
Any academic PI, scientist, post-doc, graduate student, technician contemplating a move from a university-based research laboratory to a commercial biotechnology or pharmaceutical development laboratory.

A practice perspective on the challenges of Inquiry Based LearningFleur Prinsen
1) The document discusses challenges in designing, implementing, and researching inquiry-based learning (IBL), and argues that IBL should be viewed as a practice rather than just a pedagogical approach.
2) Key challenges for IBL include student motivation, accessibility of investigation techniques, background knowledge and skills, and practical constraints, but the document suggests reframing these as issues of developing an IBL culture of learning.
3) True IBL involves engaging students in continuous, meaningful inquiry activities organized around shared goals and applying skills/attitudes for participation in a community of inquiry.
This document discusses networked identity and includes figures in full color from the Nordic Journal of Youth Research. It identifies 4 types of networked identities but does not provide any further details about the types or the content of the figures.
Reading and writing ones network: Multidiscursive identity practicesFleur Prinsen
This document discusses literacy practices of Dutch-Moroccan youth through analysis of their social networks. It identifies four main network types: 1) dense networks of similar others where literacy supports cultural identity, 2) family-centered networks using literacy for familial ties, 3) offline networks with little online literacy, and 4) fragmented bridging networks where literacy extends limited social resources. Network expansion through online literacy depends on available discourses and their meaning to individuals as they interpret and shape their social networks.

The OERu is an international community focused on widening access to education through open educational resources (OER). It has a shared goal and values related to open education. The community is organized through central coordination of a core group and quality standards, as well as institutionalized subnetworks. Common practices include coordinating the community, co-creating OER, and contributing to debates about OER. While the community shows signs of cohesion, further development of shared practices and embedding OER use within educational institutions could help strengthen networked learning activities across the wider community over time.
Knowledge processes in various online communitiesFleur Prinsen
The document discusses knowledge processes developed by Dutch teenagers in various online communities. Interviews show that social networks help develop social skills and introduce different ways of expressing opinions, building arguments, and considering different audiences. Different online communities provide different affordances for gaining practical or reflective knowledge. Preferences for offline social contact also influence online interactions. Awareness of diverse knowledge practices in different online and social communities could provide opportunities for school learning.
