It discusses the rationale for public R&D systems in addressing market and systemic failures. Common R&D indicators are outlined that measure inputs, activities, outputs and impacts across areas like the economy, environment and society. Tekes' impact assessment model is presented which links objectives, impacts, outputs, activities and inputs across different impact domains. Examples of indicators used to measure impacts on the economy and environment are also given.
This document discusses new collaborative innovation paradigms and lessons learned from various innovation initiatives and projects. It emphasizes the need for more holistic, systemic approaches that involve multiple stakeholders from different sectors. Specific initiatives and projects highlighted include active and healthy aging projects in the EU, Japan, China, and Taiwan.

This document discusses using semantic technologies to enhance innovation and technology watch processes. It proposes a conceptual model for linking content between innovation management systems (IMS) and technology watch (TW) platforms to improve interoperability. The model would identify elements mentioned in ideas, link to definitions in external repositories, and show similarities between content. The goal is to reduce data silos and enable reuse of information across platforms to support innovation.

Bette Dillehay, Director of Mathews Memorial Library in Mathews, Virginia, presented on engaging local government managers as library partners. She provided background on Mathews County, which has a population of 9,200 and is known as a popular retirement destination. Her presentation discussed how local government managers can use libraries to achieve community priorities through joint strategic planning and ensuring library missions align with community goals. She also outlined various governance models, library assets, service roles, and steps libraries can take to become more engaged in their communities.
The document proposes updating the standard Garvey-Griffith model of scholarly communication to account for new dimensions introduced by social computing technologies. The current model is limited as it does not capture the blurring of formal and informal communication or ephemeral and archival works. Social computing technologies enable new forms of interaction and sharing of information online. A revised model is needed that considers additional dimensions like completeness, access, and intended versus actual audience.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supports public libraries in developing countries through its Global Libraries Initiative. The initiative aims to provide access to information and communication technologies for underserved communities. IREX implements the Biblionet program in Romania, which aims to modernize public libraries and increase access to information for Romanians. The program provides computers, training for librarians, and support for the library association. It also runs a Community Project Contest to encourage innovation among Romanian libraries. Winning projects engage communities and leverage technology, such as digitizing local history for a Russian village library. The program has connected over 1,600 libraries since 2008.

This document discusses challenges for innovation policy in Central and Eastern European countries. It begins by outlining some problems these countries face, including economic crises, slow progress toward an innovative economy, and low relevance of R&D programs to businesses. It then discusses how innovation policy should focus on funding with evaluation, creating an innovation-friendly environment, and supporting collaboration. The document outlines challenges for European innovation policy and how opening up innovation systems can help. It discusses demand-side innovation policies like public procurement, regulation, and standards as tools to spur innovation. Finally, it concludes that demand-side policies should complement supply-side measures to facilitate business R&D and innovation across borders.
Presentation "Innovating for Health and Well-being" at WHO International Healthy Cities conference, Athens, Greece, 25/OCT/2014, Arto Holopainen, Development Director, Kuopio Innovation Ltd.
The document summarizes the results of the 3rd consultation of the VISIR network. It found that 326 participants from across Europe identified several barriers to innovation in education, including lack of teacher training and competencies with technology, rigid curriculums, and lack of evidence on the impact of ICT. However, many participants saw themselves as innovators. The consultation identified several enablers of innovation, such as increased funding for technology and grassroots projects, more flexible schedules, and recognition of innovators. Examples of incentives included awards, partnerships, and career advancements for innovative teachers. Overall, it emphasizes the need for teacher support, research, and institutional policies that encourage openness to innovation.

still only 0.82% in 2007 of GDP.
• Innovations activities in Lithuanian enterprises for R&D are
intramural 44.1% and extramural 26.9% (2004-2006).
• Low participation in lifelong learning 4.9% leads to obsolete
qualifications, actually not suitable for high skill work.
• Lithuanian patents per million populations are 0.37% EPO
(EU level 9.83%).
• Lithuania by the 2008 European Innovation Scoreboard is in
the level of catching-up countries. Lithuanian has only around
1% annual grow in INNOVATION PERFORMANCE.

15. Conclusions and proposals (II)
• Enterprises and science in collaboration have a lack of
innovation strategies, there is no national innovation strategy.
• Enterprises have not enough access to public activities in
public and scientific institution funding programs and it not
promotes entrepreneurship collaborative network with partners.
• There is a lack of measurements about innovation activities
through ICTs. Analysis of networking and partnerships for
innovation, application of networks, partnership for innovation
activities, and productivity of interaction within networks is
rather limited and needs to be developed.
T. Pranckevičius Innovation policy in Lithuanian enterprises 15
16. Conclusions and proposals (III)
• Stimulate collaboration, innovation culture and creative
entrepreneurship: 1) eliminate all not necessary bureaucracy, 2)
promote foreign investments, 3) ensure credits, 4) manage
fiscal deficit, 5) stimulate economic activity and 6) promote all
