[Visit www.innovationstudies.org for more of our work.] Institutional innovation involves enabling new ways of working within an organisation. Two changes have been at centrestage in pressing for institutional innovation in agricultural research and development (ARD): stronger client orientation and greater use of partnerships. Further innovation in ARD Institutions is necessary to reach development goals. It is more sensible to enable institutional change to cope with an evolving situation in a specific context than prescribe changes. Therefore, there is a need to focus on transition rather than on destination in institutional arrangements.
Next Steps for Strengthening Agricultural Innovation Systems: A Roadmap for I...LINKInnovationStudies
Agricultural growth will lead to poverty reduction. The innovation systems concept is a useful way of thinking about how to mobilise knowledge that suits the contemporary agricultural development situation. This requires new forms of capacity development at a systems level, but what is the road map to achieving this?
Not just the adoption of new technology, (agricultural) innovation also involves a new way of organising farmers to do things, of marketing crops and implementing new projects and new policies. Here we discuss the implications for projects and initiatives.
Agricultural Innovation Systems: The Strengthening of DiversityLINKInnovationStudies
The theme for this presentation is the existence of and the increasing need for a diverse and expanding repertoire of ways of organising innovation in order to cope with the complex and fast-changing agricultural scenario. Accordingly, the challenge is not just to recognise this, but also how to enable the creation of this innovation diversity and how to reposition agricultural research within this rapidly changing landscape.
Systems views of innovation are becoming increasingly important to agricultural research. 'New' Agriculture is situated in a global context that is evolving very rapidly with many different players. It requires rapid response and adaptation to this complex and changing context. Innovation Systems is thus critical as it is a means of organising thinking on ways of promoting innovation in complex, continuously changing environments with many actors and where straightforward technology transfer approaches are unlikely to work

The OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) has brought a disruptive wave of innovation into what is commonly referred to as “Messaging” technology. DDS raises the abstraction level from unstructured, or loosely structured, messages to sound data types that allow architects and application developers to deal with concepts close to their problem space as opposed to having to worry about “plumbing” -- as it happens as with many messaging technologies. As it is common for disruptive innovations to take some time to be digested, many people still see DDS as an ultra-fast real-time messaging -- yet this is only the tip of the iceberg.
This presentation will explain how Data Distribution is different from Messaging and as a result how DDS differs from messaging technologies such as JMS. The webcast will cover the architectural benefits brought by data centricity as well as how the features introduced by the recently adopted DDS specification on Dynamic and Extensible Topic Types will support the design of efficient, extensible and evolvable systems.
Innovation Systems is a concept to help reveal and deal with the partnership and institutional issues that shape innovation processes and shape the contribution of research to that process. It recognises multiple knowledge bases, including research but also others. It is a capability to innovate, not just today but in ever-changing environments — i.e., it is a dynamic, adaptive capability. It is embedded in and defined by the institutional and policy contexts that shape the ways actors and organisations behave

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
