Modelling and Measuring Sustainable Lifestyle Transition to 2050Patrick Niemann
This webinar presentation summarized findings from the EU-InnovatE project, which models and measures sustainable lifestyle transitions to 2050. The project uses an agent-based model to simulate societies and evaluate the impact of adopting user innovations in different domains like food, energy, living and mobility. Emerging findings show that widespread adoption of various user innovations across these domains has the potential to transition European societies to sustainable consumption levels. Public policies and societal interventions that accelerate innovation adoption can significantly reduce carbon emissions and resource use. The project will continue measuring trends, designing future scenarios, and evaluating pathways to accelerate sustainable entrepreneurship and lifestyle changes.
This document discusses challenge driven innovation and its implications for policy approaches. It proposes a 3-step conceptual approach to challenge driven innovation: 1) feasibility assessment, 2) experimentation, and 3) roll-out. While innovation policies still focus on science and market-driven approaches, demand-driven and challenge-driven innovation is emerging. Real systemic challenge-driven innovation policies are still lacking. The document examines experiences with challenge-driven innovation in healthcare, education, and entrepreneurship ecosystems. It concludes that challenge-driven innovation has potential for growth and societal issues but remains untapped due to institutional barriers.

Hungary implemented a single Smart Specialization strategy (S3) for 2014-2020, rather than regional strategies, as the Entrepreneurial Discovery Process did not find significant differences between regional priorities. The S3 strategy identified 6 sectoral and 2 horizontal priorities. Regions were divided into 3 types based on their research and development capacity and economic development. The strategy is monitored regularly to track progress on priority areas and allow adjustments to be made to public policy and funding programs based on results. Monitoring provides insights into the short-term effects of multiple public programs and their alignment with S3 priorities.

NI collaborates with various educational institutions including CERN and the University of Debrecen (DE TTK) in Hungary. As part of the collaboration, NI provides lab equipment and LabVIEW licenses to electrical engineering students at DE TTK and hosts visits for students to tour its facilities. The collaboration has resulted in joint research projects between NI, CERN, and other institutions. However, the NI Open Laboratory has been underutilized with no significant interest from the local region in the research opportunities it provides.
