IP Policy
An IP policy provides the framework for strategically managing intellectual property rights. It integrates an institution's mission with national laws and international treaties, and provides clarity for researchers and companies. An IP policy should be developed before negotiations involving IP begin. It must address ownership of IP, the obligations of researchers and the institution, and administration of the policy. Developing an accepted policy requires consultation and establishing incentives while applying the policy consistently.
David Popp, Syracuse University
The document discusses policy tools for clean innovation. It notes that while renewable energy is growing, significant carbon emission reductions require further technology development and deployment. Market forces provide insufficient incentives for environmentally-friendly technologies due to externalities and public goods problems. Both environmental policy and R&D policy are needed, with environmental policy creating demand for clean technologies to drive innovation, and R&D policy helping to lower costs. A wide range of policy instruments can be used, with market-based ones providing stronger innovation incentives than command-and-control approaches. Government R&D should focus on long-term basic research. Technology transfer depends on demand in recipient countries, with the large U.S. market being key for driving innovation.
How important is the C2CN for Europe? Igor Jelinski, EC/DG Environment
The document discusses eco-innovation and merging environmental and cohesion policy in the EU. It summarizes the EU's ETAP (Environmental Technologies Action Plan) from 2004-2009 and proposes moving forward with a new Eco-Innovation Action Plan. The plan would have a new focus on the role of environmental policy in promoting eco-innovation and better coordination between EU and member state actions. It also discusses the potential role of the C2CN (Cohesion for Competitiveness and Innovation) network in supporting innovative regional projects and merging environmental and cohesion policy agendas.
Richie Moalosi
This document discusses the need for design policies in emerging economies, particularly in Africa. It provides examples of how the EU has successfully integrated design into innovation policies and lessons that can be applied elsewhere. Specifically, it outlines Botswana's developing design and innovation landscape, with multiple universities and organizations involved. The key factors driving Botswana's emerging design policy success include unifying stakeholders, promoting social innovation, strengthening education, and assisting indigenous research and innovation. Overall, the document argues that human-centered national design policies can help improve quality of life, and are most effective when developed collaboratively from within.

This document outlines a 7-stage model of development towards sustainable public procurement. Stage 1 involves sourcing and delivering goods and services, while stage 2 focuses on compliance with legislation. Stage 3 is about efficient use of public funds, and stage 4 is about accountability. Stage 5 aims for value for money, while stages 6 and 7 support broader government policy objectives and delivery of those objectives. The document also discusses different levels of public procurement, from transparency to protectionism to procurement for innovation. It lists topics that broader sustainable procurement policies could integrate, such as the environment, social issues, and innovation. The goal, it states, is to make the entire procurement process sustainable and include procurement in sustainability strategies.
TCI 2016 Regional governance and leadership: 3 Dutch cases
This document summarizes a presentation about regional governance and leadership models in three Dutch regions: Brainport Twente, Amsterdam Metropolitan Area, and Brainport Eindhoven. It finds that the regions have different network models for governance based on their history and resources: Brainport Twente uses separate "silos", Brainport Eindhoven a dense "beehive" structure, and Amsterdam a looser "flocks" model. Leadership is sometimes lacking but can be effective if connective, and balance is needed between bottom-up and top-down approaches. Further research on multiple helix strategic networks and their effectiveness is warranted.
Northumbria University
The document provides information about research funding support available at Northumbria University. It introduces the Research Funding Managers (RFMs) who provide one-on-one pre-award support and help with large submissions, training, identifying funding opportunities, and developing research strategies. The RFMs also monitor the external funding environment. Sources of funding discussed include UK research councils, government sources, industrial funding, charities, Europe, and academic societies. Key details are provided about application processes and focuses of different funders. Online resources for finding funding and developing strong proposals are also listed.

EQUAL - from experimentation to innovation
The EQUAL Community Initiative from 2000-2008 aimed to test and promote new approaches to combatting discrimination and inequalities in access to employment across the EU. It provided €6 billion total to support over 20,000 partners in 3,480 development partnerships that tested innovative solutions across nine themes related to employability. Projects went through phases of design, testing, evaluation, advocacy and mainstreaming of successful approaches. The initiative emphasized partnership, innovation, empowerment, and transnational cooperation to develop integrated pathways to employment. An evaluation found it created impact such as new policies supporting inclusive entrepreneurship in the EU and asylum seekers' right to work in Cyprus.

Eunomia Waste Prevention Toolkit Presentation 19-03-2015
The Waste Prevention Toolkit is an Excel-based model that allows local authorities to assess the financial and environmental impacts of 10 preloaded waste prevention initiatives. It was originally developed for Welsh authorities but modified for UK-wide use. The toolkit works by inputting baseline waste and cost data, selecting initiatives, and inputting initiative-specific data. It then outputs metrics like waste avoided, costs, carbon reductions, and recycling impacts. The toolkit aims to help authorities strategically plan prevention programs and justify spending through evidence-based impact assessments backed by case studies. It provides a standardized way to evaluate initiatives while saving research time and costs.

1) Germany is undergoing an energy transition called "Energiewende" characterized by phasing out nuclear and coal power and increasing renewable energy sources like wind power. However, local acceptance of wind turbines is declining due to concerns about impacts on landscapes, health, and property values.
2) Acceptance of renewable energy projects is higher when local communities are involved in development and perceive projects as contributing to climate protection and local identity. Improving communication about climate impacts and coordinating policies could boost acceptance.
3) Guidelines for "fair wind energy", citizen energy funds, and neutral advisors can help address concerns, build trust, and promote local participation and benefits in the energy transition.
Supporting clean energy RD&D: Grants for all?
This document discusses public support for clean energy research, development and demonstration (RD&D) projects. It notes that billions of euros are spent annually by the EU and countries on clean energy RD&D to address environmental externalities and innovation spillovers. However, tight fiscal constraints require reconsidering what taxpayers can afford. The document examines alternatives to grants like equity investments, tax incentives, loans and prizes. It argues grants should be a last resort and support should encourage private sector efficiency through competition, output-driven funding, and co-funding incentives while avoiding institutional inertia.
Dutch Design Week - Kick-off circular economy foundation 20 october 2014
The document discusses the evolution of facility management from an "accidental profession" focused only on immediate tasks to a strategic profession for the 21st century. It highlights how facility management professionals now receive higher training and focus on long-term strategy, life cycle management, and reducing waste and energy usage. The document also describes the European FM Coalition, which aims to inform stakeholders and policymakers about facility management and sustainable solutions.

Ensuring Homes for All: An Equity Primer on Housing Elements
Did you know that your city is required by the State of California to create a plan for how it will accommodate future growth and provide housing for all income levels? This plan, the “housing element,” can determine everything from the future location of homeless shelters and apartment buildings (or their exclusion) to protections for tenants.
Right now, cities are beginning to update their housing elements and to show how they will meet regional goals requiring them to produce affordable housing. This public process – which this year may be streamlined or under the radar in many communities – is a key tool for advocates to ensure equal distribution of affordable housing, homes close to jobs and transit, and policies to prevent displacement.
Come hear our panel of experts give you the 101 on the Housing Element process, why you should care, and how you can get involved now.

1) The FIN-MIPS Household project studied the material footprint of 27 voluntary Finnish households through documenting their consumption over time.
2) The results showed a large range in material footprints between households, from 4 to 40 tons per capita per year, indicating potential for reduction.
3) The project concluded that lifestyle changes are important to reduce resource use, alongside technological and policy changes, and that raising awareness among various actors is key.
WS6a_FundingEnvironmentalPhilanthropy_Williams
The document discusses green grantmakers and the types of issues and approaches they tend to fund. It finds that while green grantmakers aim to be fast, flexible, and risk-taking, they tend to be clumpy and conservative in practice. They show a preference for funding "issue silos" over systemic approaches, and place-based conservation receives around 36% of funding while less goes to systemic drivers. There is also a preference for "on-the-ground" project work over funding aimed at systemic change. However, the document notes that more funders are starting to work on systemic approaches and issues like climate and sustainable consumption and production. It identifies five priorities for sustainable consumption and production grantmaking.
WS6a_FundingSwitchAsia_Tuncer

Sustainability, Development, Social Justice: Towards a new politics of innova...
This document discusses the need to broaden the scope of innovation beyond a linear model to be more diverse and inclusive. It argues that innovation pathways should pursue three mutually-supporting dimensions: diversity, directionality, and distribution. Innovation involves politics in determining its direction and who benefits. A 3D innovation agenda would massively increase diversity, support multiple directions like agroecology instead of industrial agriculture, and promote pathways that favor marginalized groups. Examples are given of more inclusive, community-led innovations around sanitation, health entrepreneurs, plant breeding, and research funding. The document promotes opening up innovation to marginalized priorities and making their voices central through recommendations for international agencies and funders.
