What Can We Learn from Leonardo da Vinci on Innovation?    Although Leonardo da Vinci was born more than 500 years ago, he remains remarkably relevant today. An extraordinary character—likely gay, a vegetarian, and never formally educated—his ability to blend art, science, and technology offers timeless lessons. (1) Innovation Lies at the Intersection of Art and Science: Throughout his life, one field inspired another. His work across various domains shows the power of combining diverse disciplines. (2) Prototyping and Experimentation: Leonardo's numerous sketches and prototypes highlight the importance of iterative design. He conducted many scientific measurements of the ideal human body, which became the famous Vitruvian Man. (3) Curiosity: His relentless curiosity led him to study everything from anatomy to flight. Leonardo read extensively and conducted numerous experiments. This self-driven learning and passion for uncovering mysteries were keys to his success. In Leonardo's time, the term "innovation" didn't exist. They called it curiosity, invention, experimentation, and, above all, a desire to contribute something new to the world.   #Innovation #DaVinci #LifelongLearning #Interdisciplinary #Curiosity #SITUK

🌟 Today, we celebrate the legacy of one of history's greatest minds, Leonardo da Vinci, on World Creativity and Innovation Day! 🎨🔬 Born in 1452, da Vinci's insatiable curiosity and diverse talents set him apart as the ultimate Renaissance man. From art to science, invention to music, his contributions knew no bounds. But da Vinci's genius wasn't just about his individual achievements. It was about his approach to the world—a relentless pursuit of innovation and creativity that transformed society. On this day, let's channel our inner da Vinci and embrace the power of creativity and innovation in every aspect of our lives. Whether it's improving customer experiences, solving global challenges, or advancing medical breakthroughs, there's endless potential when we dare to think differently. Supported by the United Nations, World Creativity and Innovation Day urges us all to envision a better world and work together to make it a reality. 💡✨ #Creativity #Innovation #WCID

Leonardo da Vinci Imagine Leonardo da Vinci, a true Renaissance genius, born in 1452, apprenticed at 14, and celebrated for his incredible works of art like the "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper." He was a self-taught polymath, dabbling in anatomy, engineering, and more, without a single formal degree. He dissected bodies, designed flying machines, and sketched futuristic inventions, all while being hailed as one of the greatest minds of his time. Now, picture da Vinci in today's society. A 14-year-old with no high school education, sneaking into graveyards to conduct dissections? He'd be slapped with criminal charges faster than you can say "Renaissance man." His multifaceted interests would raise eyebrows, with society probably branding him as unfocused or eccentric. Instead of a genius, he'd likely be sent to a psychiatric ward or put on medication for his "unusual" behaviors. Yet, despite the drastically different perceptions, da Vinci's legacy remains a testament to human creativity and innovation. It’s amazing to see how much we've advanced over the last 500 years, yet how rigidly we sometimes view unconventional brilliance today. Back then, he was a revered genius; today, he might be misunderstood and locked up. Isn't it fascinating how times change? How times have changed for the better? We now have more structured education, ethical standards, and mental health support. Yet, we also risk stifling the next da Vinci by being too quick to judge unconventional brilliance. Just think about how many potential geniuses today might be labeled as "eccentric" or "troublemakers" instead of being nurtured for their unique talents. Let's be open-minded and supportive of those who think outside the box. After all, today's "troublemaker" might be tomorrow's visionary. #LeonardoDaVinci #Innovation #Creativity #Genius #Renaissance #ModernTimes #Education #MentalHealth #Ethics #Society #Progress #History #Art #Science #Engineering #ThinkOutsideTheBox #Visionaries

Leonardo Da Vinci must have been thinking about #digitaltwins when he provided us with this insight: “These are the principles for the development of a complete mind: Study the science of art. Study the art of science… Realize that everything connects to everything else.” This is the ultimate vision for a digital twin.

Today Swedish Defence University and MobilityXlab invited partners to discuss "Innovation for Totaldefence - what and how?" MobilityXlab offers startups and emerging companies with pioneering ideas within mobility and connectivity the opportunity to accelerate with partner companies. Fantastic to hear Katarina Brud share her knowledge, experience and results. Great example on accelerating global innovation based on Swedish collaboration culture. The Swedish Defence University is Sweden's leading resource in, and first choice for, education, training and research in the management of crisis, war and periods of tension in the leadership of both civil and military agencies. Together we can provide exciting events for Totaldefence actors. We are inspired by the Defence Innovation Initiative the Government launched last year. In the frame of the triple helix model with civil and military actors, academia, and industry, there will be more invitations from Swedish Defence University and MobilityXlab. https://lnkd.in/dXKKirjv https://lnkd.in/dwpRx2aK https://lnkd.in/dHw3rmPn

Not really R&D but definitely the codification of a complex of ideas dating back at least to Einstein. Pretty interesting, actually, despite its 2 hour+ duration. Dated January 29, 2024... "In its size and complexity, the universe we inhabit exists at a scale that is fundamentally ungraspable by humans. We have therefore developed tools of perception and abstraction in the attempt to better comprehend it and our position within it. With each revolution in thought or scientific innovation—from Copernicus’s heliocentric model to the invention of the microscope to the detonation of the first nuclear bomb—comes the need to dramatically reconfigure our sense of scale and place. In today’s world, the digital storage of the touchstones of our daily lives (documents, messages, books, music, movies, etc.) evades our ability to fathom its volume through visual or embodied perception. Scale is no longer just a function of size but rather more so now of complexity, thereby evading the scope of our current tools. Though the Eameses’ dream is now literally at our fingertips with our ability to zoom with abandon, what new tools for understanding are necessary to invent in order to address our contemporary issues of scale? Here are some of the questions we will ask: How has our perception of scale changed over time? How have scientific milestones contributed to that shift? What shifts will come next? What is our place in the universe? How can we fully come to terms with its scale? Are we in a crisis of perception? With the ever-increasing complexity of our world, will we ever be able to fully comprehend it? Do we even need to? Should our actions depend upon this comprehension? How can we grapple with phenomena such as the climate crisis? In what ways has scale become an issue of complexity over size? How do we understand scale in terms of both time and space?" https://lnkd.in/epSdUT9E

Let us take you on a journey from ideas to the reality of innovation."  

"Did you know that the first modern parachute, invented in 1797 by André Jacques Garnerin, came more than 300 years after Leonardo da Vinci sketched his version in his notebooks? What if Da Vinci had shared all his inventions with the world? Da Vinci wrote the notes on his experiments backward (mirror writing) to make it harder for other people to read and copy them. Patents play a crucial role in innovation and protection. They grant inventors exclusive rights to their creations, whether they're products or services, preventing others from using, making, importing, or selling the invention without permission. Inventions are the culmination of hard work, requiring not just inspiration but also extensive research and experimentation. Inventors deserve recognition and security for their efforts, knowing their creations are safeguarded from unauthorized use or replication. As Louis Foreman aptly said, 'Invention is a process; you don’t get there overnight.' Patents provide both rewards for inventors and benefits for society by encouraging innovation and knowledge sharing. It's a mutually beneficial system where inventors disclose technical details in exchange for protection, fostering a culture of progress and advancement." #Innovation #Patents #Invention #SocietyBenefit #KnowledgeSharing
