Happy April! World Innovation Day is this month, so our spotlight this month is on new research about how innovation happens in multilateral contexts. Not surprisingly, it highlights that when states need to agree on something, incremental change is the typical approach. So is radical innovation even possible in intergovernmental organizations? https://wix.to/3mzldzq #innovation #invention #UNreform #reformworks

⭐ Don't miss this Research Call from CSP at the University of Zurich! ⭐ Emilio Marti (Erasmus University Rotterdam), in a joint research project with Tanja Ohlson (University of New South Wales) and Falko Paetzold (University of Zurich), shadowed the Federated Hermes SDG engagement fund for 2.5 years to understand when shareholder engagement works and when not. During this one hour call, Emilio will share about their research insights, drawn from numerous meeting observations with companies and over 115 interviews with engagement specialists. Their research: (1) identifies a new impact mechanism of shareholder dialogue,  (2) explains the division of labor between engaged shareholders and other stakeholders, and  (3) highlights a fundamental problem for attributing impact in sustainable investing.

Our CEO, Bethlehem B., will be in New Haven this week attending Yale Ventures' Yale Innovation Summit. The Summit will gather world-class emerging innovators across Bio-tech, Health, Climate, and Technology sectors. If you are in the area, it's not too late to register! See link in comment :) If you're attending, let us know! We hope to see you there! Cheers! #TheoryAI #BuildingCommunity #BuildingBridges #BuildingRelationships #Networking #Technology #TechnologyConsulting #YaleVentures #YaleVenturesSummit #YaleInnovationSummit

What does it mean to do innovation, responsibly? 🤔 New technologies can hold incredible benefits. But they can also bring disruption, inequity, and uncertainty. Over the past five years, our Responsible Innovation Future Science Platform has been asking big questions. Like, how do we ensure new innovations are fit-for-purpose, and truly needed by Australian society? And how do we consider social and ethical risks at the forefront of innovation – not as an afterthought? To ensure the innovations of tomorrow deliver benefits to all Australians, we’ve developed a unique approach. Here, Research Director Justine Lacey teams up with our senior leaders to explain how we do Responsible Innovation – and how it’s helping answer those big questions.

Congratulations on being part of such an important conversation at the “State of the Effect” Annual Summit! Equity in Action is such a critical topic today, and it's exciting to see thought leaders like you driving the dialogue. Bridging the gap between owning and creating equity is vital for long-term, sustainable change. Looking forward to hearing your insights on how we can take actionable steps toward making equity more than just a concept. Question for the community: How are you actively working to move from "equity ownership" to "equity creation" within your organizations? #EquityInAction #LeadershipForChange #InclusiveLeadership

Responsible Innovation is the next frontier of how we solve problems. The sophisticated evangelist that is Mariana Mazzucato taught Australia a lot about this when she came to teach us her Mission Economy thinking. Bravo Justine Lacey Jill Freyne Jack Steele and CSIRO team. RI has been at the forefront of the way in which my Impact + Innovation Lab model helps connect multi-stakeholders to solve big problems.

The antipodeans Sir Ernest Rutherford "father of nuclear physics" and Sir Mark Oliphant, "Opposer of the fission bomb" were the first experimental demonstrators of nuclear fusion. Why then are the Australian Government and the Federal Opposition not working to get it developed in Australia and bring it back home? New Zealand has, so why not Australia? Interesting articles about Nuclear and I know you haven't looked at Fusion. So let's look at the nuclear or Fission option versus Fusion 1. Fission (Nuclear) Not able to be licenced. https://lnkd.in/gbm2t5uU 2. Authorities have the power to grant licenses for fusion, which is not explicitly covered by the Nuclear Act or the ARPANSA definition. https://lnkd.in/gjKFABpy The above ARPANSA link defines nuclear as fission—no mention of Fusion. 3. A fission (Nuclear)reactor without fissile fuel is a building. 4. A fusion reactor without fissile fuel is a fusion reactor building 5, Fissile (Nuclear) fuel availability and the future cost is a concern, especially for economists and users Dittmar, M. (2011). The End of Cheap Uranium. ArXiv. /abs/1106.3617 Even the UN has identified this, so why does the Fission(Nuclear) industry persist in denying its death like fossil fuels https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr 6. Should the focus in Australia be on nuclear fission advancement or the promotion of fusion technology? 7, Fission (Nuclear) is only at present in 39 countries out of 189. 8. Is Dutton doing a Menzies and wanting a loophole to get fission (Nuclear) weapons to start with for the subs? 9. Australia still has no high-level radiation waste storage facility 10. Helion Fusion has committed to having its fusion version working in 2028 11. The FIA (Fusion Industry Association) has postulated that commercial power fusion will be available in the 2030s. 12. In its fusion conference report in 2023, the IAEA postulated that all International nuclear (Fission) Laws like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty do not consider fusion, so it seems it can be built in Australia now. 13. Fusion is also being developed "Small Modular Fusion Reactors" like Zap Energy and Avalanche Energy. 14. HB11 and the UNSW Tokamak project have positioned Australia prominently in the trillion-dollar international fusion industry. Instead of relying on fission with a limited lifetime, wouldn't it be preferable to support Australian renewables, batteries, and hydrogen energy generators and back them up with a fusion power plant? This would eliminate the traditional waste problem while still providing medical isotopes and advancements in medical technology like MRIs. Let's focus on creating a sustainable future for Australia instead of perpetuating pollution and leading to an energy crisis. https://lnkd.in/ekakyifA
