🌍📊 The European Commission has published a new edition of the Science, Research and Innovation Performance (#SRIP) report. This flagship publication offers a comprehensive overview of Europe’s research and innovation dynamics, analysing key performance drivers and policy issues. As a crucial driver of environmental sustainability and quality of life, Research and Innovation (R&I) play a vital role in building a competitive, sustainable, and fair Europe. The 2024 SRIP report highlights the importance of integrating R&I into policy to enhance performance, boost private investment, and bridge the technological gap with global competitors. ➡️ Have a look at the video below to discover some insights! ➡️ Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/dVzkNAnp #HorizonEurope #EUresearch #Sustainability #SRIP2024

🌍 First of Two Exciting News ! Embarking on an 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐡.𝐃. 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲!🔄 Excited to share a major milestone in my career journey! As we step into 2024, I've embarked on a full English industrial Ph.D. in Circular Economy, a field that resonates deeply with my passion for sustainability and innovation. This incredible opportunity is made possible through the generous support of the Coselag Consortium and PNRR funds. Over the next 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬, I will be fully immersed in this transformative experience, exploring the realms of circular economy, green energy, and smart cities, with a specific focus on 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬. What sets this program apart is its 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. A significant portion of my time, over 𝟏 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫, will be spent working directly with more than 250 companies, allowing me to gain hands-on experience, enrich my 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, and dive into diverse realities within the industry. The chance to contribute to real-world projects is both humbling and inspiring, as I believe in the power of practical knowledge to drive positive change. One of the most exciting aspects of this journey is the 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 it offers. Spending from 𝟔 𝐭𝐨 𝟏𝟐 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝 will not only broaden my perspective but also allow me to collaborate with experts from different corners of the globe. The prospect of learning from various cultural contexts and applying this knowledge to my research is truly invigorating. This decision wasn't just about the present; it's an 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞. The experience gained from this program will be at the highest education level, paving the way for 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝/𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬 within companies. While my current goal is set on contributing to industry growth, this path may eventually lead me to become a university professor, or both, who knows.😎 How I see the path? Just as my last skialp session, hard but with an immense reward at the end. (scroll the post ⬇) Thanks to all the people that are being part of my journey, in particular Alessandro Massi Pavan and Romeo Danielis , my first and second supervisors that believed in me. Let's keep pushing boundaries 🚀 Here's to embracing change and making a meaningful impact! Università degli Studi di Trieste #CircularEconomy #PhDJourney #Sustainability #GlobalInnovation

📢 Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic funded #MINDSETproject partners have been working on the Mission Oriented Innovation in the NPA Area Assessment report over the past few months. This document reviews the mission-oriented innovation (#MOI) phenomenon and its state-of-the-art in the Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA) area. The report focuses on two main aspects: 1️⃣ Understanding MOI: Analysing different approaches to identify those most suitable for the challenges in NPA regions. 2️⃣ Revision of Existing MOI Experiences: Examining MOI experiences at national and regional levels, covering both partner countries and other NPA member states.

👉 Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of participating in the R&I-Foresight Masterclass in Bratislava. 💡 My takeaways (out of a large amount of valuable insights): 🔦 Foresight is preparation, not prediction: in a time of multiple disruptions, there is no alternative to dealing with possible futures 🤩 One of the most important effects of foresight is the change in your mindest -> develop a future mindset 🚀 Foresight is no rocket science and the training offered a lot of (additional) hands-on approaches to implement it in strategy development 💯 all in all, the training strengthened my attitude to be a future optimist 🍀 Many thanks to: Mikkel Stein Knudsen, Juha Kaskinen, Ville Lauttamäki, Futures4Europe, Výskumná a inovačná autorita (VAIA)
