📢 #ATTRACTproject 📢 How do EU innovation programs foster serendipity in research and business? 🧐 #CASEIA investigates the socioeconomic impacts of these projects by focusing on how these institutions and businesses achieve innovation. The research team developed an analytical framework to evaluate the impacts across six key dimensions and conducted three case studies: one from a research institution, one from a business, and a control case outside ATTRACT 🚀. The study identified different types of serendipity and explored how research institutions primarily produce incremental innovations, while businesses, being more comfortable with risk, tend to achieve commercial breakthroughs. ✅ Discover more about it ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eJtK6my2 Dr. Sonia Utermann GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft HSRC (Human Sciences Research Council) Steinbeis GmbH & Co.

Our LiCORNE EU Project co-organises the first Symposium on Direct #Lithium Extraction ⤵️ Immediately after its M24 Consortium meeting, expected in October 2024, the LiCORNE project will co-organise the first edition of the Symposium on #DirectLithiumExtraction (SDLE). 📆 The event is hosted between 17 and 18 October 2024 by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). This symposium will delve into the latest advancements and #innovativetechnologies in the field of #DirectLithiumExtraction (DLE), fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange to drive forward this critical sector. 🔗Discover the programme: https://lnkd.in/e2rWcJ2j #DirectLithiumExtraction #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Innovation

𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝: 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠! In light of recent plans to reduce federal funding for science in Switzerland, we at CIEB Universität Basel have launched a miniseries on the #importance_of_science_for_innovation. This series aims to highlight the critical role that scientific research plays in fostering breakthrough innovations and ensuring Switzerland's continued competitive edge in the global innovation landscape. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬: 🔹A growing number of innovations are based on ideas from science. 🔹Ideas from science are important in all fields of technology. 🔹Science-based innovations have a higher impact. 🔹There are regional disparities in translating science into high-impact innovations. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 🇨🇭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫? The results clearly show that science is not only about discovering new concepts and phenomena but also serves as the foundation for high-impact innovations that drive economies forward. For Switzerland to maintain its status as a global leader in innovation, robust support for scientific research is essential. However, with potential cuts in science funding, this could adversely affect the development of breakthrough innovations and jeopardize its position as an innovation leader. #Innovation #Science #Patents #Research Christian Rutzer Till Schmidlin

Our commitment - your result, our cooperation - your value, our passion - your innovation, our project - your project... To companies and public institutions, Fraunhofer Italia is the applied research organization that turns research and scientific knowledge into customized practical solutions, in order for companies and public institutions to innovate and stay competitive because research means progress. It is with this statement, in which all the team strongly believes, that we are now officially launching the new Fraunhofer Italia claim. A claim that has always driven us through our daily work, but we have never pointed it out before. Lately, also due to the important changes that 2024 will bring, we felt the urge to make our vision really visible to everyone. It was important for us to look at what we do both from the researcher and the project partner point of view...and this is what we saw #ourresearchyourprogress Watch the claim teaser: https://lnkd.in/d6QzVg4s Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft

【#CUHKnews】CUHK achieves most awards among local institutions in ITC’s RAISe+ Scheme The Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC) of the Hong Kong government announced the results of applications for the inaugural Research, Academic and Industry Sectors One-plus Scheme (RAISe+ Scheme) and held a signing ceremony yesterday (28 May). CUHK’s research teams have been granted funding for seven projects, the highest number of awards among local institutions. This achievement highlights CUHK’s dedication to pioneering research and its commitment to nurturing industry collaborations. The CUHK-led projects cover a diverse range of innovative areas from #advancedengineering, #biomedical to #biotechnology, demonstrating a high level of technology readiness that enables the translation of research outcomes into downstream product developments.
