Thursday, 9 May 2013 - 09:15 to Friday, 10 May 2013 - 18:45

The 2013 INGENIO PhD Days took place the 9-10 May 2013 at Valencia, Spain, and was organized by INGENIO [CSIC-UPV]. It offered a platform for international networking to aspiring academic researchers. Attendees had the opportunity to present their research projects, to receive feedback from international experts and to engage an open debate with peer doctoral students from around the world. The event had stretch over two days.

Workshop: Spanning the Co-authorship and Co-invention Networks: A Study of Publishing Inventors in Nanotechnology

Wednesday, 23 January 2013 - 12:00
Using a social network lens, we look at collaboration networks between authors and inventors. Specifically, we study how the presence of publishing inventors in an R&D team affects the quality of the inventions to which they contribute. We analyze the characteristics of publishing inventors by identifying those who span the same or distinct groups in the co-authorship network and thereby provide access to more or less redundant knowledge.

Seminar about Sustainable Construction and Innovation

Tuesday, 2 November 2010 - 09:00
In recent decades an international building system has emerged through the central cities in both industrialized and developing countries. This system includes materials and components that overlap and work simultaneously with regional and local practices. The interaction between innovations developed at different international and local perspectives on building systems could explain how a variety of sustainable construction techniques have emerged in different locations.

Third Mission approaches and indicators: The way forward

Monday, 10 November 2008 - 09:00
As a concept the “third mission” of the university is barely a decade old. It has however become rapidly popular to refer to a further goal to add to the universities traditional teaching and research missions: the perceived need to engage with societal demands and link the university with its socio-economic context. Today governments develop third mission policies, allocate funding streams to its development (the so-called “third stream”), policy-makers and experts are developing indicator systems, and academics lively debate how to integrate the three missions within a coherent university strategy and whether the pursuit of one mission may be detrimental to the others. Yet, despite its success as a concept, it remains a contested one, mainly because of two reasons.
