Scientific research: ➡️real societal impact, ➡️call for teamwork (vs. "research in a vacuum") ➡️across disciplines and sectors ➡️the need to better communicate science - all valued on the other side of the globe🇺🇸:

Collaboration plays a crucial role in the progress of science in the 21st century. It fosters innovation and facilitates the exchange of ideas, resources, and expertise among researchers. Micro ELNs have emerged as groundbreaking technology, so let's take a closer look at how they enable a collaborative laboratory. https://bit.ly/44NyyKi

It is important to recognize the scientific and technological advances that have transformed our world, from medicine and communications to energy and the environment. On Science and Technology Day, we highlight the importance of research, innovation and collaboration in finding solutions to current and future challenges.

Observational fixation - overlooking solutions by confining observations within narrow concepts. Many scientists today rely on pre-prepared solutions during their PhD years, missing out on the essence of innovation. True innovation flourishes amidst adversity. Just as building a chair teaches more than buying one, embracing challenges fuels breakthroughs in research. Break free from the confines of the ready-made and dare to create something extraordinary.

The evolution of innovation cycles is a intricate and multifaceted narrative encompassing centuries. These cycles denote the recurring sequence of technological and scientific progress, succeeded by phases of consolidation, improvement, and fresh breakthroughs.

As part of the doctoral research project, I study innovation collaboration networks in innovation communities from macro and micro perspectives. Here is a small example of how innovation collaborations evolve over the years in open innovation communities in my research context. The project is still in its early stages, but my curiosity to learn dynamic network analysis and visualization has surprised me with this outcome. It reveals a lot about the emergence of small and large connected/isolated components over the years based on the cumulative time-period (2005-2019). (Blue nodes : formal high-status individuals)

Why is there a trend among major journals to focus more on applications rather than the underlying processes and science? Am I wrong to believe that true innovation comes from exploring and understanding new phenomena, rather than merely quantifying efficiency and scaling technology? It seems like public research is increasingly being tasked with the role of R&D, which undermines the high-risk, high-reward innovation and deep knowledge it was meant to foster.

The emergence of informal voluntary organizations capable of triggering “#coopetition” where sheer competition and poor resource management prevailed, can be the key to tackling the hurdles that prevent the establishment of an #innovation ecosystem, according to Dovev Lavie (Bocconi’s Department of #Management and #Technology). An innovation ecosystem is defined as the alignment structure of government, university, and other actors that interact to promote innovation and commercialization of a core technology as their common value proposition. However, research has so far been focused more on subsequent phases of evolution or on the conditions that allow these ecosystems to operate than on the processes that facilitate (or prevent) the early development of successful innovation ecosystems in the first place. A new paper in the Journal of Management Studies by Professor Lavie with Issy Drori of VU University in Amsterdam (“How Do Innovation Ecosystems Emerge? The Case of #Nanotechnology in Israel”), studies how an innovation ecosystem could eventually overcome the hurdles that prevented its emergence for quite a few years.
