ENTOV-HVM High Level Timeline

This blog post is a draft response to “Section 4 Implementation / Section 4.1 Coherence and Effectiveness of Work Plan / Section 4.1.4 GANTT Diagram” in the technical annex of the planned COST 2019 Open Call Proposal Reference: OC-2019-1-23678 "Open European Network for Enterprise Innovation in High Value Manufacturing (ENTOV-HVM)". The image shows the high level plan which has also been circulated separately.
 
While the actual progress of ENTOV-HVM will be significantly influenced by emergent events, (lack of) success in grant submissions and marketing efforts a generic high level plan will serve as a baseline for managing progress against aspirations.

Management Committee & Work Group Meetings will occur quarterly either virtually or blended in conjunction with training schools and joint research-industry workshop events (three day events at alternating proposer institutions).

Public grant proposal submissions will occur quarterly and alternate between submissions to COST and the European Research Council (ERC). Regional and industry grant proposal submissions will be completed on an ad-hoc basis as opportunities arise. All grant proposal submissions will be focused on either the ENTOV-HVM project itself, content areas emerging with a critical mass of participants (i.e. SMART Cities, Autonomous Driving, Robotic Manufacturing etc.), and / or specific challenges made public for funding.

Collaborative research studies will be conducted annually for a duration of six (6) months leading to submission to an international peer review journal with leading impact factor with following results presentations at conferences. Research studies will be sponsored financially by industry participants and sponsored through research resources by research participants (i.e. practicums, Bachelor / Master / PhD efforts).

Training Schools & Joint Industry-Research Workshops will be held as quarterly (three day) events in conjunction with the management committee and work group meetings at alternating proposer institutions. The preparation time for these events is expected to be six (6) months since not only industry participation, but also participants for the innovation cohorts needs to be solicited.

At each training school & joint industry-research workshop a cohort of ~20 innovators will launch into the four (4) phase innovation web process which includes living labs at each phase and are actively facilitated by ENTOV-HVM web weavers. Other deliverables include a template for web weaving campaigns needed to solicit participation at workshops and innovation cohorts, an innovation web health monitoring dashboard based on intellectual and financial capital principles, the accreditation of the training school content as a stand-alone MBA level course and an online platform for matching innovation web roles.

Accelerating the Diffusion of Green Hydrogen Solutions - Introducing an Innovative Masters Thesis

Bild
The Open European Network for Enterprise Innovation is supporting an innovative Masters Thesis being conducted at the Technical University of LIsbon by a great young colleague  Lourenço Horta Correia. Please see below for more information and do feel free to reach out to him if you have ideas / can support his efforts with case studies. The image shows the first sketches of supply chain pathways and will be extended continuously to illustrate existing and planned pathways with their relevant diffusion performance and innovation opportunities. The world is facing unprecedented challenges regarding climate change and Green House Gases (GHG) emissions and the European Union is responding to these issues setting an ambitious yet attainable action plan for a systematic transformation towards a carbon-neutral continent by 2050. Green Hydrogen – meaning hydrogen produced from renewable energies – will be a major player for a sustainable energy transition as an energy carrier with numerous...

Design Principle #4 for 84% Innovation Adoption – Technology Readiness Level

Bild
This series of blog posts describes the principles relevant for designing an innovation for rapid adoption by 84% of a target group. 84% adoption is the threshold for achieving sustainable change. The underlying theory stems from the "invisible college" around Rogers, E.M. (2003) “Diffusion of Innovations.” which reminds us that adopters are grouped as Innovators 2%, Early Adopters 14%, Early Majority 34%, Late Majority 34% and Laggards 16%. Designing innovations (and the change intended by them) to reach the Late Majority is a very different game than that typically "played" (which actually only focuses on the Innovators and Early Adopters). Such "designs" depend on understanding our own body of work which skilfully integrates systems thinking, living systems principles, complexity thinking etc. None of the design principles we will discuss are “innovative” – it their blending and orchestration to achieve 84% adoption that is the art of “deep diffusion”...

Forecasting Whole Life Cycle Cost Uncertainty of EU Municipalities - Consolidator/Marie Curie Proposals

Bild
T ogether with Lisbon University Instituto Superior Técnico Department of Civil Engineering and relevant research team (to be determined), we will be preparing an ERC Consolidator grant request for submission in mid-October 2021 with funding decision expected in March 2022 (see https://erc.europa.eu/news/calls-2022-tentative-dates ). This proposal will include one or more post-doctoral positions for which we will set up individual / parallel Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Fellowship applications (see https://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/actions/individual-fellowships_en and https://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/actions/get-funding_en ). Title: “A Framework for Forecasting Whole Life Cycle Cost Uncertainty of EU Municipalities” Abstract: “Directly and indirectly people and societies task nations and cities to aspire to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A primary challenge on this journey is forecasting the related whole life cycle costs as robustly as poss...
