** MOVED TO Q1 2021 ** Invitation to University Sponsored Student Teams to Participate in the 2020 Business Case Competition “Accelerating the Diffusion of Innovation in High Value Manufacturing”

** MOVED TO Q1 2021 **

 The Open European Network for Enterprise Innovation in High Value Manufacturing (ENTOV-HVM) hereby invites student teams of any size and from any faculty and sponsored by their professors at universities located within the EU28 member nations to participate in the 2020 Business Case Competition.

The panel will be chaired by Professor Piero Formica (Professor, Senior Research Fellow, Innovation Value Institute, Maynooth University, Ireland) and further panel participants currently are Professor Leif Edvinsson (New Club of Paris, Sweden), Dr. Sami Kazi (Senior Principal Scientist, Research Strategy and Foresight at VTT, Finland) and Lynne Schneider (CEO Entovation International Ltd., USA).

ENTOV-HVM aims at strengthening Europe's innovation capacity and at fostering innovation in higher education, business and the broader socio-economic environment of the European Union by identifying, developing, and sustainably implementing measures to disruptively accelerate the value creation of innovative ideas in high value manufacturing from inception to late adopters and laggards in markets at individual, organizational and systemic levels.

The business case study competition will be held in September 2020 as a virtual event hosted by ENTOV-HVM. The competition will consist of student teams from multiple universities across Europe evaluating an industry case study in order to then compete in recommending actionable and “Next Practice” research-based interventions for achieving the value proposition thereof.

Participating teams will be trained in relevant analysis approaches and then collaborate online (with expert guidance) over a three-week period in order to arrive at recommendations. The recommendations will be presented to, and evaluated by, an Evaluation Panel consisting of seasoned representatives from industry and research, including participants of the case study itself.

Results of the competition will form the basis for the submission of a paper to a leading international research journal and shape scholarship grant requests for the winning team participants if desired. The winning team will furthermore receive a cash prize and the opportunity to run a six-week Living Lab at a selected industry partner of ENTOV-HVM for a theme of their choice.

We look forward to hearing from you and more details will be published over the coming weeks.

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...
