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




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 uses such as transportation, industry, heating, and energy storage. It is seen by many experts as a viable solution to decarbonize different sectors over time. However, this technology is still in its early stages of development with a lack of infrastructure, investment, and with so many applications, the supply chain becomes more complex and continuous improvements are still needed.

This master thesis in Industrial Engineering and Management will focus on the innovation diffusion of the Green Hydrogen Supply Chain. A dependency model will be developed based on available Case Studies and semi-structured interviews to assess how this innovation will diffuse in the current market conditions and how fast will it reach market saturation. The model presented is based on the diffusion of innovation principles developed by Everett M. Rodgers and aligned with recent literature review in the field of sustainable energy and hydrogen supply chain. It is expected to understand how Green Hydrogen and its supply chain will develop throughout time from its introduction in the many possible sectors to market saturation and what are the variables influencing the speed of diffusion and their interdependence.

Roundtable “Improving City Cybersecurity – Accelerating the Sharing of Sensitive Personal Knowledge “- April 21 at 4PM CET

Bild
Dear all, In collaboration with Major Cities of Europe ( https://www.majorcities.eu/ )  this round table  will give us the opportunity for sharing examples on how we could collaboratively change the paradigm about on how to manage cybersecurity threats in a dynamic and effective way. Please contact me at oliver.schwabe@innovation-web.eu if you are interested in participating and I will forward the invite. Background: Daily news about cyberattacks around the world show that City administrations are sensitive targets of phishing, ransomware, malicious viruses etc.  Attacks occur to all our IT systems, sometimes without even us noticing. Managing those threats by being ready to prevent them is a major challenge. Technology solutions, CISOs security officers, national and international official initiatives are essential but not enough. Many CIOs, especially medium / small cities, feel alone in managing these overwhelming issues. Often these attacks succeed with heavy consequences but very

Knowledge Alliance Proposal: WP 9 Create and Pilot Curriculum

Bild
Dear all - this is the close to final version of work package 9 for our Knowledge Alliance proposal. The work package is focused on creating and piloting a curriculum to address skills gaps giving rise to our proposal in the first place, therefore the lack of understanding related to accelerating the diffusion of innovation from ideation to market saturation in high value manufacturing. The ultimate goal is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Accredited Masters program - the most recent selection of such can be found at  https://eeas.europa.eu/headquarters/headquarters-homepage/65938/erasmus-has-selected-44-new-erasmus-mundus-joint-master-degree-programmes_en  and that is also where the image comes from. Description This implementation work package creates and pilots a career framework as a specialisation of the “Responsible and Flexible Career Development Framework for Researchers” focussed on the acceleration of the diffusion of innovation (eco-systems) from ideation to market satura
