The purpose of this study is to identify network changes in the performance of Regional Innovation Strategy(RIS) based on local government-university cooperation in each core field and to derive their characteristics. For this purpose, a network analysis (social network analysis) was conducted on the project contents using the 1st to 3rd year business performance reports of the C Region Biohealth Industry Regional Innovation Platform. The main results of the analysis are presented as follows. First, network density, degree centrality, and closeness centrality increased significantly in the third year compared to the first and second years, while betweenness centrality was lowest in the third year. Second, there was a large deviation in the centrality of the four core areas. Third, as a result of analysis by participating entity, among the five participating entities, the company ranked first in both degree centrality and betweenness centrality in the 1st to 3rd years. The university ranked 3rd, 2nd, and 2nd in degree centrality, and 4th, 2nd, and 2nd in betweenness centrality. Meanwhile, institutions and regions ranked 13th, 15th, 24th, and 31st in degree centrality and betweenness centrality, respectively, in the first year, while institutions ranked 4th in the third year and regions ranked 2nd. The ranking rose significantly to 5th place last year. Fourth, as a result of analysis of the promotion contents of human resources training, research, technology development, employment, and connection, it was found that the contents of business performance were evenly distributed rather than concentrated on specific entities.

Interaction between regional innovation platforms and a pedagogical university: model, features and prospects

Introduction. In the conditions of constant changes and the implementation of ideas of sustainable development, almost every teacher should be able to carry out professional activities in an innovative mode. To do this, it is necessary to immerse pedagogical universities as centers of continuous professional training of teachers in innovative practice. This practice should reflect the characteristics and prospects for the development of regional education systems. The purpose of the article is to identify possible mechanisms of interaction between pedagogical universities and innovation platforms within the educational system of the region. Materials and methods. Analysis of world experience, taking into account the relationship between the general, the particular and the individual, the role of context when comparing different cultural and educational traditions, semi-structured interview, questionnaire, content analysis. The study involved 327 teaching staff from 23 settlements in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The respondents were teachers of educational organizations with the status of regional innovation platforms, teachers of a pedagogical university, as well as management workers from the pedagogical field. Results. Analysis of the research data showed that the majority of innovation platforms in the Krasnoyarsk Territory are localized in the regional center and small towns (83%), have a non-linear nature of activity and are initiated from below (77%), which determines the content of their innovation activities. The vast majority of regional innovation platforms focus on improving existing educational practices (47%) or cultivating new examples (34%). Based on empirical research, a model of interaction between regional innovation platforms and a pedagogical university has been developed, including components: the space of subjects, positions of professional activity, space of events, independent assessment of professional competencies. Productive strategies for its implementation have been established. Conclusion. The obtained research results are of practical significance. Can be used in managing local educational ecosystems. In the future, it is planned to study the mechanisms of interaction between pedagogical universities and innovation platforms in terms of joint development and implementation of programs for continuous professional training of teaching staff.

How to carry out technological innovation in the rare earth industry?

As an important strategic industry in China, the rare earth industry needs to extend its industrial chain to the high-end by carrying out technological innovation. This paper discusses the dynamics of technological innovation in rare earth enterprises and how local governments regulate the behaviors of these enterprises. First, we establish an evolutionary game model between local governments and rare earth enterprises, considering direct and indirect factors of policy regulations regarding the rare earth industry. Second, we analyze the mechanism and evolution process of governance strategy selection and explain the efficiency and evolution path of the local governance system under different policy orientations by finding the stable point of the replication dynamic process. Finally, we use numerical simulation to analyze the impacts of initial willingness and direct and indirect factors on the dynamic evolution process. The results demonstrate that (1) the regulation cost of local governments and subsidies have negative impact on local government decisions and rewards generated by enterprises' technological innovation have positive impact on local government decisions; (2) benefits, direct subsidies from local governments, and indirect performance rewards from the central government have positive impact on enterprises' technological innovation decisions. Based on the empirical results, we recommend that to promote enterprises' participation in technological innovation, central and local governments should create policy for rules and regulations for rare earth enterprises by comprehensively considering the technological risks and spillover effects rather than increasing subsidies. Moreover, based on their characteristics, rare earth enterprises should create an environment for technological innovation and integrate into regional technological innovation platforms.

SRI Adoption through Innovative Alliance-Building: Learning from the SRI-LMB

Given the challenges presented by climate change, water shortage, and land degradation, sustainable agriculture strategies that increase farming systems’ resilience are needed more than ever. This is especially true for sustaining rice production which is the staple food for hundreds of millions of people. Agroecology-based System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is seen as a way forward in transforming food and agriculture systems, especially for the smallholder farmers to build an inclusive, safe, sustainable and resilient society. The findings reported here are based on the engagement that the Asian Center of Innovation for Sustainable Agriculture Intensification (ACISAI), Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand had in the Lower Mekong River (LMB) basin countries (Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam) using a regional project commonly known as “SRI-LMB”. Using a local, national and regional innovation platform that was designed to systematize engagement and strengthen communication for fuelling innovation, more than 15 institutions were involved in the six-year-long farmers’ participatory action research (FPAR) trial located in the 33 districts of 11 provinces in the LMB. The SRI was used as an ‘entry point’ for such engagement-led-transition. Average yield along with factor productivity increased by more than 50% with a significant reduction in cultivation costs, energy use, and greenhouse gas emission. The purpose of this paper is to share results, and also to detail three key processes that led to innovations in different areas for better adoption: 1. the multi-stakeholder platforms used for action; 2. The FPAR that led to community development; the evidence-based policy and strategies that can support the sustainability of rural livelihoods.

Innovations in the System of Higher Education

The article is devoted to the objects of innovative infrastructure in the education system, which are designed to create conditions for the implementation of innovative projects and programs that are essential for the development of the education system in the Russian Federation.

Innovative pedagogic activity from the standpoint of the ecopsychological approach

The article reveals the results of the empirical verification of the ecopsychological model of the formation of the subject of innovative pedagogic activity. The research sample was made up of pedagogues of municipal budget educational institution ‟Secondary School No. 15” in Vladimir (N = 40), which is a regional innovation platform for the implementation of the innovative project ‟Organisational and psycho-pedagogic conditions for the formation of subjectivity of participants in the educational process”. Innovative pedagogic activity is defined as one contributing to the achievement of a creative level of professional self-determination of a person with the progressive formation of its subjectivity in an organised cultural environment. Interrelations of productive stages of subjectivity and parameters characterising innovative pedagogic activity are revealed – attitude to innovations (r = 0.403), creativity (r = 0.483), openness to new experience (r = 0.412), attitude to complex tasks (r = 0.423). The interrelations of the productive stages of subjectivity and the parameters of the educational environment – ‟dominance” (r = 0.459), ‟coherence” (r = 0.436, ‟activity” (r = 0.481); severity of the integrative organisational and educational model (r = 0.468) allowed us to consider the teaching staff as a collective subject. The obtained results allowed us to conclude that the formation of the subject of innovative pedagogic activity should be considered not from the perspective of the personal potential of the individual, but from the point of view of the formed organisational and educational model of the school, the parameters of the educational environment and managerial competences.

Innovation platforms as a solution to the proximity paradox

ABSTRACTThe paper studies what kind of proximities and distances can be found in complex innovation environments. Case-study methods were used, with the research strategy building on experiences of creating a regional innovation platform aimed at development of new models for collaborative co-operation between the private, public and third sector in the context of physical-activity promotion. Building the innovation platform brought various proximities and distances between actors into focus. Distances may explain why some of the actions have not been successful or why some actions involved should be repeated several times. However, this study also highlights the role of distances as sources of various innovation. Distances and proximities are not static, and they could be exploited from a position of knowledge.

Multi-stakeholder initiatives in Vietnam to meet the societal challenges of horizon 2020

This paper aimed at enlightening the emergence of multi-stakeholder initiatives in Vietnam that enable individuals, businesses, and civic societies to undertake the complex sustainability issues in the international business environment. Currently, the philosophy of involving multi-stakeholder initiatives groups in Vietnam for resource management seems overwhelming. Equally, the motive for studying a phenomenon like multi-stakeholder dialogue is a novel outlook that did not catch various researchers’ eye earlier. Nowadays, the European multi-stakeholder innovation platform tries to address the European societal challenges and policies due to their roles in the upcoming new program of Horizon 2020. National policy makers using them as building blocks for implementing different strategies such as research and development and regional policies. The approach of multi-stakeholder initiatives in Vietnam is to respond to the limited capacity and resources of individuals, societal sectors, governments, businesses, and civic societies. Thus, this study was conducted to demonstrate the significance of multi-stakeholder initiatives in Vietnam that create a broad multi-stakeholder (science, policy, business, society, including SMEs, public and private investors) and multi-level (local, regional, national, and Europe) innovation platforms to meet a range of societal challenges through Horizon 2020 in order to facilitate the development of committed innovation partnerships and identify how different types of firms, people, and knowledge at national and international levels making civil society organizations, non-governmental organizations, and individuals and institutions more innovative and competitive. Finally, this paper proposed some recommendations based on assumptions underlying research questions that added value to promote dialogue and collaboration across levels and with key international partners.

Finnish Mosaic of Regional Innovation System—Assessment of Thematic Regional Innovation Platforms Based on Related Variety

The emphasis of Finnish innovation policy has very much been on promoting actions that can be labelled as science–technology–innovation mode of innovation, which is based on the production and use of codified scientific and technical knowledge. However, recent research has emphasized also the importance of more experienced-based mode of learning and innovation, which can be labelled as doing–using–interacting mode of innovation. This study is an attempt to shed light on the current development phase of Finnish innovation system facing the new paradigm. The Finnish innovation system is seen as a mosaic of regional innovation systems. The regional innovation systems are analysed through a developed framework including elements of theories of innovation systems and cluster theories as well as two recent national-level strategy documents. One of the main concepts of the study is related variety in regional innovation platforms. This study also aims at creating a pragmatic framework for describing related variety at the regional level by combining aspects from two theoretical frameworks. The empirical data were gathered in a series of workshops in all the Finnish regions during the year 2008. The result maps Finnish thematic regional innovation platforms fuelled by related variety.

From Specialisation to Diversification in Science and Technology Parks

Science and technology parks have been popular among policy-makers at several spatial levels to promote innovation and economic growth of certain localities. However, this mainly property-led policy tool has been criticised for two reasons. First, it often failed to successfully support regional networking and technology transfer to regional firms. Only unplanned science and technology parks, such as Silicon Valley, seem to have been successfully fostering regional networking and technology transfer which has led, in turn, to the development of competitive innovative clusters. Secondly, it has too often bet on the same horses and become too specialised in the same fields, such as in micro-electronics or in biotechnology. This specialisation has been theoretically supported by the cluster concept. It has led to both a zero sum game of competition between locations as well as potentially negative path dependence and lock-ins. This paper suggests increasingly supporting diversification in science and technology parks by bringing together hitherto unconnected technologies. Several recently discussed concepts could be used to support diversification, such as related variety (Frenken et al. 2007), regional branching (Boschma and Frenken 2011), regional innovation platforms (Harmaakorpi et al. 2011) and transversality (Cooke 2011).
