  • Sis FVG Operational Plan 2019-20
    PROGRAMME AGREEMENT FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE SCIENTIFIC AND INNOVATION SYSTEM OF FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA SiS FVG 2019-2020 OPERATIONAL PLAN (Article 3, paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Agreement) INTRODUCTION Launched in August 2016, SiS FVG is the networking initiative of the research institutions located in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. Considered as a science and technology “hub” with a significant number of internationally known research facilities, Friuli Venezia Giulia hosts a large community of international students and researchers together with a noteworthy network of public and private research institutions. SiS FVG is a strategic instrument promoting the regional scientific and innovation system and guaranteeing that the research results will translate into substantial benefits in terms of socio-economic development of the local area. The Initiative was established under the Agreement signed on 8th August 2016 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI), the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) and the Regional Authority of Friuli Venezia Giulia in order to reinforce the previous Agreement signed in 2004. By promoting the Scientific and Innovation System, the purpose of the Agreement is to enhance the national and international visibility of the System, to foster the exchange of services and activities among the Bodies involved, to support the network between science and economy, as well as to encourage technical and scientific dissemination and the knowledge on innovation. The Central Directorate of Labour, Training, Education and Family, Advanced Training Service and Research is the regional technical department responsible for the implementation of the Agreement. For the planning, monitoring and operational implementation of the activities, it works in cooperation with the Park Development and SiS FVG Office, operating within the Park Management, SiS FVG and Corporate Training Department of Area Science Park.

  • The Transformation of Knowledge in Business Idea
    The transformation of knowledge in business idea. The catalyst role of Science and Technology Parks Executive Summary The increasing focus on innovation requires paying more attention to the way through which innovation can be developed. Based on this idea, attention should be focused on a cooperative approach that characterises the interactive technology transfer and the capitalisation of knowledge that generates innovation. Through the interconnected and cooperative relationships arising from learning processes and emphasised by the Industrial Network Approach, network actors can share resources and combine competences, thereby increasing their value. In this innovation process, Science and Technology Parks (STPs) play a significant role in supporting networking among key actors identified through the spiral model of innovation in firms, research centres-universities, and public institutions. Investigating the activities of Italian STPs, this paper aims to demonstrate how STPs can generate and achieve a competitive advantage for those participating in the innovation network, explicating their role as a catalyst in the interconnected relationships. Key words knowledge capitalisation, learning network, spatial relationships, resources sharing, triple helix model 1. Introduction In order to meet the challenges of a global economy, innovation has increasingly become considered a key instrument to boost productivity and sustainable growth. Nowadays, strong innovation performances are more important than ever (OECD, 2009). This situation requires firms to give particular attention to the cooperative process of realising innovation based on technology transfer, through which firms can access and combine different resources. Interaction has also become an important means of gaining and transferring new knowledge, gathering relevant information about new business, finding external support and services, and accessing external resources that are not available in-house (Birley, 1985)1.

  • CEIS - Sanità 2008 Regional Health Care
    Report CEIS - Sanità 2008 Regional Health Care. Assessment and Perspective seven years after the costitutional reform and just on the eve of fiscal federalism CEIS - Faculty of Economics, University of Rome “Tor Vergata”. Health Communication The 6th publication of CEIS , University of Tor Vergata- Rome, is the result of a public-private partnership. This partnership flanks CEIS with organizations which believe in the necessity of supporting stakeholders of the healthecare system and offering policymakers access to knowledge. The publication and circulation of the volume to healthecare operators and experts has been made possible thanks to the financial support and commitment of : • A.N.I.A. • Boehringer Ingelheim Italia • GlaxoSmithKline Italia • J&J Medical Holding • Pfizer Italia S.r.l. • TEVA Pharma Italia S.p.A. The partners in this initiative share with CEIS Sanità the necessity to offer elements that are necessary when taking rational decisions both to the operators in the sector and to politicians; offering business administrations the necessary information to improve their programming and organizational levels; as well as offering citizens and their associations some elements for understanding the system’s performance. The Report (which has been conceived, planned and accomplished in the dual Italian/English version) collects the work carried out by CEIS Sanità researchers, and other experts in the sector. 1 Index Difference and Uniformity: where Efficiency ends and Equity begins (or vice versa). 6 1 - Financing healthcare: an

I provide evidence of the emergence in their work of a distinctly transnational approach to literary writing (narrative in particular), founded on a creative way of addressing questions of estrangement, the body, and memory. I consider the work of three authors, who have yet to be fully acknowledged in the Italian literary landscape: the Italophone writers Jarmila Očkayová (1955-present; Italo- Slovakian) and Ingrid Beatrice Coman (1971-present; Italo-Romanian living in Malta), and Marisa Madieri (1938-1996; Italo-Hungarian from Istria), whose native language was Italian. My analysis focuses on the stylistic, thematic, and structural elements that Očkayová, Coman and Madieri employ to engage with and re-envision European models of female subjectivity and national belonging.

Made by: PP7 Title: Interview template Note: This template can be translated to the language of the project partner to facilitate the interview, but the results must be communicated in English. Introduce the project: The respondent will have read an abstract before but make sure that she/he has a clear understanding of the overall objective of SACHE that is fostering creative entrepreneurship within and around cultural heritage by involving two key actors: ▪ Creative Enterprises ▪ Cultural Heritage And seeks to accelerate the dialogue between the two to prepare the conditions for at least three types of medium-term goals: 1. More creative entrepreneurship being inspired by cultural heritage 2. More creative entrepreneurship collaborating with cultural heritage 3. More creative entrepreneurship being established within cultural heritage The aim of the interview is to gain in-depth information on the existing and the possible future cooperation forms between the specific cultural heritage institution and creative enterprises. We also have to identify the possible obstacles of cooperation between the parties that can block or make difficult to achieve the project objectives at the partner.
