  • Chapter 5. Digital Transformation and Capabilities
    5. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND CAPABILITIES 125 Chapter 5. Digital transformation and capabilities Digital technologies are transforming people’s life, business and society. Higher education systems and institutions are particularly affected by digital transformation, which can enable new services and provide new opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. Higher education institutions (HEIs) embracing digital technologies can become drivers of growth and development for their own ecosystems. This chapter introduces relevant concepts and definitions on how the digital transformation is affecting HEIs and presents the specificities of the Italian case, discussing good practices and challenges emerged during study visits. Recommendations for policymakers and leaders of HEIs conclude the chapter. The statistical data for Israel are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant Israeli authorities. The use of such data by the OECD is without prejudice to the status of the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank under the terms of international law. SUPPORTING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN ITALY © OECD/EUROPEAN UNION 2019 126 5. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND CAPABILITIES Introduction: Defining digital transformation and capabilities The rapid development and spread of digital technologies are contributing to change in every aspect of people’s lives, business and society. Digital transformation is the result of digitisation and digitalisation of economies and societies (OECD, 2019a).1 Some authors consider digital transformation as a more pervasive set of changes that digital technologies cause or affecting all aspects of human life (Stolterman and Fors, 2006). The digital transformation is intrinsically connected to what has been defined as the “fourth industrial revolution” (Schwab, 2016): a process through which digital technologies are shaping the future of society and economic development in a comparable manner to the case of steam power for the first industrial revolution.

  • The State of the Art and the Challenges of Policies in Italy
    Messina Declaration (November 4th – 5th 2004) ltalian Declaration supporting the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities promoted and organised by the Library Committee of the Italian Council of Rectors. It is the first institutional action of Italian university rectors to support OA. This event has helped foster awareness of Open Access issues and has boosted interest in Open Archives and related technologies for a more effective dissemination of scholarly content. Since the Messina Declaration 71 out of 77 Italian universities have signed the Berlin Declaration Open Access in Italy In the following years, the principles of open access have been also based on voluntary initiatives, even if the CRUI coordinated them. Over the past few years many universities and research institutions have placed repositories which are based on different approaches: in some cases they collect and make available the entire scientific production. In others, the articles are archived but not made all publicly accessible. 15 Italian universities, research and funding institutions (e.g. Telethon, Cariplo, Istituto Superiore di Sanità, CNR, INFN) have adopted OA policies that support OA and particularly the ‘Green Road’, more or less strongly. 1.

Librarians, IT professionals, senior researchers, early adopters in individual universities and research centres have been actively involved in promoting awareness on OA issues, in implementing repositories, in planning projects, writing policies, developing tools. Initially, the academic institutional hierarchies failed to take any clear stand on the issue. No specific national funding has been allocated for open access initiatives and in most cases the implementation of the Open Archive was financed with ordinary budget expenditures. In a limited number of cases (i.e. University of Cagliari, University of Naples Parthenope, University of Sassari, and University of Trieste) the repositories were successfully funded under Regional spending. To date neither the government nor the Ministry of Education and Research have made any recommendations on this matter or provided any funding.

IRPPS is an Interdisciplinary Research Institute that conducts studies on demographic and migration issues, welfare systems and social policies, on policies regarding science, technology and higher education, on the relations between science and society, as well as on the creation of, access to and dissemination of knowledge and information technology. www.irpps.cnr.it IRPPS WPs n. 49 (2012) Indagine sulla comunicazione della scienza nella ricerca Prime elaborazioni CNR, INAF, INFN e Università Scientists on communication of science. Early elaborations on CNR, INAF, INFN and University S. Avveduto, L. Cerbara, A. L’Astorina, V. Amorese, Agorà Scienza, A. Valente Abstract More than a decade after the publication of the Science and Society report by the House of Lords, which introduced concepts such as dialogue and public engagement that significantly contributed to change theories and practices of science communication, it seemed reasonable to take some time to reflect on the patterns of science communication that characterize the relation between scientists and member of the public. With this paper we would like to report the results of a survey circulated amongst a sample of Italian physicists who were asked to reflect on their relation with members of the public in light of their personal experiences and practices of communication. As it emerges from the pages that follow the respondents communicate science in many different ways that are not enclosed in fixed models of science communication circulated amongst academics, and on the contrary include a multiplicity of activities, opinions and forms of communication.
