Yaroslavl Roadmap 10-15-20 10 Years to Implement 15 Steps to Take 20 Pitfalls to Avoid International Experience and the Path Forward for Russian Innovation Policy Israel Finland Taiwan India USA Russia The New York Academy of Sciences is the world’s nexus of scientific innovation in the service of humanity. For nearly 200 years—since 1817—the Academy has brought together extraordinary people working at the frontiers of discovery and promoted vital links between science and society. One of the oldest scientific institutions in the United States, the Academy has become not only a notable and enduring cultural institution in New York City, but also one of the most significant organizations in the international scientific community. The Academy has a three-pronged mission: to advance scientific research and knowledge, support scientific literacy, and promote the resolution of society’s global challenges through science-based solutions. Throughout its history, the Academy’s membership has featured global leaders in science, business, academia, and government, including U.S. Presidents Jefferson and Monroe, Thomas Edison, Louis Pasteur, Charles Darwin, Margaret Mead, and Albert Einstein. Today, the New York Academy of Sciences’ President’s Council includes 26 Nobel Laureates as well as CEOs, philanthropists, and leaders of national science funding agencies.

An Exploration of the Institutions, Characteristics and Drivers of Elite Philanthropy in India
Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Business & Law DRAFT An exploration of the institutions, characteristics and drivers of elite philanthropy in India John Godfrey BA, MSc, Grad. Dip Arts Admin Student ID 1700367 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Swinburne University of Technology, Faculty of Business & Law. Year of approval for award 2020. Abstract This thesis fills a gap in the empirical study of elite philanthropy which to date has been confined to mostly Western philanthropy, informed by Christian and Jewish norms and traditions. This research explores a tradition and practice of philanthropy which has its early roots in dharmic and Islamic tradition yet, as is shown, has been influenced by Western rules and norms. Twenty-eight philanthropists were interviewed. The two religions these respondents most identified with were Hindu or Parsi, though some identified as Jain, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist. The research applies a theoretical framework described as a moral citizenship. This framework brings together two theoretical models developed by Schervish - identification theory and moral biography (Schervish et al. 1998; Schervish and Havens 1997; Schervish and Havens 2001b, 2002; Schervish and Herman 1988; Schervish et al. 2001). These models, they argue, provide the most fruitful way to identify the social and psychological frameworks that mobilise the agency of philanthropists. The methodology used to apply this theoretical framework used long interviews in which respondents were given free rein to talk about their philanthropic activity in their own terms. This methodology follows in the steps of others such as Breeze and Lloyd (2013), Lloyd (2004), Odendahl (1990), Ostrower (1995), Panas (1984, 2019 [1984]), Scaife et al. -

This effort was conducted in response to a letter that was marshaled by the National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship to the Department in 2011, which described how university-based innovation and entrepreneurship is blossoming, and outlining steps that the university community would like the US government to take to further nurture economic value creation in conjunction with universities. This report announced the results of those interviews and conversations in a report entitled, “The Innovative and Entrepreneurial University: Higher Education, Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Focus.” Innovation is a key driver of economic growth in the United States. At the Department, our agencies and bureaus are focused on nurturing innovation, developing advanced manufacturing in the United States, and increasing exports to the world. -

APPENDIX 269 2 Private & Confidential 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The report on ‘Innovation Hotspots’ was commissioned by TAFTIE to study the present R&D landscape in India and highlight thematic areas that may emerge significantly based on future demand. The study also aimed at mapping spatial agglomerations that offer ecosystems conducive for propagation of innovation activities for these thematic areas. These findings are expected to provide directions, which acted upon concertedly, will open up a plethora of opportunities for TAFTIE member agency’s internationalization program. To begin with, it is important to understand the historical perspective. Therefore, the report starts with the evolution of economy and socio-political development. India has come a long way from its socialist principles and economic liberalization ushered by Dr. Manmohan Singh in 1991. Since independence, then there has been a drastic shift in the composition of GDP with agriculture falling below 20% and the services sector reaching an overwhelming proportion of 60%. Over the years, political developments too have been quite significant. Today, India is the largest democracy in the world with the most diverse coalition government. The days of single party rule is over and with coalition governments there is a new set of challenges in terms of reforms pace and decision making. -
