This Good Practices Guide for Technology and Knowledge Transfer aims to analyse and extract good practices for cross-collaboration in ICT, by adopting the ”triple helix” approach to engagement of researchers, industry and government actors. The objective of the Guide is to inform police makers, researchers and practitioners in the field of innovation and public policies, as well as decision makers in organizations promoting support to regional or local innovation, on the practices that have been experienced in various development contexts in both, Latin America and Europe, and how they may contribute to the success of local innovation strategies. A total of 15 cases, interchangeably called initiatives, both from Europe and Latin America, were selected for closer assessment. Information was collected firstly in second-hand sources and, secondly, via interviews with implementers and direct beneficiaries of the initiatives and local

  • Manuel Sadosky – Recordando a Un Maestro
    Manuel Sadosky – Recordando a un Maestro Conocí a Manuel Sadosky hace casi sesenta años cuando se reincorporó como profesor a la Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires a fines de 1955. Yo promediaba entonces mis estudios en la Licenciatura en Química y participaba activamente en el Centro de Estudiantes de Química. Junto con los estudiantes de los dos otros centros que había entonces –de ciencias naturales y de física– compartíamos intereses y preocupaciones sobre la reconstrucción académica de la Facultad. Con aquellos objetivos comunes teníamos discusiones frecuentes con los profesores que regresaron a la Facultad durante el decanato interino de José Babini, entre los que se destacaban Manuel y Cora Sadosky. La participación como docente auxiliar en el nuevo curso de ingreso con características formativas, que se desarrolló durante el verano 1955/56, me llevó a establecer una relación directa con Manuel y Cora, quienes compartían una pasión por la enseñanza de las matemáticas. Luego, durante mis dos últimos años de facultad tomé con ellos cursos de matemáticas que me mostraron una manera distinta de ver las matemáticas, menos formal que las de los primeros cursos de álgebra y análisis, más vinculada con las aplicaciones. Manuel tenía alma de maestro, más allá de las matemáticas, siempre listo para dar consejos y recomendaciones. Recuerdo como en, su afán para ofrecer consejos y referencias, solía recurrir a sus anotaciones en una misteriosa libretita negra que guardaba siempre en algún bolsillo. Después de 1966 nos vimos menos frecuentemente. Yo fui a Chile y Estados Unidos durante los gobiernos militares de Onganía y Lanusse y Manuel se exilió en Venezuela durante la última dictadura.

Abstract. 1957 marked the beginning of modern education in computing in Argentina. I was lucky enough to live this part of the history. After issuing an international bid that year, all members of a special commission from the University of Buenos Aires selected the Ferranti Mercury computer to be purchased for the University. Once installed in 1961, an Institute of Calculus1 was created with the aim of improving the use and professional and technical applications of the machine. Almost at the same time, a new course of study was organized, the Scientific Computist2. Those three events, promoted by our teacher and mentor Manuel Sadosky, set the start point of education assisted by computers in our country. The work at the Institute covered three fields: problem solving, research and teaching. Several Working Teams were organized looking to solve “real problems” in different disciplines: Mathematical Economics, Operations Research, Statistics, Linguistics, Applied Mechanics, Numerical Analysis, Electronic Engineering and Programming Systems. The architecture, structure, operation, languages and other characteristics of the machine, quite advanced for the time, determined the specific area of each of the working teams.

La historia de la Computación en Uruguay es una historia de sobre-vivientes que navegaron a través de las frecuentes revoluciones tecnológicas del área y los golpes de estado, las dictaduras, la cárcel o el exilio. Parece comprensible que recuperar (escribir) la historia de la computación en Uruguay, que no llega al medio siglo, se encuentre entre las preocupaciones de estos sobre-vivientes. Mediante testimonios orales y documentados presentamos algunas facetas de lo acontecido en torno a las dos fundaciones del Instituto de Computación de la Universidad de la Republica, en el Uruguay. Nos basamos en entrevistas realizadas a los actores principales de cada uno de los períodos, como ser el Profesor Manuel Sadosky, el Ingeniero Ruglio para la primera y para la segunda en las vivencias de los propios actores de ese período.

The result is that there are many people to thank, both here and in the chapter notes at the end of the book. First, the person other than me who worked the hardest, my wife, Anne. No project like this could be done without a strong partner. Anne was all that and more. Her constant support and understanding made this possible, and the price was significant, from all the Sundays taking care of the kids while I worked at Starbucks to the lost evenings, absent vacations, nights out not taken, and other costs of an all-consuming project.

The last 3 years have seen considerable growth for this program, supported in part by our expansion with specific regional and country programs to better represent our diverse global audience and the growing use of mobile. This celebration of, by equal measures, strategy, execution, creativity and results for individual campaigns allows us to recognize the leaders and innovators who put mobile at the heart of what they do to drive closer consumer engagement. Just as importantly, it also allows us to develop a unique and invaluable resource for the industry and our members. By curating each of the finalist submissions into case studies, the MMA continue to build a Case Study Hub that provides inspiration and benchmarks for all our members and the wider industry. Having a unique resource with this much depth allows us to constantly update what it means to be successful with mobile. By providing a stage for those willing to continuously push the envelope and show the industry what’s possible, the Hub serves as a beacon for the rest of the industry, who are figuring out how to get there – as quickly as possible. If you haven’t yet checked out the Case Study Hub, I’d encourage you to do so.

    MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION JUNE 2015 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION JUNE 2015 REPORT Wait List Only Each year, the MMA brings together the mobile marketing industry leadership for our CEO & CMO Summit. Given the opportunity to network with other industry leaders at an intimate event like this, unsurprising that it has always been well attended and received. But this year saw a marked difference in response, with tickets selling out close to two months before the event. It’s a simple point, but one worth repeating, we are seeing a shift in the way brands are approaching mobile. As budgets get re-allocated, the opportunity for technology and media partners increases, potentially quite dramatically. Unsurprising then, that we have seen a fast and decisive response from leaders in those sectors to this year’s event, but just as importantly the commitment from leading brands to the event as well. Useful to share the indicators we are seeing that the shift we have predicted and spoken about is happening. We look forward to making further announcements in 2015 about brands commitment to mobile, supported by the release of further insights and results from our ongoing SmoX Study. Also worth mentioning, we’ll be opening registration for the 2016 CEO & CMO Summit very shortly… As always, please let the MMA team know if there is anything we can do to help your mobile efforts.

  • Manuel Sadosky
    Entre la frustración y la alienación1 Manuel Sadosky En todo el mundo está en crisis la concepción que sirvió de sostén y de motor a los científicos investigadores del siglo pasado y de comienzos de éste: la ciencia, cuyo progreso está impulsado por la búsqueda de la verdad, independientemente del contexto social y político en el cual se desarrolla, es el gran instrumento liberador del hombre, En esa concepción se fundaba el convencimiento que los países atrasados deberían poner sus máximos esfuerzos en hacer progresar su ciencia que, automáticamente, se convertiría en factor decisivo de desarrollo y liberación. La participación de los científicos, como tales, en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y los dos hechos cruciales que fueron para el mundo la explosión de la primera bomba atómica en Hiroshima y la guerra total librada por los EE.UU. en Vietnam, fueron los grandes factores que indujeron a repensar sobre la independencia, la función y las posibilidades de la ciencia, en forma colectiva y dentro y fuera del campo científico. En todos los tiempos la ciencia ha sido y es una actividad social, condicionada y limitada, como cualquier otra -aunque su condicionamiento y sus límites resulten más difíciles de precisar dado su alto grado de especificidad. Pero, para quien estudie con cuidado la historia social de la ciencia, como lo hiciera el notable cristalógrafo inglés John D. Bernal, 2 los hombres elaboraron, en cada período histórico, la ciencia posible en el contexto del desarrollo socio-económico del momento. En tanto la educación persiste en no darse por enterada de estos hechos y en seguir inculcando la idea que los "sabios" son especies de semidioses interesados únicamente en la búsqueda de la verdad, ajenos al estado social que los rodea y los sustenta y a los ajetreos de la política, contribuye, no solamente a consolidar un mito sin fundamento, sino a desviar a los jóvenes de la comprensión de los problemas reales y de las posibilidades de enfrentarlos con voluntad renovadora.
