Board of Directors, 1957- Biography Frederick Emmons Terman, the first child of Lewis Madison and Anna Terman, was born in English, Indiana on June 7, 1900. Due to Lewis Terman's chronic tuberculosis, the family sought a more salubrious climate, moving to the Los Angeles area in 1905. With the elder Terman's appointment to the Stanford University Education Department in 1910, the family settled permanently in the Stanford area. Lewis Terman, an eminent psychologist and educator, is perhaps best known for his development of the Stanford-Binet intelligence tests. His work on IQ testing was however, only one aspect of a life-long professional

    3rd May 2019 On 19 June, we are organizing in Bucharest an event under the Romanian Presidency on the Pathfinder part of the European Innovation Council (including FET Open and FET Proactive).This is part of a bigger 3 days event on EIC and financial instruments. I would like to invite you to be our keynote speaker of the event, in the session of the event on “From science to future technologies” that will take place from 9:30 to 10:15. If you accept, you could for example elaborate, from your own experience some of the following topics: the need for having a collaborative research low-TRLs in Europe, how can Europe best foster unpredictable technological breakthroughs? What is at stake for the EU in the on-going global technological race? What are the key factors shaping technological leadership? How scientists from the Eastern Countries are perceiving FET and the opportunities for top-down (FET Proactive) or bottom-up (FET OPEN) research it offers, etc. I am convinced that your experience from Quantum research in FET will be highly appreciated by our stakeholders. 3rd May 2019 On 19 June, we are organizing in Bucharest an event under the Romanian Presidency on the Pathfinder part of the European Innovation Council (including FET Open and FET Proactive).This is part of a bigger 3 days event on EIC and financial instruments.

  • A Network Analysis of the SEMI Genealogy Chart (1947–1986)
    Int. J. Technology Management, Vol. 25, Nos. 1/2, 2003 181 The semiconductor community in the Silicon Valley: a network analysis of the SEMI genealogy chart (1947–1986) Dimitris Assimakopoulos ESC-Grenoble, 12 Rue Pierre Semard, Grenoble 38003, France E-mail: [email protected] Sean Everton and Kiyoteru Tsutsui Department of Sociology, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305-2047, USA Abstract: This paper focuses on the emergence of an informal, collaborative and entrepreneurial organisational culture within the technological community of semiconductor firms in the Silicon Valley, California. Using recently developed computerised network analysis techniques and a genealogy chart of Silicon Valley semiconductor firms, it demonstrates how a new democratic community, rather than a hierarchical workplace, organisational culture was firstly initiated with the foundation of Fairchild Semiconductor back in 1957, and more importantly, how this new culture was diffused through successive generations of ‘Fairchildren’ spin-offs, up to the mid-1980s. In the process of critical mass formation they also identified the most central companies in the semiconductor community, including the usual suspects, Fairchild, Intel and Hewlett-Packard, but also a relatively unknown firm outside the semiconductor community, Intersil Co. Keywords: Silicon Valley; semiconductor industry; network analysis; Fairchild Semiconductor. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Assimakopoulos, D., Everton, S. and Tsutsui, K.

  • Paul Hanna at Stanford University
    4 Paul Hanna at Stanford University At Stanford University, Paul Hanna became a leading figure in American education. There he solidified his growing academic rep- utation and parlayed that reputation into entrepreneurial efforts that benefited both the university and himself. He established him- self as a writer and developer of school textbooks and as a consultant to school systems across the United States and around the world. Sometimes those interests overlapped. His entrepreneurial skills helped shore up Stanford’s shaky finances during the war years and enriched both the Hannas themselves and the friends that he brought into his business endeavors. While at Stanford, Hanna became intrigued with the instru- mental use of schools to promote democracy on a global scale. He served as a consultant to governments in many foreign countries and founded an institute to study education as a tool in international development and to prepare policy makers in its use. Ironically, this scion of democratic education came under fire from forces on the political right wing for his associations with progressive educators at Stanford and Columbia Universities. Hanna’s career on the Stan- Hoover Press : Stallones DP4 HPSTAL0400 04-01-:2 13:08:27 rev1 page 62 62 paul robert hanna ford faculty spanned three decades, and his association with the school lasted even longer. It culminated in significant bequests to various units of the university, although, curiously, not to its School of Education. hanna and stanford Hanna first taught at Stanford during the summer session of 1934. Late that summer, his wife Jean joined him in the West, and the two made favorable impressions on the Stanford faculty.
