Features of interactions between research groups and organizations: evidence from a longitudinal analysis of the Brazilian innovative health system Janaina Ruffoni (PPGE /UNISINOS) Research Group: Innovation Systems, Strategy and Policies (InSysPo) Ana Lucia Tatsch (PPGE/UFRGS), Marisa Botelho (PPGE/UFU), Lara Stumpf International Seminar - Innovation Ecosystems, Upgrading, and Regional Development (FCE/UFRGS) and Rafael Stefani Session 3 - Regional Innovation Ecosystems, Smart Specialization, GVCs (PPGE/UFRGS) Campinas, June 7th, 2018. Summary 1. Subjects 2. Research question and objective 3. TheoreticaL framework 4. Method 5. Discussion 6. Conclusions 1. Subjects Innovation in human health area: • A Science-based character of different segments - ‘drug and pharmaceutical industrY’ and ‘medicaL machinery and equipment’ - make these sectors important from the point of innovative activities. • Networks structured bY muLtipLe agents are the tYpicaL organizationaL waY to generate knowLedge and carrY out innovative processes in the heaLth area. This studY aims to contribute to the characterization of processes that generate knowledge and innovation in the health sector in emerging countries such as BraziL. 2. Research question and objective Research question Which features are presented in the interaction networks between research groups* and other organizations** in the health sector in emerging countries? And how have such networks evolved recentLY? Objective Examine how the networks have been characterized over time and how they have evolved concerning their characteristics and attributes. * UniversitY-based research groups. ** Firms, hospitaLs, universities, associations, coLLeges and pubLic institutions. 3. Theoretical framework Evolutionary Economy and Geography • Innovation as a social process • Interactions with different actors to deveLop and transfer knowledge. • Proximities as important factor to expLain interactions. • Innovation system. • Innovation in human health area • Interactions, muLtidiscipLinaritY, and diversitY of actors. 4. Method • The database used was ‘DGP/CNPq’ CNPq is BraziL’s NationaL CounciL for Scientific and TechnologicaL DeveLopment. DGP is the ‘DirectorY of Research Groups’ registered at CNPq. It is the onLY database avaiLabLe in BraziL with a Large amount of data reLated to research groups that interact with diverse organizations. • The data was coLLected from three censuses for a longitudinal analysis: 2010, 2014 and 2016 (data for the Year 2012 were not avaiLable) • The method chosen was the Social Network Analysis (SNA). It fits appropriatelY with the proposaL and object of anaLYsis: the interactions estabLished bY the research groups. 4. Method • Rio Grande do Sul (RS) was chosen as subject and this state is: * the third highest number of interactive research groups in all areas of knowledge in BraziL, surpassed onLY bY São PauLo and Rio de Janeiro (DGP, 2016) * the third highest number of interactive research groups in heaLth sciences; • Porto Alegre is the capital of RS and its metropoLitan region (RMPA): * is one of BraziL’s regions with greater scientific specialization in health. It was aLready highlighted back in 2006 (Chaves and Albuquerque, 2006) and remains a realitY todaY. Rio Grande do SuL (RS) Porto Alegre Located at the extreme south of BraziL Capital of RS MetropoLitan Region of Porto ALegre (RMPA) Composed of 30 cities located in the east of RS 5. Discussion a) Interactive research groups * Numbers, knowLedge areas, institutions and geographic Locations b) Organizations *Numbers, types and geographicaL locations c) Networks *Figures, indicators, and some others characteristics.
