Innovation Coach - Call for Case Studies
The INNOVATION COACH is an EU-funded project which aims to enhance the innovation policy implementation capacity of 16 RIS NAC regions via the transfer of state-of-the-art knowledge from EU member states, through the involvement of expert coaches. The project is funded by the EC Innovation programme (Strand 3- Structuring the European Research Area) and led by Italian–based member META Group with TII and EURADA (the European association of development agencies) as partners.
Innovation Coach is looking to identify innovation case studies which could be disseminated to the new RIS regions. If you have been involved in a RIS/RITTS exercise in your region or in another similar programme to implement an innovation or an enterprise support strategy, and if you think that you can refer to it as a model of good practice and are ready to share your experience with our community of policy practitioners, please download the case study form attached to this message and return it completed to José Syne (tii@tii.org).
We are focusing our search in particular on good practice in the following areas:
- Entrepreneurship
- Spin-off Creation
- University Transfer Office Management
- IPR Management
- Links between University and Industry,
but all other aspects of innovation mentioned in the attached template may also be addressed.
Selected cases will be published on the Innovation Coach web-site www.innovationcoach.net and the TII web-site, and three outstanding examples will be selected to be presented at the final conference of Strand 3 projects from the Innovation programme, in Spring 2007.
If you have such good practice cases written up but don’t have time to adapt them to the attached template, we would be pleased to receive your contribution as it is.
We look forward to hearing from you by the end of July at the latest.
