The Innovation Panel

The Innovation Panel is a web based market research tool that is developed by KTH Innovation which allows researchers and students with promising product or business ideas to get early and crucial feedback from potential clients, users and other stake holders. The Innovation Panel plays an important part in indicating how the ideas should be developed, which applications have the most potential and, in some cases, if it is even worth pursuing the idea.

Project based activities are a good way to expose secondary school students to more science and math at earlier grades. In the last few years has been a decrease of enrolment for engineering programs in Spain. For this reason, the University of Girona (UdG), the Social Council of UdG and the Catalan Government started initiatives, with the aim of increasing the interest of students for technology and promote engineering skills, capabilities and values. These institutions support and promote scientific and technological activities of recreational nature that are attractive for students.

The website was launched in January 2012 following a warm-up period in December 2011.

Jellyfish and citizen science

Submitted by ferdinando boero on

Jellyfish are taking over the world ocean, replacing fish. The fish-jellyfish transition is being perceived at the level of the public due to dramatic increases in stung people, impairment of fisheries (due to predation on fish eggs and larvae and on the crustacean prey of the fish juveniles), clogging of cooling systems of coastal firms such as desalinization plants, and power plants, impact on cage aquaculture.

Submitted by Eudem on

The Jean Monnet Information and Research Activity on EU Foreign Policy and DEMocracy Promotion in the Mediterranean area (EUDEM) – coordinated by prof. Stefania Panebianco - was funded by the LLP of the European Commission and carried out by the University of Catania. The project appeared to timely grasp the winds of democratic change blowing in the Mediterranean area. Even if the research topic was identified in January 2010, it became even more relevant in 2011, when popular uprisings took place in many Arab countries.
