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.

EU Foreign Policy and DEMocracy Promotion (EUDEM)

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.

University of Nottingham: The Periodic Table of Videos and Sixty Symbols

Submitted by meghangray on

The Periodic Table of Videos (PTOV) and Sixty Symbols (SS) are a collaborative effort between video journalist Brady Haran and the School of Chemistry and School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. Our two collections of several hundred short videos on scientific topics are hosted on YouTube and are available through our dedicated websites. The two channels have gained an enthusiastic global audience with over 29 million total video views. Though the initial goals of the projects were to produce one video for each element in the Periodic Table (PTOV) and 60 videos about the symbols used in physics and astronomy (SS), both projects have instead responded to a tide of viewer enthusiasm to evolve into ongoing projects far beyond their original scope.

Engage the Research Community

Submitted by susi_poli on

INTRODUCTION
The project has been carried out in the two departments at Bologna University since the late 2010.
The aims have been to introduce and promote research management among different target-groups of participants within the departments: researchers, PhD students and research fellows, on the one hand, research managers and support staff on the other. Dealing with research and its management means to raise issues making both the content and the frame of the term, from the knowledge of grants to financial regulations and bids writing, among others.
