  1. The Role of CNR and the New Frontier of Innovation Prof. Luigi Nicolais Sao Luis – July 23, 2012

  2. Main Processes of Transformation Industrial System Brain Powered Man Powered Political System Devolved “Light” State OneCentralised State AcademicSystem Self - Referential System Open System

  3. Transitions • Accelerationoftransformation • Globalisationofeconomicsystems and production • Multi-ethnic social environment, glocalasnewidentity • Science and Technologypushing economy • Small and Medium Enterprises moving from subcontractors to technological partners • Modernity is the synthesis of a global complexity

  4. New Challenges • To maintain competitiveness and leadership in local production systems by investing in immaterial factors and quality level with a low risk of imitation • To connect enterprises and know–how experts on common platforms or interfaces, supported and oriented by the public sector onto specific areas of strategic interest • To develop a knowledge – based Society

  5. Competing on the global market • In a global market the creation of knowledge and innovation are the prerequisites for growth and economic development. • To increase knowledge is therefore the necessary condition for innovation. • People and infrastructures must be involved so that the capability of transforming knowledge into innovation can be increased and innovation can be transferred into new products.

  26. DepartmentofHuman Sciences and Cultural Heritage ITALK Integration and Transfer of Action and Language Knowledge in Robots • The project objectives: • the development of new theoretical insights, models and scientific explanations of the integration of action, social and linguistic skills to bootstrap cognitive development. • new interdisciplinary sets of methods for analysing the interaction of language. • engineering principles and approaches for the design of robots with behavioural, cognitive, social and linguistic skills.

  27. DepartmentofHuman Sciences and Cultural Heritage Fields of Actions: IntegratedApproachof cultural heritage Governance

  28. The new strategic vision of CNR on the European and International stage • Furtherdevelopmentofinteractionswithinternationalscientificcommunities (Science Europe, Global ResearchCouncil, ICS…) • Strenghtening the roleof CNR in EU • Structuredparticipation in EuropeanTechnologicalAlliances and Platforms • Involvement in the major internationaldebates on scientific and strategic policy: Open Access, ResearchIntegrity, PeerReview, ResearchCareers, ResearchInfrastructures, Ex-postevaluation, …

  29. Programming Innovation • Strengthening and developing creative infrastructure • Reducing the gap between academic and industrial research, applied research and innovation development in the enterprises • Encouraging a policy of public investment on projects jointly carried out by industrial and academic research teams • Making public administration more competitive

  30. TECHNOLOGICAL DISTRICTS are born and developed under the drive of 4 very recognizable factors : public insititutions commitment, the presence of talents, the participation of innovative enterprises and of private investors. Public Institutions Geographical concentration of people, enterprises and institutions which together participate to a high – level technological industrial area. Private Investors Talents Innovation Enterprises
