4. Who we are (a little bit of history...) November 1995 – A research group from Production Engineering should develop an integrated platform (Stela Platform) for supporting distance learning education regarding the administrative processes. The platform should also be compatible with the national information systems in S&T. March 1996 – Stela Platform is launched with a surprising perception by the national media. UFSC - PPGEP

5. Who we are (a little bit of history...) 1997 – CNPq sets us a challenge: to manage the systems that should take car of the 3rd National Pool of R&D Groups. 1998-2004– CNPq hired us to the conception, development and deployment of Lattes Platform (in collaboration with other institutions)

6. 2002 - StelaInstitute begins as a start up from Grupo Stela. It is a non profit Organization for R&D in IT and Knowledge Engineering. We have 65 collaborators among doctors, masters, and graduated in Production Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, and related areas. Who we are (a little bit of history...) Stela Institute Mission “To combine scientific research with technological innovation for knowledge generation that leads to organizational and social development”

9. Introduction Innovation Law(2004 e 2005) • Establishes incentives to innovation and scientific and technological research in industry • It aims to reach technological autonomy and capacity in industrial development • Presidential act last October (11/10/2005) Demand for a Portal • Genesis. In 2004 the Ministry of Science and Technology was interested on “INVENTEC Project” from Bahia State (from 1998). • Demand. In 2004 MCT asked CGEE (Center of Strategic Studies and Management) an instrument that could support cooperation between University and Firms, particularly in the context of Innovation Law.

The conception and development is a result of several institutional cooperation:

11. Main Issues in Building such a Portal 1. How to capture the national knowledge in ST&I in a systematic and continuous way? 2. How to make such competences available to firms for contact and collaboration? 3. How to know the firms demands on ST&I so the collaboration can start from both sides? 4. How far the current technologies and methodologies can lead a cooperation project such “Portal Inovação”? ?

12. What is the Innovation Portal? • The Innovation Portal is an electronic governmental service with systems specially designed to users related to the national innovation chain. • As a Portal, this environment supports processes of location, contact and correspondence between firms and technical-scientific community. Systems and resources accessed via Web E-Governmental Architecture

13. Reference (in e-Government) http://lattes.cnpq.br CNPq - National Council of Scientific and Technological Development Lattes Platform Since 1999 QUESTION 1 - How to capture the national knowledge in ST&I in a systematic and continuous way?

14. Lattes Platform Electronic government service composed by more than 140 elements among standards, information systems, databases, portals and knowledge systems in Science, Technology and Innovation. • More than 1 thousand Education Institutions • 62% of all undergraduate professors • More than 500 public organizations • More than 1 thousand firms • 615 thousands curricula • 5 thousands of updating per day • More than 300 new CVs per day • 19,5 thousands research groups • 335 R&D institutions • 14 thousands accesses per day (from 90 countries)

36. Planning and Monitoring • QualisInteraction SystemIt allows to follow the nature of the cooperation according to several aspects Administrative Environment • The communication among experts and firms from Northeast has begun in 27/06/2005. In these 32 days there have been 21 proposals sent by experts to firms and 137 from firms to experts. • The contacted firms have answered 12% of the proposals while the experts returned 28% of the proposals received from firms. • The contacted firms have answered in average of 5,9 days after being contacted. The experts tool 3,2 days in average to answer the firms. • From the 158 proposals sent by firms and experts, 88 did not result in any interaction, 6 resulted in interactions of 2 messages, 3 up to 3 messages and 1 had more than 3 messages interchanged. • From the experts who sent proposals, 14,3% are doctors, 86% masters in areas from Engineering.

37. Perspectives for 2006 4. How far the current technologies and methodologies can lead a cooperation project such “Portal Inovação”?

38. Perspectives for 2006 • Knowledge Systems • Ontology in innovation • Knowledge extraction • Social Networking • Supporting the Interaction • Communities of practice • Portal Content Management • Interoperability with other information services • International Cooperation
