Welcome to the Master Innovation Sciences
Outline of Presentation • What is Innovation Sciences? • Its core disciplines • Its core interests • Career opportunities • Study program • Master Thesis examples • Job examples
Innovation Sciences Electrical cars • Business Model: • Customer should not own battery > battery exchange • Re-charging infrastructure • Social Problem: • Failure of Energy • Infrastructure?
Innovation Sciences Smart e-Metering: • Convergence energy and ICT solutions • But: • Why is not taking off? • Best form of organization? • Who owns the meter and the data? (Source: J. Naus)
Innovation Sciences Fiber optics at home Cooperatives (eg. Heeze-Leende) > 200 initiatives in NL ~ 5 initiatives in NL Why?
Scientific study of innovation: How can we understand structural technological change affecting all sectors of the society? How can we effect such structural change? Practical application of scientific knowledge: How can we stimulate innovation beneficial to society? Can we govern innovation? Innovation Sciences is about change
Society needs ‘IS’ engineers • ‘IS’ engineers are able to build bridges between Technology and Society • We need those bridges!
Career opportunities • Current jobs of ‘IS’ graduates • External advisor/consultant (28%) • Manager, team leader (25%) • Internal advisor/consultant (15%) • Research, education (10%) • Policy advisor ( 5%) • 75% of the graduates feel that their current job is a seamless fit to their studies.
Evaluation by external committee • Every couple of years the educational program is evaluated by an external committee (last time in 2010). Overall judgment: GOOD • NVAO awarded Innovation Sciences the special quality mark ‘internationalization’ , assessing the internationalization as ‘good’. “The strength of the Master program lays in the compulsory international semester, the international composition of the staff and the relatively high number of foreign students.”
The MSc program combines inputs from technology and different social science disciplines Innovation Sciences Technology Assessment Sociology of innovation Psychology of innovation Economics of innovation History, Philosophy, Ethics, Law Technology
MSc program Innovation Sciences What is Innovation Sciences ? • Socio-economic perspective on technology and innovation • Focus on technological change and innovation • Particular technological areas: Energy, ICT and Health Technology • What kind of policy do we need? Why don’t we get this policy? • Multidisciplinary perspective

(and how do you deal as a student with pictures as messy as this one?)
Example course topic: Governing Innovations • Transition to a sustainable energy system: • Big challenges: climate change, geopolitics, security of supply, fluctuating prices • Naive perception of policy: government will/has to take care of everything • Government is part of the problem! • Policy is ´muddling through´ • Interests, lobbying, interdepartmental dynamics • Different policy paradigms: Transition Management
