“…To name just a few: the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Asian Development Bank, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the G20 and the World Economic Forum (WEF). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) is an interesting case, not only because it has laid the scientific foundations for addressing one of the major societal challenges of our times, but also because it tells lessons about how STI policies and foreign policies need to come together over a longer period of time to create conditions for solving such complex challenges [19]. The governance of these organisations may be very diverse, but they all function on a regular basis as a platform to inform, to negotiate, to monitor, to fund, etc.…”

Exploring the future of innovation diplomacy

Science diplomacy links the two policy domains of foreign affairs and science policy. Competitive thinking and the ways in which this affects global challenges are now putting the globalisation trends in science, technology and innovation under pressure. Rising populism adds to the growth of de-globalisation politics. In an increasingly knowledge driven world this leads to changes in the roles of diplomats. Their focus has already shifted from relatively neutral scientific collaborations to the technology and innovation interests of their home-countries. What are likely future developments of the field of science, technology and innovation diplomacy? The paper explores the future roles and development of innovation diplomacy as the outcome of interactions between the evolving characteristics of science, technology and innovation on the one hand and of international relations and foreign policies on the other. It is explorative, because there is no research tradition on which it can build and requires bringing together insights from several disciplines in new combinations. Trends in the fields of science, technology and innovation and in the field of international relations (including changes in the mechanisms and institutions for global governance) will be discussed. Together these drivers provide a framework through which potential futures of innovation diplomacy can be explored.

“…Standards provide a source of information and serve as a channel for the transfer of technology for the propagation and distribution of knowledge [25]. Standardization is identified in Horizon 2020 as one of the innovation-support measures since it bridges the gap between research and the market and facilitates the fast and easy transfer of research results to the European and international market [26].…”

Standardization Framework for Sustainability from Circular Economy 4.0

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The circular economy (CE) is widely known as a way to implement and achieve sustainability, mainly due to its contribution towards the separation of biological and technical nutrients under cyclic industrial metabolism. The incorporation of the principles of the CE in the links of the value chain of the various sectors of the economy strives to ensure circularity, safety, and efficiency. The framework proposed is aligned with the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development regarding the orientation towards the mitigation and regeneration of the metabolic rift by considering a double perspective. Firstly, it strives to conceptualize the CE as a paradigm of sustainability. Its principles are established, and its techniques and tools are organized into two frameworks oriented towards causes (cradle to cradle) and effects (life cycle assessment), and these are structured under the three pillars of sustainability, for their projection within the proposed framework. Secondly, a framework is established to facilitate the implementation of the CE with the use of standards, which constitute the requirements, tools, and indicators to control each life cycle phase, and of key enabling technologies (KETs) that add circular value 4.0 to the socio-ecological transition.

“…One of the main priorities in the Europe 2020 strategy is the smart growth (Veugelers et al, 2015), i.e., economic growth based on innovation and knowledge. Knowledge is recognized as a valuable resource for firms" growth and innovation (Lev, 2004).…”

“…The beginning of the financial crisis in the end of 2007 and the difficult to access credit by firms may have worsen firms" financial performance due to the prediction of lower demand, which enforced firms to look to new sources to gain competitive advantages. Therefore, in order to promote innovation, European Union (EU) made efforts to fund innovation through projects such as Horizon 2020 strategy (Veugelers et al, 2015).…”

The current study seeks to analyse the impact of the intellectual capital (IC) on the financial performance measured by Return on Assets in the European context for the period 2004-2015. This study uses data of non-financial listed firms of 8 European countries for the period between 2004 and 2015. Considering that financial crisis had different impact on European countries, we divided the eight countries in two groups: (1) group 1 -Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy; and (2) group 2 -Germany, France, Finland and United Kingdom (UK). The estimation method used is the GMM system (1998) estimator, as a dynamic panel estimator, which allows to do longitudinal studies and to analyse the effect of lagged explanatory variables on firms" financial performance. The results indicate that IC efficiency in the current period has a positive impact on financial performance. The three components of VAIC TM Model -capital employed efficiency, human capital efficiency and structural capital efficiency in the current period have a positive impact on financial performance, with the exception for structural capital efficiency which for the first group of countries has a negative impact on financial performance. Finally, results suggest that the financial crisis negatively affects financial performance on both groups of countries. The current study contributes to the current literature, analysing the impact of IC on firms" financial performance in two
