This report sets out to describe indicators on environmental technological innovation and their usefulness for environment-related STI policy and innovation study. Environmental technological innovations consist of new or modified processes, techniques, systems and products that help to reduce environmental damage. This is a new area for indicator research. In this report we will examine how en...

Abstract Engaging non-experts in matters of science and technology has been increasingly stressed both rhetoric action during the past decades. Under call for moving participation upstream, agenda setting processes have identified as viable entry point laypeople’s experiential value-based knowledge into science, innovation governance (STI). Harnessing visioning target promises to elicit such kn...

Evidence-based STI (science, technology, and innovation) policy making requires accurate indicators of innovation in order to promote economic growth. However, traditional from patents questionnaire-based surveys often lack coverage, granularity as well timeliness may involve high data collection costs, especially when conducted at a large scale. Consequently, they struggle provide makers scien...

During the past decade, the World Economic Forum has published its annual reports in which the Global Competitiveness Index is included. This paper aims to investigate the key factors for achieving an innovation-driven economy. In this paper, we used partial canonical correlation analysis (PCCA) to examine the relationships between key pillars in “efficiency enhancers” and “business sophisticat...

This article takes up the discussion of different models innovation to understand science, technology and policy in Mexico. The main objective this research is identify effects Mexico strategic sectors State Mexico, through public instruments focused on encouraging technological companies Another study add development theoretical framework that helps design better promote diverse sectors. instr...

This study focuses on the collaboration patterns that small firms hold with other agents within liberal market economies and identifies collaborative drivers in this context deliver a superior impact innovation output measured by product process innovations. To explore research question, combines literature systems growing business modes studies whether businesses are driven science technology ...

At sub-40 nm CMOS technology nodes, the implementation of shallow trench isolation (STI) becomes more challenging due to shrinking geometries and stricter device leakage requirements. As device geometries are shrinking, STI liner is also becoming thinner and plays an important role for the minimal consumption of device active area while effectively rounding the STI corner and minimizing stress-...

the current study aims to examine and identify competency dimensions, factors and indices for managers of science and technology parks of iranian public university in order to present of a conceptual model. the targeted population consisted of two parts including experts in the field and managers and experts in science and technology parks. for this purpose, exploratory method was used and data...

A comparison of the current structures and dynamics of UK and German biotechnology-based industries reveals a striking convergence of industrial organisations and innovation directions in both countries. This counteracts propositions from theoretical frameworks such as the varieties-of-capitalism hypothesis and the national innovation systems approach which suggest substantial differences betwe...
