CALL FOR PAPERS! The impact of university-industry engagement and the rise of competency transfer partnerships Call for papers for a special issue of the Journal of Technology Transfer, guest edited with David Sarpong, Dirk Meissner and Gustavo Salati Moraes. This special issue aims to extend our understanding of the opportunities, potentialities, and limits of the new turn to university-industry engagement and impact, how they are managed and their implications for on regions, nations, and society as a whole Potential topics and questions  1. How do universities and their faculties make meaning of engagement and impact?  2. Exploring university-industry engagement and competency transfer partnerships as an organizing strategy, and how it connects across the sub-disciplines, academic tribes, and territories. 3. How do universities-industry engagement and impact initiatives differ from the traditional research and technological development policy programmes that have struggled to provide widespread life-altering results? 4. Should university-industry engagement and impact activities be approached as an evolutionary process or a crucible event for tackling societal challenges? 5. How can the university inspire competency centers to mobilize collective action toward tackling societal challenges and respond to the call for engagement and impact? 6. How can we effectively evaluate the transaction cost associated with new University-industry engagement and competency transfer partnerships? 7. What organizing practices facilitate (or impede) new University-industry engagement and impact? Deadline for full paper submission: 30 October 2024 For more information: https://lnkd.in/dVeyEdq3

Academic Conference Alerts https://lnkd.in/d4pdSjsb Conference Alerts is one of the best portal to find all forthcoming national and international conferences, seminars, workshops, video conferences, webinar and live engineering conferences worldwide. The main aim of the Conference Alerts is the conferring of innovative multidisciplinary to focus on national and international serious issues. A large range of topics is presented while addressing the new opportunities for the policy interface promoting the discussion between the scientific and policy-making communities. Conference Alerts is the most excellent platform to update and promotes conferences, workshops, seminars, symposiums and various events. It is an India based organization but its international team is distributed in different countries of the whole World. Conference Alerts organized conferences on a different subject or to bring together people who have a common interest. We are always trying to be the best universal platforms for scientists, researchers, professors, engineers, students, managers and other professionals to discuss their innovative ideas and novel research. Conference Alerts is to provide the latest advancement of knowledge in theory and practice in all areas of research among scholars, researchers, academicians, Professors and scientists from all around the world those are interested in recent issues in collaboration with international and national research communities. Our team is expertise in promotion of conferences and have good knowledge about the subjects because all are managers, scientists, researchers and academicians. We are specialized in all types of Research Conferences in the field of higher education. We will Co-organize important conferences according to required topics with other universities and organizations all over the world. #academicresearchfunding #academicresearch #research #academia #conferences

Big changes earlier this year that could impact companies partnering with universities: From the Institute of Education Sciences, research findings and data resulting from federally-funded research will need to be made immediately available to the public (rather than after 12-months under previous policies). This could have a major impact on sharing proprietary information/research in spaces like healthcare, aerospace, energy, agriculture, and food sciences. https://lnkd.in/gW6qY-kg

Excited to share my research journey of consistent growth in the world of research I wanted to share a fantastic research platform that's been instrumental in tracking and evaluating this growth. The AD Scientific Index is a powerful tool that analyses academic studies from 218 countries and 22,385 universities/institutions, covering an impressive network of 1,352,120 scientists. The platform utilizes essential metrics like the H-index, i10 index, and citation count to provide a comprehensive evaluation of research productivity and efficiency, both on individual and institutional levels. It's fascinating to explore the results and insights generated by AD Scientific Index, which offer a deep dive into various facets of research impact.  What I find particularly insightful is that the platform offers multiple ranking criteria, allowing us to assess not only the "total H-index" but also factors like "last 6 years H-index", "total i10 index", "last 6 years i10 index", "total citations", and “last 6 years citations”. This multifaceted approach truly captures the nuances of research influence over time. if you're curious about how your research presence measures up, or if you're part of an institution aiming to gauge its scholarly impact, I highly recommend checking out the AD Scientific Index. It's a valuable resource that not only showcases your growth but also provides insights to strategize for the future.

🎓 Excited to Share My Master's Thesis! 🎓 The outlook for Nano and Micro analysis could be significantly enhanced with a clearer understanding of its practical applications in addressing societal, economic, and environmental challenges (Sustainability). If you're interested in Sustainable Development and/or Nano and Micro analysis, I would love to connect and discuss my work further. You can read and cite my full thesis here 👇 :

I have successfully completed my dissertation on "A Scientometric Review for Green Manufacturing Systems for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises." This research aimed to address the lack of understanding about the challenges and opportunities faced by SMEs in adopting green manufacturing systems. In this study, I conducted a thorough literature review to identify the current state, barriers, and potential opportunities for SMEs to transition towards environmentally friendly manufacturing processes. I explored how governmental entities and consumers exert pressure on driving green innovation in industrial processes. Using CiteSpace software, I analysed a vast array of sources to reveal correlations between the data and validate my research criteria. Through the analysis of influential authors, citations, cluster categorization, and identification of emerging countries and institutions, it was revealed that India possesses the highest centrality, followed by some European nations. This has prompted a dedicated examination of governmental policies within my literature review on some of those areas. The results highlighted that SMEs face unique challenges depending on their geographical location, with those in underdeveloped countries facing additional barriers due to limited financial resources. My findings suggest that successful implementation of cost-effective management practices can lay the foundation for long-term profitability through investment in advanced technologies. However, there is a pressing need for government initiatives to support SMEs in underdeveloped countries by disseminating knowledge and training employees. Ultimately, I hope that this study can serve as a fuel for driving positive change in the manufacturing industry towards a more sustainable future.

My MOOC on Multidisciplinary Research Methods for Engineers is starting its fourth run from May 7! This course is an excellent tool in getting your research journey started. Join Marcus Specht and myself and write your research plan as you go through the course. I highly recommend this course if you are in the early phase of your PhD!

🔍 Crafting the Blueprint: The Importance of Research Design in Scientific Inquiry 🔍 In the realm of scientific research, the design of experiments is akin to laying the foundation of a skyscraper—robust, meticulously planned, and essential for success.
