The Leiden Manifesto for research metrics
Research evaluation has become routine and often relies on metrics. But it is increasingly driven by data and not by expert judgement. The manifesto, written by five experts, one of them being Ismael Rafols from INGENIO [CSIC-UPV], have proposed ten principles for the measurement of research performance. It has been published as a comment in Nature. Available in spanish here.

Projects

Measuring the contribution of higher education to innovation capacity in the EU. (2014 - 2016)

The goal of the EUniVation project is to develop a stronger evidence of the contribution of higher education systems to innovation capacity. The evidence should allow for the identification of key factors that influence this contribution and of potential new indicators / measures that go beyond traditional metrics that currently limit understanding of the role of HEIs in driving innovation in the wider economy.

Monitoring the evolution and benefits of Responsable Research and Innovation (2014 - 2018)

MoRRi will provide scientific evidence, data, analysis and policy intelligence to support directly Directorate General for Research and Innovation (DGRTD) research funding activities and policy-making activities in relaion with Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI).

Toma Social UPV (2015)

This is a participatory research-action which uses the video as a common thread and tries to explore processes of root social innovation done in Valencia. This action will take place from April to June 2015. More info (in spanish)

People

Ana García Granero

Ana completed her PhD thesis in June 2013 at INGENIO and is currently a post-doctoral researcher at Grenoble Ecole de Management since September 2014.

INGENIO felt like and still feels like home to me. I landed at the institute as a naïve student, trained as an economist, with a master’s degree in strategy and business administration and with a relatively short experience in the private sector. Naivety is common when one starts a PhD since the reality never matches the initial expectations, and progressing through the thesis towards understanding what science is about (eureka!) is hard.
INGENIO´s research staff were really helpful in guiding me through this journey. I managed to shout out loud “eureka!” after completing a thesis based on the analysis of organizations, corporate innovation and the role of openness and external agents in this process. INGENIO provided me with multiple opportunities to build a research portfolio in line with contemporary academic market needs. For example, I had the chance to participate in a public research project, which sought to answer questions related to the role of openness, R&D, strategy and management practices and innovation in Spanish manufacturing companies. INGENIO also encourages junior researchers to travel abroad in order to learn from different work environments and broaden professional networks. This freedom to pursue research visits allowed me to visit Rotterdam School of Management and Copenhagen Business School, where I engaged in fruitful collaborations with world’s leading scholars, which significantly helped me in becoming competitive in the international arena.
Not by chance I had the opportunity of a post-doctoral position at Grenoble Business School, where I am currently developing my scholarly interests on open innovation, university-industry collaborations, management practices and composition of Top Management Teams.

Cristian Matti

Cristian completed his PhD thesis at INGENIO in March 2015 and is currently employed at the Climate-KIC European Project since April 2015.

I arrived at INGENIO from the UK with no scholarship and a preliminary PhD proposal on a topic, environmental innovation, that was relatively novel to the institute at the time. Before the end of the first year as a Ph.D. student I had the opportunity of becoming involved in a research project funded by the Framework Program of the European Commission. My participation in the project made a big difference for my professional life: therein I gained experience in collecting and analyzing data, designing more research proposals. In this process I also learned from failure, joined several international projects and completed my PhD. A week after my Viva, I got my current job in Brussels for the main EU initiative on Climate Change.
This professional trajectory reflects a lot also the evolution of INGENIO and of its research staff, from whom I learned that contradictions are just another way to see opportunities. The mix of different people regarding knowledge, background and capacities combined with dynamics of a relatively young organization provides a favourable as well as challenging context for those who are prepared to experiment with ideas and explore different paths towards developing new skills.
