El objetivo del seminario es presentar el trabajo que INGENIO viene desarrollando desde julio del 2021 junto con la Generalitat de Catalunya en el marco del proyecto “Ítaca: Innovación transformadora en agendas compartidas”. Las agendas compartidas son instrumentos metodológicos clave en la estrategia de investigación e innovación para la especialización inteligente de Cataluña (RIS3CAT).

La investigadora Martha Lucia García Naranjo, de la universidad de Manizales (Colombia) presentará la propuesta de Gobernanza multinivel e innovación social como una alternativa para direccionar los procesos misionales del Centro de Investigaciones en Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo de dicha universidad, a la luz de la política nacional de ciencia, tecnología e innovación y en la búsqueda de ser reconocido como un centro de excelencia por el Ministerio MINCIENCIAS de Colombia.
There is increasing attention to the role of government to steer and speed the direction of social and economic development in order to face the societal challenges of our time. There is the belief amongst the epistemic community working in science and technology policy research that change is required and that innovation can play a major role. The notion of transformative innovation encapsulates the idea that a radical change in practices and behaviour of all actors across society is needed. But who is in position to lead or influence such change?

In light of grand societal challenges there is an increasing awareness of the need for transformative innovation policies. So far, the literature on this topic has paid insufficient attention to the role of the regional policy level. Transformative innovation policy approaches have received critique for lacking sensitivity and attention to context-specific factors and for advocating rathe rather ‘place blind’ policies. Over the past few years, scholarly work has begun to give more attention to such policies on a regional scale.
Given the importance that current food-related challenges pose to our society, the potential of local food initiatives to address sustainability has gained increased academic attention. Nevertheless, research has increasingly demonstrated that local food initiatives might also have adverse effects and thus are limited in fulfilling their sustainability potential.
Regional institutional settings significantly influence the pace and scope of sustainability transitions. However, the complex institutional dynamics underpinning 'Regional Transition Paths to Sustainability' (RTPS) are not well understood. In this seminar we will elaborate how a focus on organizational change can help to make visible hidden institutional dynamics in RTPS. Starting from this, we will introduce the method of 'Transition Topology' and illustrate its application possibilities and potentials using different empirical examples.
A presentation of the European project RISIS to which INGENIO participates. RISIS (European Research Infrastructure for Science, technology and Innovation policy Studies) aims at building a data and services infrastructure supporting the development of a new generation of analyses and indicators about Science, Technology and Innovation (STI). It provides 14 datasets about STI, services for data enhancement and analysis (e.g. geocoding, network analysis), and a portal to access and connect these datasets and services.
Partiendo de las propuestas de las Teorías Feministas Organizacionales (TFO), entendemos las organizaciones como espacios no neutrales al género que reproducen desigualdades. Esta investigación se aproxima a las propuestas "micro" de la Economía Feminista, centrándose en los procesos de cambio organizacional pro equidad de género (COPEG).
Para que la transición energética que hay en marcha contribuya a fines como la justicia social, la profundización de la democracia y la sostenibilidad ambiental, ha de plantear una transformación de las relaciones de poder imperantes. Las lógicas mercantilistas y extractivistas del actual modelo energético y sus impactos sociales y ambientales nos afectan de manera desigual. La transición energética hacia un modelo 100% renovable no implica que este modelo sea justo, viable o sostenible.
