Collaborative and open innovation : Future challenges for national innovation policies in the emerging European Research Area Ghent University
Henry Chesbroughs (2003) concept of open innovation provides a promising and important tool for synthesizing research on innovation collaboration (Lundvall 1991, Naas and Orstavik 1998, Piore and Sabel 1984), user-driven innovation (von Hippel 1988, Lundvall 1986) and the dynamics of IPRs (Chesbrough & Di Minin, 3007) into a bottom-up, micro based perspective on new patterns of industrial organization. Adding the aspect of globalization ...
The European public sphere in top-down perspective: the area of tension between the intentions and the reality of the communication policy of the EU analysed in three cases: the European president, the climate debate and the new Commission Ghent University

This research verifies two competing hyptheses and examines if the intentions of the EU on communication policy and EPS have not been realised due to "not being able to" or "not wanting to".

One of the guiding instruments that is at the public authorities’ disposal to achieve this, is the supervision of the social care institutions and facilities.
The ...
