Searching Unprecedented Cooperations on Climate and Energy to ensure Sustainability (SUCCESS)

Abstract:

Within the knowledge triangle of education, research and innovation the pilot project SUCCESS is intended to establish efficient and effective structures of collaboration in large distributed consortia in Europe featuring new governance schemes thereby maximising the efficient use of available resources and an increase in turning R&D results into commercial opportunities. The field of sustainable energy and climate change will be the underlying subject.Based on a benchmarking of past and ongoing collaborations new and improved models of governance structures for integrated partnerships will be derived with the final goal of strengthening the links between education, research and innovation. -sybsequently some of the critical components and models will be implemented and tested using up to three case studies. The succes of the changes will be assessed using the degree of integration of the collaboration under consideration. Internal and external dissemination of the results will be carried out using the latest developments of information and communication technology.The partners invovled are a comprehensive group of institutions in the knowledge triangle in the field of sustainable energy and climate change as well as establishments dealing with knowledge transfer, business administration, governance structures and innovation management.
