FW: Triple Helix VIII - Call for papers

Thu Jul 23 06:54:02 EDT 2009

Innovation is understood as a resultant of a complex and dynamic process related to interactions between in University, Industry and Government, in a spiral of endless transitions. The Triple Helix approach, developed by Henry Etzkowitz and Loet Leydesdorff, is based on the perspective of University as a leader of the relationship with Industry and Government, to generate new knowledge, innovation and economic development. 

After Amsterdam, New York, Rio de Janeiro, Copenhagen/Lund, Turin, Singapore and Glasgow the Triple Helix movement arrives to its 8th global meeting in Madrid, Spain, in 2010. The Triple Helix VIII – International Conference on University, Industry and Government Linkages will be held on 20-22 October 2010. It will be organized by the International Institute of Triple Helix - IITH and hosted by La Salle Innovation Park of Services for People. Its aim to connect academics, business leaders, government staff and other specialists involved in the different aspects of innovation management.

The conference program will include different kinds of interactions:

•      Keynote address plenary sessions with Triple Helix specialists 

•      Discussion panels with members of academy, industry and government

•      Parallel sessions with paper presentations 

•      Lunch speakers

•      Special sessions, dedicated to young researchers and specific themes

•      Thematic workshops

•      Posters and Exhibit Stand spaces 

•      Social program

Our aim is to create the best environment to enable a fruitful discussion between academics and practitioners in the University, Industry and Government spheres. The VIII Triple Helix also will provide a unique experience of Spanish culture and heritage.
