This book was released on 2021-08-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro presenta los resultados que surgen de la relación universidad-empresa-Estado, la cual se constituye, en la actualidad, en una de las principales estrategias para consolidar los procesos de desarrollo económico y competitividad regional y social del país. Las estrategias están basadas, fundamentalmente, en la necesidad de que la universidad realice acciones conjuntas con la empresa y el sector gobierno, que transciendan los ámbitos formativos, de innovación y tecnologías, y generen espacios de confluencia, donde participen los sectores sociales. En este escenario, la sociedad es la receptora de las dinámicas de la interacción de los actores, expresadas en el surgimiento de nuevas oportunidades para la comunidad. El documento parte de la revisión histórica de los orígenes de la universidad en la Europa del medioevo, a n de lograr un breve reconocimiento de la transformación de sus roles para el desempeño de una tercera misión, conformada por la investigación y la proyección social. Posteriormente se exponen los modelos de innovación, que explican la articulación de los actores del sistema, quienes aportan al desarrollo económico y social de una región, para llegar al contexto nacional y, de esta forma, abordar los aspectos generales de la Política Pública de Competitividad, en el eje de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación. En las secciones siguientes, se describe la participación de la Universidad del Valle, una institución de educación superior pública que aporta a la relación Universidad-Empresa-Estado. En consecuencia, se da cuenta de las experiencias exitosas, los limitantes, avances y retos de los diferentes actores del sistema, con el n de buscar cooperación que conlleve la competitividad de la región del Valle del Cauca. Los resultados obtenidos se constituyen en un insumo interesante para la implementación regional de la nueva Política Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación 2021-2030, cuyo carácter prospectivo y estratégico influirá en la conversión de Colombia en uno de los tres países líderes de Amé- rica Latina respecto a la generación de conocimiento científico y tecnológico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With technological capability increasingly becoming the touchstone of competitiveness in an open and integrated world environment, the role of universities in economic growth is taking on a greater salience. Not only do they impart education but also they are coming to be viewed as sources of industrially valuable technical skills, innovations and entrepreneurship. Realizing this potential of universities so as to spur growth is now a priority in developed and developing countries, which calls for coordinated policy actions. The distinguished contributors to this volume examine the wealth of international experience on the efforts underway to multiply linkages between universities and businesses. They offer valuable and succinct guidance on some of the most effective policy measures being deployed by national and regional governments, by firms and by universities themselves to enhance the contribution which tertiary institutions can make to economic change.

Download or read book Innovation Shortfalls written by William Francis Maloney and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a common perception that low productivity or low growth is due to what can be called an "innovation shortfall," usually identified as a low rate of investment in research and development (R&D) when compared with some high innovation countries. The usual reaction to this perceived problem is to call for increases in R&D investment rates, usually specifying a target that can be as high as 3 percent of GDP. The problem with this analysis is that it fails to see that a low R&D investment rate may be appropriate given the economy's pattern of specialization, or may be just one manifestation of more general problems that impede accumulation of all kinds of capital. How can we know when a country suffers from an innovation shortfall above and beyond the ones that should be expected given the country's specialization and accumulation patterns? This is the question the authors tackle in this paper. First, they show a simple way to estimate the R&D gap that can be explained by a country's specialization pattern, illustrating it for the case of Chile. For this country they find that although its specialization in natural-resource-intensive sectors explains part of its R&D gap, a significant shortfall remains. Second, the authors show how a calibrated model can be used to determine the R&D gap that should be expected given a country's investment in physical and human capital. If the actual R&D gap is above this expected gap, then one can say that the country suffers from a true innovation shortfall.

Download or read book Medell n environment urbanism society written by Michel Hermelin Arbaux and published by Universidad EAFIT. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times what has become known as "the case of Medellín " has generated a growing interest in the international community. These urban transformation that Medellín has experimented have become a focus of attention and reference for experts in many fields, around the world. The book ́Medellin: Environment, Urbanism and Society ́, that now published the Center for Urban and Environmental Studies, Urbam, of EAFIT University is a testimony of the value given by our culture to the accomplishments of the city, to the idea of the public sphere and the growing relationship between the technical sphere and the political sphere, understood in the broad sense as a form of disciplinary knowledge and construction of civil society. This book brings together a knowledge of the city from multiple perspectives; knowledge that is, without any doubt, impressive for its extension and profoundity, as well as for its capacity to combine objective data with conceptual reflections about the scope and impact of the different perspectives concerning the theme of urban transformation and the different actors that have participated in such processes. The book weaves a broad net over the city, its history and development, adopting a multidisciplinary vision. I think that this will be the first step in creating a speech that might finally liberate itself from the strict disciplinary boundaries, building a trans-disciplinary perspective that can amplify the urban dimension of the city. This is the beginning of a profound and complex reflection that is, at the same time, a project of knowledge and an instrument of action and participation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1976 volume originated in the mood of disillusion and despair which followed the Third United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in Santiago in 1972. The prospects for cooperation between rich and poor nations seemed poor and new policies and instruments needed to considered if the interests of the rich and poor nations were not to become even more unbalanced in favour of the rich. The contributors to this volume consider what unexploited possibilities might be open to the less developed countries, both jointly and individually, in international affairs, which would generate a more equitable outcome. The issues addressed in these papers were, at the time of publication, of immediate relevance following the success of oil producing countries in revising prices, worldwide inflation, famine in the poorest countries, recession in industrial countries. Simultaneously, the less developed countries were declaring the need for a new international economic order, which this volume discusses.

Download or read book Environmental Governance in Latin America written by Fabio De Castro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC-BY license. The multiple purposes of nature – livelihood for communities, revenues for states, commodities for companies, and biodiversity for conservationists – have turned environmental governance in Latin America into a highly contested arena. In such a resource-rich region, unequal power relations, conflicting priorities, and trade-offs among multiple goals have led to a myriad of contrasting initiatives that are reshaping social relations and rural territories. This edited collection addresses these tensions by unpacking environmental governance as a complex process of formulating and contesting values, procedures and practices shaping the access, control and use of natural resources. Contributors from various fields address the challenges, limitations, and possibilities for a more sustainable, equal, and fair development. In this book, environmental governance is seen as an overarching concept defining the dynamic and multi-layered repertoire of society-nature interactions, where images of nature and discourses on the use of natural resources are mediated by contextual processes at multiple scales.

Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
