Book excerpt: The science and technology (S & T) sector is constantly and rapidly changing, and with today's challenges is even more complex and diverse than before. The changing S & T paradigm has directly impacted the research and development institutes (RDIs) and in particular the nuclear RDIs. National science budgets are increasingly constrained resulting in direct cuts in subsidies, pressuring RDIs to seek alternative sources of funding. With the global trend towards more knowledge-based economies, the concurrent demand for innovation has increased in the S & T sector, and furthermore to the RDIs. Hence RDIs, and nuclear RDIs in particular, which fail to adapt to the changing S & T paradigm, risk 'lagging behind' in management, structure, planning, and funding, which all directly affect the sustainability of the institution. After the Second World War, RDIs in Central and Eastern Europe used to receive funding and guidelines from their governments. In the transition to the market economy, the mechanisms used to fund RDIs are changing, and the responsibility for defining the institutes' role and strategy is transferring to the institutes themselves. Consequently, the IAEA initiated a Technical Cooperation Project in 2004 to support RDIs working in nuclear power and non-power applications in Central and Eastern Europe. There were two major aims of this project. First, was to map the status of nuclear RDIs with current up-to-date data, because although there is a widespread feeling within the nuclear community that some nuclear RDIs are in financial distress, there are no current and verifiable statistical data on this point. Second, was to assist institute managers and senior scientists in nuclear RDIs, to improve their management practices and improve access to national and international funding opportunities. This report is focused on the first aim, to map the status with current statistical data, of 25 nuclear RDIs in 13 Central and Eastern European countries including Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and further looks into the impact of S&T policies on these nuclear RDIs.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NATO Science Programme, under the direction of the Science Com mittee, mounted in September 1986 a successful meeting which examined the structure and outputs of civil science in the Soviet Union. As a topical sectoral examination of the evolutionary state of the Soviet Union under those in separable and elusive twins, 'perestroyka' and 'glasnost', it was successful in providing the basis for assessments of the likely future role of Soviet scientists in the world scene. Such meetings are infrequent events in the Programme calendar; the Science Programme has concentrated for thirty years almost exclusively on supporting scientific mobility in the Alliance countries. This it does, essentially, through the funding under competitive conditions, of fellow ships, exchanges and meetings of researchers. Such activities are a response to unsolicited scientific demand from the Alliance R&D community which sees mobility as an essential part of scientific dissemination (rather lacking it would appear from the following accounts in the Eastern European countries). The Committee, however, does like to act upon its own behalf in supporting wider perceptions of the place of R&D in the world by examining, from time to time, topics of strong current interest. These have taken the form of the consideration of particularly pressing issues, as arose for example in the series of energy and material supply crises of the seventies.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship in Central and Eastern Europe written by Tõnis Mets and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of the transition to a market-oriented economy for countries from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) started some 25 years ago. A new technology base triggered the fast growth of new investments into intangible assets by global economic leaders at the beginning of the 1990s, providing the basis for a move towards a knowledge economy. During the past 25 years, entrepreneurs in CEE and the CIS have reshaped traditional industries and created new industries, combining innovative ideas with traditional competencies. Yet we still do not know very much about how and why companies led by entrepreneurs develop, how they expand globally and what the role of new knowledge and innovation is in the internationalization process. Understanding the pathways of entrepreneurial development, especially growth through internationalization, is important for the overall development of countries in transition and beyond. Entrepreneurship in Central and Eastern Europe: Development through Internationalization provides an overview of entrepreneurship in a range of important emerging markets. This book aims to fill the gap in the literature by providing up-to-date data and case-based evidence. With coverage of a range of national firms from countries including Belarus, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine, this book will be vital supplementary reading around international entrepreneurship and essential reading for those studying the business environment in this vital emerging market.
Download or read book Advanced Reactor Concepts ARC written by Ali Zamani Paydar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear engineers advancing the energy transition are understanding more about the next generation of nuclear plants; however, it is still difficult to access all the critical types, concepts, and applications in one location. Advanced Reactor Concepts (ARC): A New Nuclear Power Plant Perspective Producing Energy gives engineers and nuclear engineering researchers the comprehensive tools to get up to date on the latest technology supporting generation IV nuclear plant systems. After providing a brief history of this area, alternative technology is discussed such as electromagnetic pumps, heat pipes as control devices, Nuclear Air-Brayton Combined Cycles integration, and instrumentation helping nuclear plants to provide dispatchable electricity to the grid and heat to industry. Packed with examples of all the types, benefits, and challenges involved, Advanced Reactor Concepts (ARC) delivers the go-to reference that engineers need to advance safe nuclear energy as a low-carbon option. - Describes theory and concepts on generation IV technology such as advanced reactor concepts (ARC) and electromagnetic pumps, and compares different types and sizes. - Sets out the energy transition with critical carbon-free technology that can supplement intermittent power sources such as wind and solar. - Explains alternative heat storage technology, including Nuclear Air-Brayton Combined Cycles. - Introduces advanced main instrumentation systems for in-core probes.

Download or read book Development and Semi periphery written by Renato Boschi and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Development and Semi-periphery’ presents a collection of articles that focus on comparative analysis of development trajectories in the semi-peripheral countries of South America and Central Eastern Europe. As opposed to the transitology studies that were prevalent in the 1990s, and that treated the neoliberal context in these two regions separately, the articles in this book instead offer a new comparative analysis focusing on the consequences of neoliberal reforms and the new actors that deal with their results. The essays discuss the various forms of state that have unfolded in different peripheral countries, their role in the social engineering of economic models and social policies, and the impact of state capacities and ideas on institutional innovation. The volume also compares transformations in political culture, collective identities and contentious politics in both areas.
