Hélice Issue 1

Devrim Goktepe-Hulten, Editor in Chief, Hélice

The Triple Helix Association (THA) are proud to announce the launch of the inaugural issue of the Hélice Newsletter. It will be published quarterly (January, April, July, and October), and distributed to members of the Triple Helix Association via email.

Hélice is being launched at the request of scholars and practitioners, as well as policy-makers who wanted to be informed about news, updates, announcements, and ongoing research in the area of the Triple Helix.

Our mission is to enable those who are interested in innovation, economics, development and updates about the Triple Helix Association and members’ research activities. Hélice will provide
readers with a forum to spread and publicize their projects as well as research results broadly and fast. If you have items to contribute to forth coming issues of the TH-Newsletter, we will be pleased to publicize them.

Sheila Forbes, Managing Editor, Hélice

We envision to increase the diversity of publication by including views and activities of not only academic scholars but also practitioners and policy-makers. We also aim to reach to TH Association
members regularly, and inform non-members about the Association’s activities and Triple Helix Research.

We greatly appreciate this opportunity to serve as the Editors of Hélice, and value your time and interest in receiving news from us, as well as your wish in publicizing your views via this publication.

We are thus committed to the best of our abilities to maintain an interesting, up-to-date, as well as high quality information that the Triple Helix scholars have achieved so far.

This inaugural issue of Hélice is dedicated to the Triple Helix IX International Conference held on 11-14 July 2011, at Stanford University, California, USA. This will provide those who could not attend the conference with an overview of the proceedings. It will also enable those who attended to refresh notes and reflections about the conference. In this issue you will find contributions from the organizers as well as participants.

For further information and publication possibilities, please contact Devrim Goktepe-Hulten at devrimgoktepe-hulten@fpi.lu.se, or Sheila Forbes at s.forbes@eee.strath.ac.uk.

We are looking forward to hearing from you all in 2012!

Triple Helix XI International Conference

The Triple Helix in a context of global change: continuing, mutating or unravelling? London, Sunday 7 – Wednesday 10 July 2013

Never has the Triple Helix mission been more timely. Globally the economy faces significant challenges – unemployment, low or no growth, spiralling healthcare needs, rapidly emerging digital business models, unsustainable changes to the environment. The need for universities and businesses to work together and take action alongside governments is critical.

Call for papers is now open!

The 2013 Triple Helix Conference will integrate highly topical contributions from world class academics and researchers with business and policy forums to address the key question:

How can the Triple Helix approach build ‘the enterprising state’ in which universities, businesses and governments co- innovate to solve the global economic challenges? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXiq4Z-xa34 In this context timely themes for the conference include:

How can the global challenges to the digital sphere, healthcare, the natural environment and other areas facing disruptive forces be turned into growth opportunities?
How can the Triple Helix create a better mode of coordination to enhance productivity, output and innovation, and what are the challenges to universities, businesses and government?
How can the Triple Helix build innovative markets, places and networks, and what are the challenges to open innovation, demand and business models?
How can the Triple Helix build more innovation-friendly financial institutions, and what are the challenges to the business of banking in driving innovation and entrepreneurship, especially in SMEs?
How can the Triple Helix enhance universities as interactive partners in our innovation systems, and what are the challenges to the absorptive capacity of academic knowledge within firms and by other users?
How can the Triple Helix enhance skills for innovation, and what are the challenges to management and leadership skills for high growth firms?
How can public action drive innovation in the private sector, and what are the challenges to public procurement, as well as intellectual property management and IPR policies?

There will be social and inspiring events, including a Thames River cruise and a visit to London’s Tech City. Triple Helix 2013 Conference Office: Big Innovation Centre, 21 Palmer Street, London SW1H 0AD, UK Email: TH2013@theworkfoundation.com
