SATHA PUBLISHED ANNUAL DIRECTORY OF PAKISTANI ENTREPRENEURIAL SCIENTISTS

SATHA is looking for international representatives from countries and regions to join in the project of Entrepreneurial Scientists serving science and society, and to contribute cases to be published in the annual directory.

The entrepreneurial scientists of Pakistan consists of an annual web directory of ten entrepreneurial scientists, who contributed to society and industry. The authors of this annual directory conducted detailed interviews with the scientists and their peers, associates, beneficiaries, and the people who worked or lived with these scientists. Most of the scientists have been under the observation of our study for the past 2-3 years.

The annual directory is available at this link https://admin.umt.edu.pk/Media/Site/THA/FileManager/2018/Annual%20Directory%202018.pdf.

Those interested may email *email address protected*, and guidelines to prepare a case are available at: www.irp.edu.pk/intr-entrepreneurial-scientists/.

Furthermore, SATHA is working on a new project of Entrepreneurial Leaders of Pakistan. This project consists of case studies, interviews, and video with heroes of the society. The leaders will be selected from industry, academia, and the corporate sector from all over Pakistan, for inspiring the future generations.

TRIPLE/QUADRUPLE HELIX COLLABORATION FOR ADDRESSING SOCIETAL CHALLENGES

On the 15 June 2018, the THA Chapter of Greece participated in a panel on quadruple helix collaboration for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in Lodz, Poland. The panel was organized under the framework of the Training for Energy Efficient Operations (TrainERGY) project (European Union funded) which aims at bridging the quadruple helix stakeholders across Europe in order to jointly develop training materials on making industry more sustainable.

Similarly, on 21 June 2018, THA Greece the OECD Global Forum on Responsible Business Conduct in Paris, France, which featured multi-stakeholder panels of sustainability and digitalization. In both events, the role of the triple/quadruple helix was acclaimed as the key strategy towards solving current societal challenges.

Furthermore, THA Greece is transferring the triple helix know-how into the UK for the EU-Funded project – PROSFET (H2020/Marie Curie RISE). PROSFET aims at proposing a multi-stakeholder framework (quadruple helix) for understanding the possibility of introducing freight-tram concepts in Sheffield (UK), in order to reduce traffic congestion and to mitigate urban pollution. The quadruple helix partnership models and multi-stakeholder associations are deemed to be the starting point/enabler of such a long-term venture.
