The challenges in research...

Diversification of externalfunding
• There is trend towards increasing diversification of external funding sour-ces (and/or subsidies), and in particular the shift towards more competi-tive and performance related project funding.
• The state is no longer the only financial source.

Responding to change
• The pathway to compe-titiveness in business lies in reducing the time to respond to change.
• Universities:– Who are the
customers?– Which are the
objectives?– What are the
strategies?

EUA - European University Association
• There is a trend towards increasing diversification of external funding sources.
• Universities, as key players in research and higher education in a world of growing competition and often decreasing public funding are undergoing fundamental changes. The state is no longer the only financial source.
• Integrate innovation into mainstream university activities where transfer offices and university-industry partnerships are becoming increasingly commonplace.

Competition in the Digital Economy
• Fierce competition in the digital economy and increasing volume of available data are forcing organizations to find efficient ways of obtaining valuable information and knowledge to improve the efficiency of their business processes.

Zentrum für Wissenschafts-technologie e.V. Speyer
• Objectives:– Optimize science and research
management, in particular the science – adequate framework of innovative research.
– Establish a national platform for science and research management in Speyer with networks of national and international experts.
– Serve as an exchange and contact partner for the transfer of research results

One stop shop to European science
Provide the single gate-way „one stop shop“ to European science, the complexity of the Euro-pean Science and Techno-logy landscape, is not always easy to under-stand for third countries when it comes to seeking cooperation with Europe
(Source: NWO-ESF, November 4-5, 2004)

Promote transfer of knowledge
• Encourage the reform of public resesarch centres and universities to promote the transfer of knowledge
• Share information on new ways of raising funds for R&D purposes

Utilisation of knowledge
• Leiden university is striving for more and better
utilisation of its knowledge.
• Scientists and entrepreneurs should develop and
exchange knowledge.
• The aim is identifying scientific and commercial
product marketing combination, that can
stimulate business development and growth

Decrease of public budgets
• Decreasing public budgets and the relatively weak position of Leiden in the acquisition of competitive budgets from research councils as well as in acquiring were in 1995 the reason for developing and executing an innovation policy plan at Leiden university
• In 2005, Leiden university retained Dr. Bob Smailes from Endinburgh university as the director of research and innovation services

Impact of CERIF
• CERIF based services drives:
– Process and quality orientation
– Partner orientation
in research + innovation
14 © uniCRIS AGeuroCRIS Meeting Lisboa 2005
Process orientation
• CERIF enables information flow from research to innovation
• CERIF optimizes resource allocation along the Innovation Added Value Chain
• To streamline the process from research prototype to successful products requires CERIF and change management
15 © uniCRIS AGeuroCRIS Meeting Lisboa 2005
Partner orientation
• Know and understand the
needs of the partners to
define the busines case and
in consequence enable the
knowledge flow along the
Innovation Added Value
Chain
• Need to define interfaces
and SLA‘s (service level
agree-ments), where CERIF is
a key element

Learning curve
• The concept of the learning curve was introduced to the aircraft industry in 1936 when T. P. Wright published an article in the February 1936 Journal of the Aeronautical Science. Wright described a basic theory for obtaining cost estimates based on repetitive production of airplane assemblies. Since then, learning curves (also known as progress functions) have been applied to all types of work from simple tasks to complex jobs like manufacturing a Space Shuttle.

Cost models - TCO
• Abbreviation of Total Cost of Ownership, a very popular buzzword representing how much it actually costs to own a system. The TCO includes: – Original cost of the computer and software – Hardware and software upgrades – Maintenance – Technical support – Training
• Most estimates place the TCO at about 3 to 4 times the actual purchase cost of the system.
