Innovation Sciences

Business Model:•Customer should not own battery > battery exchange•Re-charging infrastructure

Social Problem:•Failure of Energy Infrastructure?

Electrical cars

Innovation Sciences

Smart e-Metering:

• Convergence energy and ICT solutions

But: •Why is not taking off?•Best form of organization? •Who owns the meter and the data?

Why?

Innovation Sciences

Innovation Sciences is about change

Scientific study of innovation:

• How can we understand structural technological

change affecting all sectors of the society?

• How can we effect such structural change?

Practical application of scientific knowledge:

• How can we stimulate innovation beneficial to

society?

• Can we govern innovation?

Society needs ‘IS’ engineers

‘IS’ engineers are able to build bridges between

Technology and Society

We need those bridges!

Evaluation by external committee

Every couple of years the educational program is evaluated by an

external committee (last time in 2010).

Overall judgment: GOOD

NVAO awarded Innovation Sciences the special quality mark

‘internationalization’ , assessing the internationalization as ‘good’.

“The strength of the Master program lays in the compulsory

international semester, the international composition of the staff

and the relatively high number of foreign students.”

Companies innovate by cooperation with others, creating networks of alliances

(example:

Senseo = DE + Philips)

What kind of network should a company have to be successful?

(and how do you deal as a student with pictures as messy as this one?)

Example course topic: Governing Innovations

Transition to a sustainable energy system: Big challenges: climate change, geopolitics, security of supply,

fluctuating prices

Naive perception of policy: government will/has to take care of

everything

Government is part of the problem!

Policy is ´muddling through´

Interests, lobbying, interdepartmental dynamics

Different policy paradigms: Transition Management
