How to Respond to Grand Challenges?Mental Change from 3 C’s to 3 I’s
• Continuous change and increasing pace of change• Contradictory values and goals• Need to move from the world of ”either or” to ”both and”• Increasing complexity
In the past 3 C’s:– Command– Control– Correct
Based on: Dr. Pentti Sydänmaanlakka, Lecture in Aalto University Dipoli, 16 September 2008
Leadership is facing new challenges:
Leadership change:
Now 3 I’s:– Inspire yourself /
ourselves– Inspire others– Innovate
Future:– Radical
changes in working culture

EU 2020 Strategy – What Does It Mean?
EU 2020 mutually reinforcing priorities: • Smart growth• Sustainable growth• Inclusive growth
The role of universities in making this a reality:• Focus on grand challenges• The strong role of universities is crucial: Knowledge Triangle i.e. synergy
between research & education & innovation• Modernize the Triple Helix cooperation: University – Industry – Cities• Living labs & user-driven innovations: people & process development
Markku MarkkulaAalto UniversitySocietal Impact 7
Implementation through 7 Flagships:• Innovation Union• Digital Agenda• The Agenda for New Skills and Jobs• Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era• …
EU 2020 Three Mutually Reinforcing Priorities: • Smart growth: developing an economy based on knowledge and innovation.
• Sustainable growth: promoting a more resource efficient, greener and more competitive economy.
• Inclusive growth: fostering a high-employment economy delivering social and territorial cohesion.
EU Committee of the Regions / Digital Agenda Plenary 5.10.2010:Implementation of the Digital Agenda should include incentives aimed at
encouraging local and regional authorities and universities to work together to develop necessary Living Labs concepts.
The EU must adopt a new purposeful approach based on the idea that some regions and cities are pioneers, active researchers, experimenters and decision-makers who develop new solutions for the future for the benefit of all.
EU 2020 Strategy

Are We Ready to Respond?
The Grand Challenges
EU through Innovation Union:• Need to get more innovation
from our research,• Better understanding of
public sector innovation,• European Institute of
Innovation and Technology EIT to set out a Strategic Innovation Agenda,
• European Innovation Partnerships to be launched to accelerate innovation,
• …
Need to Integrate Top Research to Practice
EU 2020 Strategy Challenging Universities Reform & Need for Forerunners
Paradigm Shift Digital Single Market
The biggest challenge for EU and Member States is to adopt a much more strategic approach to innovation:Three major weaknesses:
1. Under-investment in our Knowledge Foundation,2. Unsatisfactory framework conditions, such as poor access to financing, high
costs of IPR, ineffective use of public procurement3. Too much fragmentation and costly duplication
Europe Needs to Develop Its Distinctive Approach to Innovation:• Focusing on innovations that address the major societal challenges identified in
Europe 2020• Create added value through European wide integrated investments on innovation• Pursuing a broad concept of innovation • Universities are having a key role: Knowledge Triangle• Involving all actors and all regions in the innovation cycle
EU Flagship: Initiative Innovation Union

Message Modern engineers are needed:- Integrating theory and practice- Rigorous training in fundamentals- Inter-disciplinary thinking- Curiosity and ability to understand problems in
socio-economic context- Ability to solve complex problems

European Creativity and Innovation Manifesto 2009
1. Nurture creativity in a lifelong learning process where theory and practice go hand in hand.
2. Make schools and universities places where students and teachers engage in creative thinking and learning by doing.
3. Transform workplaces into learning sites. 4. Promote a strong, independent and diverse cultural sector that can
sustain intercultural dialogue. 5. Promote scientific research to understand the world, improve
people’s lives and stimulate innovation. 6. Promote design processes, thinking and tools, understanding the
needs, emotions, aspirations and abilities of users. 7. Support business innovation that contributes to prosperity and
sustainability.www.create2009.europa.eu/fileadmin/Content/Downloads/PDF/Manifesto/manifesto.en.pdf

Why Knowledge Triangle?1. European higher education institutions should play a central role in
the knowledge triangle interactions by creating and disseminating knowledge valuable for society and businesses as well as by linking education, research and innovation through collaboration with the wider community.
2. The concept of the knowledge triangle relates to the need for improving the impact of investments in the three activities – education, research and innovation by systemic and continuous interaction. Higher education institutions must be given a central role in building a Europe where the impact of knowledge building can be measured in terms of social and economic progress.
The key statements of the Swedish EU Presidency Conference ”Knowledge Triangle Shaping the Future Europe” (organised in Gothenburg Sweden 31 August–2 September 2009)
EU: The Future Is Based on Knowledge Triangle
Martin Schuurmans, EIT Chairman “Innovation requires an integrated knowledge triangle”
• Actors in the knowledge triangle are at the core of the innovation web;
• Enhanced capacities + high degree of integration + leadership are prerequisites for scaling up Europe’s innovation performance.

One of the major aims of the Aalto Factory Park Concept is to create the necessary infrastructure and working culture to encourage collaboration between
a) research and education carried out by the university’s departments, b) the Aalto Factories, c) other Aalto units, and d) Aalto stakeholders.
Successful implementation of the Knowledge Triangle needs to be based on conceptualized processes. Target is mass customization & personalization and at the same time integrate different perspectives throughout the process.
Different learners integrated in the same learning process and different learner groups have different roles and responsibilities:
e) Working life experts (continuing education students)f) Young graduates doing their masters (basic students)g) Researchers (post-graduate students)

The Aalto President Tuula Teeri in her speech (Opening the Aalto Tongji Design Factory in Shanghai):“In the Design Factory the students come first. … Research and expertise are the most important sources of, and preconditions for, innovation. … The diversity of innovation relies on a strong research base as well as other factors, such as a climate and ways of working that encourage innovation creativity and the ability to take risks.”

ACSI is a meta-level innovation platform that networks researcher and user communities.• It builds up a global, self-renewing collaboration network and integrates
global societal innovation activities for learning, research and rapid implementation.
• ACSI will create an innovative operating mode that incorporates the annual Aalto Camps into university research, teaching as well as global innovation activities throughout the year.
• The international ACSI community produces innovative solutions meeting the needs of real life cases of society and enterprises.

Summary: Need for Regional Innovation Ecosystem
DRAFT: 3.10.2010
Regional Innovation EcosystemUniversity Campus 2020
According to the plans, by 2020, there will be new investments of about 4-5 billion euros: metro, tunnel construction of ring road, other infra, housing, office and business buildings, public services, university buildings, sports and cultural facilities…
The foundation and origin of the cultural growth is the human mind with the stem of the tree symbolizing lifelong learning.
Its strong branches reach out to the three university missions: research, education and interaction with society.
The blossoming flowers represent the solid base of creative synergies and collaboration, crucial for sustainable development.
