Apply new technologies!
• In the name of progress,
our official culture is
striving to force the new
media to do the work of
the old
(Marshal MCLuhan,
1911-1980)

From technology to innovation
• Father Leopold Verhagen, Dutch priest, who under-stood how to use new technology and who was in the fifties a famous TV presenter
• His innovation was, not to use the TV as a radio but explore a new way of communication

From innovation to wealth creation
• More invention comes from borrowing and combining than from simple innovation
• „I invented nothing new“, said Henry Ford, „I simply assembled into a car the discoveries of other men behind whom were centuries of work“
Henry Ford

Innovation today
• Innovation means observing customers to discover what they want, then satisfying them with new products
• iPod: Existing technology from mainly 3rd party providers

...and more
• Due to the nanotechnology,
a small unit
• But the consumer is part of
the Innovation Added Value
Chain by demanding this
product also in red and in

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

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

Shift of Paradigm
• An old philosophical dispute:– Kant vs. Hegel– Platon vs. Heraklit
• Heraklits core message:– Everything is in flow, nothing is
fix – No-one can step twice into the
same river • Practical examples:
– Static vs. Dynamic modelling– Euler vs. Lagrange
• Discipline orientation vs. Knowledge flow orientation
Heraklit from Ephesos

Shift of Paradigm
Old research world
• Knowledge is „a
material thing“
• Discipline oriented
• Research disciplines
• Production oriented
• Top down control of
the hierarchy
New research world
• Knowledge is like „a
liquidity“
• Knowledge flow
oriented
• Research process
• Consumer oriented
• Self control of the
process quality

Impact of CERIF
• CERIF drives:
– Process and quality orientation
– Partner orientation
in research + innovation
15 © uniCRIS AGeuroCRIS Meeting Bruxelles 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
16 © uniCRIS AGeuroCRIS Meeting Bruxelles 2005
Partner orientation
• Know and understand the
needs of the partners to
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 source
• The conspiracy between ex-
perts is a (hidden) reality
