On November 25th, LabGov welcomed Wes Damen, PhD Candidate at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam), in a seminar where we explored collectively “Normativity & Transparency in Legal Research Methodology”. Prof. Christian Iaione and the members of the LabGov / Luiss team engaged in an insightful discussion with Wes D. on our role as researchers in society.
On November 18th, 2024 in Amsterdam, Professor Christian Iaione, together with Adriano Contardi, Davide Testa, and Elena De Nictolis, took part in the City Science Initiative Meeting: “𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙧𝙗𝙖𝙣 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙀𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚. 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙖𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙖 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙟𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨?” – organized by Caroline Nevejan and the City of Amsterdam in collaboration with the UNICA – Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe and Eurocities.
This workshop aimed to investigate how to better align the goals of academic institutions with the practical needs of cities. To achieve this, it brought together various networks of universities and cities to explore the existing blind spots and identify ways in which these networks can collaborate more effectively.
As researchers from Luiss Guido Carli University and members of the LabGov team, we engaged and discussed, based on the Co-Cities model and approach, focusing on the mission that drives the City Science Initiative and, in Reggio Emilia, the City Science Office Reggio Emilia: uniting local administration and scientific research to build more resilient and innovative cities for the future.
Another meeting of the Technology Transfer program was held yesterday at the CTE Roma – Casa delle Tecnologie Emergenti. The participating companies engaged in an in-depth brainstorming session on the Business Model Canvas and future perspectives, followed by a hands-on workshop to learn how to use it effectively. Together, they worked on completing a collective canvas, aiming to explore new strategies for digitalization and the application of digital tools.
The program will conclude with the final meeting scheduled for December 5th.
The meetings for the ‘Technology Transfer’ Program continue at the CTE Roma – Casa delle Tecnologie Emergenti. Today’s presentations were led by Filiberto Brozzetti on “Data Protection: Legal Issues” and Paola Belingheri on “Introduction to Business Modelling”.
The program aims to exchange knowledge and expertise among companies, startups, and universities on important topics, driving technology transfer and speeding up innovation to make a real difference in the city.
On October 30, 2024, at the headquarters of the Banca d’Italia – Eurosistema, the seminar no. 4/24, “The Culture of Innovation in Organizations“, was held by Professor Christian Iaione and members of the LabGov ETS board: Adriano Contardi, Mario Manna, Alberica Aquili, and Pier Paolo Zitti.
The seminar was organized by the “Dipartimento Immobili e Appalti della Banca d’Italia” as part of the DIMA ‘INformative’ events.
