La proprietà intellettuale nelle università: guida pratica alla creazione e gestione di uffici di trasferimento tecnologico
Full text linkSolo due lustri fa la letteratura giuridica italiana sulla proprietà intellettuale generata in ambito accademico e sul trasferimento tecnologico era pressoché inesistente.
Nel corso di pochi anni il panorama appare radicalmente mutato.
Il tema è passato da esercizio dottrinale di nicchia ad argomento di assoluto rilievo, oggetto di monografie, opere collettanee e trattazioni di taglio manualistico.
La spiegazione di questo crescente interesse è presto data. La gestione della proprietà intellettuale è diventata anche nel nostro Paese una funzione di primaria importanza per le università.
Basta uno sguardo superficiale al contesto normativo e organizzativo riguardante il funzionamento degli atenei. La legge 240/2010 sulla riforma del sistema universitario (c.d. legge Gelmini) nomina la proprietà intellettuale nella disciplina dei codici etici accostandola ai conflitti di interesse (art. 2, c. 4). L’opera dell’Agenzia di Valutazione del Sistema Universitario e della Ricerca (ANVUR) riguarda, per diversi profili, la proprietà intellettuale. I nuovi statuti universitari, già emanati o in via di emanazione in attuazione della legge di riforma Gelmini, presentano clausole dedicate esplicitamente al trasferimento di conoscenze e tecnologie. D’altra parte, già nella vigenza del regime precedente alla riforma molti atenei italiani si erano dotati di regolamenti concernenti i brevetti universitari e le forme imprenditoriali connesse allo sfruttamento commerciale dei risultati della ricerca scientifica (c.d. spin-off e start-up). Inoltre, numerose università hanno edificato o stanno edificando strutture amministrative e gestionali dedicate al trasferimento tecnologico. Tali strutture possono oggi contare sull’opera di coordinamento di Netval, l'associazione delle università ed enti pubblici di ricerca italiani impegnati nella valorizzazione dei risultati della ricerca.
È in questo scenario che si colloca l’idea di tradurre in italiano la «Guía práctica para la creación y la gestión de oficinas de transferencia de tecnología en universidades y centros de investigación de América Latina: el rol de la propiedad intelectual», che Laurent Manderieux, autorevole docente di diritto della proprietà intellettuale all’Università Bocconi di Milano e visiting professor alla Facoltà di Giurisprudenza di Trento, ha redatto nel 2011 per conto dell’Organizzazione Mondiale della Proprietà Intellettuale (OMPI). Un’opera agile, redatta in un linguaggio chiaro e incisivo, dotata di una schietta vocazione interdisciplinare, dalle cui pagine traspare la vastissima esperienza internazionale del suo Autore. Un prezioso punto di riferimento per gli atenei italiani che intendono dotarsi di (o potenziare le già esistenti) strutture specializzate nel trasferimento tecnologico. [...] Laurent Manderieux ci ricorda efficacemente che il trasferimento tecnologico e la gestione della proprietà intellettuale sono funzioni complesse che implicano innanzitutto la misurazione della propria forza scientifica e consistenti investimenti in termini finanziari e di formazione del capitale umano [...].

Levels of Selection in Evolution/ Laurent Keller.
No full textIn English.Ever since the groundbreaking work of George Williams, W. D. Hamilton, and Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologists have recognized that natural selection generally does not operate for the good of the group, but rather for the good of lower-level units such as the individual, the cell, even the gene. One of the fundamental problems of biology is: what keeps competition between these various levels of natural selection from destroying the common interests to be gained from cooperation? In this volume twelve prominent scientists explore this question, presenting a comprehensive survey of the current theoretical and empirical research in evolutionary biology. Recent studies show that at many levels of biological organization, mechanisms have evolved to prevent potential conflict in natural selection. Editor Laurent Keller's aim in this book is to bring together leading researchers from all biological disciplines to outline these potential conflicts and discuss how they are resolved. A multi-level approach of this kind allows important insights into the evolution of life, as well as bridging the long-standing conceptual chasm between molecular and organismal biologists. The chapters here follow a rigorous theoretical framework, giving the book an overall synergy that is unique to multi-authored books. The contributors, in addition to the editor, are H. Charles J. Godfray, Edward Allen Herre, Dawn M. Kitchen, Egbert Giles Leigh, Jr., Catherine M. Lessells, Richard E. Michod, Leonard Nunney, Craig Packer, Andrew Pomiankowski, H.

Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
Full text linkThis article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity

On the role of satellite communications for emergency situations with a focus on Europe
No full textInternational audienceIn this paper, we describe how satellite communications may contribute to disaster management. During emergency situations, satellite communications present many advantages in supporting or replacing a terrestrial infrastructure (if any) subject to destruction or saturation. However, devising the right deployment model deserves close scrutiny in order to fit the responders needs and sustain financial viability. After reading the paper, we expect that the answers to the following questions will be made clear: what are the roles of telecommunications in emergency situations? How can satellite technologies help? How to mitigate the cost of deploying and using satellite facilities? Who are the actors currently involved in emergency telecommunications and more specifically satellite-assisted emergency telecommunications
