Unlocking Potentials of Innovation Systems in Low Resource Settings [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textThis study examined the dynamics, challenges and opportunities of developing innovation systems in low resource settings with a particular focus on Uganda. It applied perspectives of technoscience and concepts of innovation systems, triple helix as university-industry-government relationships, mode 2 knowledge production and situated knowledges in understanding the context, identifying key policy issues and suggesting ways to address them. A mixed methodology combining both quantitative and qualitative methods was used in the study. It involved review of key policy documents, key informant interviews, focus group discussions and meetings with scientists, business leaders in the target organizations and firms, community members as well as observations of production processes in firms. Findings underscore the need for greater interaction and learning among actors in the emerging innovation systems in Uganda and eastern Africa. An opportunity for this to happen may be the growing number of entrepreneurial initiatives at the university and some public research organizations in the country. These entrepreneurial initiatives are driven by scientists, who are enthusiastic about moving their research results and innovations to market. This makes it plausible, in low resource settings like in Uganda, to promote the university working closely with public research organizations and firms as a locus for research and innovation. However, enabling conditions, which foster interaction and learning among actors, should be put in place. First, there is need to formulate specific policies and strategies with clear goals and incentives to promote growth of particular innovation systems. Second, a clear national policy for financing research and innovation is needed, which involves on the one part core funding to universities and research organizations, and on the other, competitive grants for research and innovation. Third, business incubation services should be established and/or supported as places where entrepreneurial scientists and other persons develop and test their business ideas and models. Fourth, there is need for institutional reforms to make administrative processes less bureaucratic, more costeffective and efficient. These reforms are necessary for example in processes involving procurement and financial management, research project approvals (for ethics and safety), technology assessments, contracting and licensing and other registration services. The findings and conclusions from this study demonstrate that technoscientific perspectives and innovation systems approaches can be adapted and used as a framework for identifying and explaining conditions that promote or hamper innovation in low resource settings as well as policy options to address them.</p
Fostering Growth in Uganda's Innovation System
No full textResearch and innovation are key drivers for economic growth and competitiveness
of countries. Of recent research and innovation-related initiatives have arisen
in Uganda pointing to an evolving innovation system in the country and to the
need to deepen understanding of the transformations taking place therein. This
thesis provides evidence of this evolving innovation system in the country and
makes recommendations to foster growth in it. A participatory research approach
was employed using a combination of both qualitative and quantitative tools
including key informant interviews and review of key policy documents,
organizational reports and publications. Findings show that the role of
research and innovation in driving economic growth and development was
recognised in Uganda as early as the 1950s and 60s. But practical measures on
how to integrate them into the national development planning process were
lacking. It was not until the 1990s and 2000s that a realistic number of
research and innovation initiatives started to emerge. These initiatives ranged
from increased support to research, science policy development to supporting
innovative business clusters.
Arguably gains from these and other efforts would be enhanced, if government
adopts a dual funding strategy for research and innovation, which on the one
hand involves annual competitive grants and on the other hand increased core
support to universities and research institutes. The public organizations
create within them enabling conditions for creativity and enterprise
development. The quality of education is improved at all levels to maintain a
constant supply of a skilled scientific workforce. Ultimately, these efforts
require inclusive innovation policies, which promote linkages and interactions
between actors engaged in innovation processes both in country and abroad
The Other Face of Julius Fučík
No full textThe author of the thesis is primarily going to examine the publishing activity of Julius Fučík in the magazines Tvorba and Kmen in the second half of the 1920s. In her work the author will also focus on Fučík?s life and the historical context of that time. Part of the thesis will deal with his later works. The aim of the work is to show Julius Fučík in a different light in comparison to the previous unilateral views

Julius Bab Collection 1895-1977 ; bulk 1895-1955
No full textThe collection contains few personal, official or vital documents, but is exceptionally rich in correspondence, manuscripts, diaries, appointment books, and scrapbooks documenting Julius Bab's cultural work and endeavors. The bulk of the collection consists of the scrapbooks, which contain extensive clippings of articles by and about Bab. Of the other series, the correspondence is of particular note both for its extent and for the impressive array of original letters by notable cultural figures. There are the over 100 letters from the literary critic and martyred revolutionary Gustav Landauer, and nearly as many from the playwright Richard Dehmel; the files also contain a considerable amount of correspondence with Nobel Prize winning playwright Gerhart Hauptmann, with the philosopher Fritz Mauthner, and with the influential editor and writer Moritz Heimann. The correspondence files contain letters from over 90 additional cultural figures, chiefly writers and persons involved with the theater. Among the more prominent of these figures are Walther Rathenau, Thomas Mann, Richard Beer-Hoffmann, George Bernard Shaw, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Max Liebermann, and Stefan Zweig.Rounding out the collection are series containing diaries, theater and lecture programs, and clippings. The diaries series contains two diaries from before 1900, and thereafter several notebooks and appointment books which Bab used as calendars. Although these volumes are primarily functional, occasional longer entries or passages throughout the various volumes have a more diaristic character. The theater and lecture programs series contains programs, clippings, and promotional materials, such as handbills and small posters, for theatrical events and lectures that Bab participated in. A few items of the promotional materials are interesting examples of Jugenstil and Weimar era graphic design. The final small series of newspaper clippings of articles by and about Bab mirrors the overall structure and content of the Scrapbooks series, although it consists entirely of loose, rather than bound clippings.The memoirs of Bab's wife, Elizabeth, 'Aus Zwei Jahrhunderten' are catalogued separately in the memoir collection (ME 21).Photographs have been removed to Photograph CollectionBorn in Berlin on December 11, 1880, Bab was a theater critic, author and co-founder of the Jüdischer Kulturbund in 1933. He emigrated to France in 1938, to the United States in 1940, and died in New York City on February 12, 1955.A 23-page inventory is available in Box 1, folder 1.Julius Bab, Ueber den Tag Hinaus, Heidelberg, Schneider Verlag, 1960.
