El programa Indústria del Coneixement, impulsat des de la Secretaria d'Universitats i Recerca de la Generalitat de Catalunya, vol afavorir la creació i la consolidació d'un ecosistema empresarial nou, d'alt valor afegit i intensiu en coneixement, basat en els resultats provinents dels diferents centres de generació de coneixement del sistema català de ciència i innovació, a fi i efecte d'aconseguir la generació de llocs de treball d'alta qualificació i una millora significativa de les activitats innovadores que han d'actuar com a motor de l'economia catalana en els propers anys.

Aquestes bases preveuen dues modalitats d'ajuts:

- Modalitat A. Ajuts Llavor per a projectes innovadors amb potencial d'incorporació al sector productiu.

- Modalitat B. Ajuts Producte destinats a l'obtenció de prototipus i a la valorització i transferència dels resultats d'investigació generada per equips de recerca de Catalunya.

This report provides an overview of national and regional cluster support in Europe as well as a selection of non-European countries, based on information on cluster policies and cluster programmes or other interventions to support cluster activities. With this horizontal overview, it complements the Smart Guide to Cluster Policy that identified good practices.

Publication output in peer-reviewed science and engineering (S&E) journals, books, and conference proceedings serves as an indicator of scientific research activity. New data show that worldwide S&E publication output continues to grow, reaching 2.4 million in 2017, with the United States and China being the two largest producers in 2017 (17% and 19% of the world total). When counted together, the European Union (EU) countries (at 26%) produced more S&E publication output than the United States or China. Globally, S&E publication output grew at an average annual rate of 4% between 2007 and 2017. Over the same time period, the share of internationally coauthored S&E publication output also increased from 17% to 22%.

This report discusses how the digital transformation – digital technologies, data and software, AI-based analytics and other advances – is changing innovation processes and outcomes. It highlights the general trends across the economy and factors behind sector-specific dynamics, including increasing use of data as a key input for innovation, the expanding possibilities for experimentation offered by virtual simulation, 3D printing and other digital technologies, and the growing focus on services innovation enabled by digital technologies. In view of such changes, this report evaluates how innovation policies should adapt to foster innovation and inclusive development in the digital age, and identifies priority areas for policy action. It also explores novel innovation policy approaches implemented by countries to foster digital technology adoption and collaborative innovation.

This book highlights new scientific research about how people learn, including interdisciplinary perspectives from neuroscience, the social, cognitive and behavioural sciences, education, computer and information sciences, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and engineering. These new developments offer fascinating new perspectives, based on technological advances, which enable a re-examination of longstanding problems in learning, raise new questions, and offer new approaches to the study of learning. This report of the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation seeks to catalyse discussions on the implications of these research findings for education practice and policy, and in turn, on how knowledge and experience from real-world education practice and policy could challenge and inform research agendas and theory building.

RECERCAT, el butlletí electrònic de la Secretaria d'Universitats i Recerca amb informació sobre recerca, ciència i tecnologia, és una eina de comunicació al servei de la difusió de la recerca d'excel·lència i de la tasca que estan duent a terme universitats, empreses, centres, grups i personal investigador a Catalunya.

The biomedical sciences have helped global average life expectancy rise by 20 years since 1960. This supplement highlights scientists and institutions prominent in the ongoing research effort that will further transform our ideals of a healthy human life in the coming decades.
