The management of a cultural change in higher education is becoming necessary and unavoidable: changes in teaching, changes in research and changes in governance. Digital transformation is an essential part of many countries’ modernisation agendas. The aim of this non-experimental, descriptive, survey-based study was to explore the perceptions of university students toward the digital transformation that took place in university teaching as a consequence of COVID-19. The specific objectives proposed were to: a) analyse the perceptions of students toward digital transformation in university teaching; b) determine the valuation of students about the digital transformation that occurred in university teaching as a result of COVID-19; and c) explore the resources (hardware-software), professional collaboration, digital pedagogy and student empowerment (motivation) with respect to digital education and the recent changes in university teaching due to the pandemic. The results show that a large number of items are positively correlated. In conclusion, further research should delve into motivation, collaboration, reflective experience sharing, self-learning and initiatives that promote the development of competences in future teachers.

The aim of the present study is to explore Digital Transformation frontiers using the lens of Open Innovation. By implementing bibliographic coupling method, the authors bring together segmental publications from different research fields and provide a comprehensive overview of the combined Open Innovation and Digital Transformation field's intellectual structure, revealing the different groups of thoughts, influential authors, and pressing topics. The research findings illustrate, the research area has polycentric composition with absence of overlaps between articles. Five main research groups are identified: Co-evolution of Digital Technologies and Open Innovation; Digital Peer-communities; Digital Ecosystems; Knowledge Management in the Open and Digital Era; and Open Innovation, Digital Technologies, and Businesses Performance. The current research contributes both Open Innovation and Digital Transformation fields by cross-exploring each phenomenon and revealing how Digital Transformation shapes the nature of innovation as a collaborative activity as part of an independent research area.

Digital transformation is a key driving force of open innovation to capture and transfer knowledge inside and outside of a company’s bounds. New challenges in organizing multiple knowledge flows imply the need for increased competences related to this paradigm of future employees. In this article, we organize and aggregate the competencies required for open innovation collaboration and develop a competence profile that organizes individual competencies in an open innovation context. Based on elements of the European Entrepreneurship Competence Framework, we delineate an OI Competence Profile and list the core competencies to manage and accelerate the inflow and outflow of knowledge. We explore this profile by comparing data from 2332 students from four European universities to find differences in the distribution of OI competencies between countries. The study contributes to understanding the individual competencies that target the future OI needs of companies necessary in the context of digital transformation. It also introduces an interdisciplinary approach to integrate the research streams of management practice, open innovation, and entrepreneurial education.

The article identifies how Research and Development (R&D) collaborations in startups can influence digital innovation in Brazilian manufactures. A qualitative multiple case study was performed with startups incubated at the Federation of Industries of Paraná (FIEP), through semi-structured interviews to the Chief Executive Officer (CEOs) and case document’s, applying the content analysis. The results indicate that the sources of knowledge of the startups and the collaboration with companies, universities, government development agencies and incubators, characterize the actions in the ecosystem of open innovation. It has been found that the complexity of the innovation ecosystem of startups is a strategic asset, and the nature of the collaborations is informal, coupled with a stage of maturity considered low in startups. This study contributes to highlight the nature, dynamics and progress of startup collaborations in the development of digital transformation, and the challenges for the leverage of Industry 4.0 in Brazil.

Currently, industry sectors are transforming to a new paradigm called industry 4.0 which emphasizes digitalization, interconnection, and intelligence in the frame of digital transformation. Technological innovation, which requires interdisciplinary collaborations, is the key for industry and society to play active roles in industry 4.0 ecosystems. Industry 4.0 end-to-end solutions are built on four technological pillars, i.e. smart products, smart processes, smart resources, and data-driven services. The talk will discuss collaborative open innovation involving universities, research organizations, large enterprises, SMEs, and the government to build the industry 4.0 pillars. The talk will also present the strategy of triple helix innovation model and examples of collaborative open innovation projects that implement the model. The projects concentrate on the applications of data management and engineering methodologies, such as knowledge graphs and machine learning, to develop the industry 4.0 pillars in manufacturing, construction, and smart cities sectors.

The planned goals and standards of the EU's digital transformation in the current decade are comprehensive and imply a major technological transformation accompanied by a profound cultural change, which should confirm and further improve the fundamental values of the European space. The digital transformation of the EU judiciary implies a structural reform of national judicial systems in order to increase their capacities to work on the Internet while respecting all legal guarantees, as well as to improve cross-border judicial cooperation of competent authorities at the Union level. The paper presents the basic characteristics of the planned European digital transformation until 2030, with special emphasis on the advantages and possible problems of digitalization of criminal justice, both in cross-border cooperation and in the application of digital tools in criminal proceedings. The paper aims to point out the process of setting EU standards in the field of digitalization, knowledge of which is very important for the development of the domestic judicial system, since it is not only about meeting European standards in concrete area, but timely inclusion in the current (fourth) industrial revolution.
