Open science is a powerful way to discover and disseminate new knowledge. But the very norms that animate open science can sometimes inhibit its subsequent commercialization. There exists a Valley of Death between the culmination of a scientific project, and the later commercial use of that science. While a fundamental knowledge of how a technology works may have been achieved, there is far too little known for businesses to invest in developing that knowledge further. And the best use of a new discovery often is unknown to those who first discover it. This is where open science must start to give way to Open Innovation. IMEC and CERN’s ATTRACT project provide two examples wherein a strong culture of open science co-exists with a thriving Open Innovation culture as well to traverse the Valley of Death

The active development of globalization and the formation of the information society contribute to the transformation of approaches to innovative activities. The purpose of the article is to consider the formation of an open innovation model in the modern information space. The latest approaches to the openness of knowledge, the creation of platforms for the development of open science, the tendency to increase the openness of research processes are reflected in the concept of open innovation. The model of open innovation provides a new cycle of creation and implementation of an innovative product. This model involves the active use of information about innovative products from the outside, increasing the availability of such information. The open innovation model determines not only the active use of external sources of innovation, but also provides for the increase in the openness of their own developments and the willingness of companies to the fact that at any stage innovation can go beyond the company and be implemented by other business structures. In the EU countries, the concept of open innovation is reflected in the principles defined in the European policy for knowledge transfer and open innovation. The new paradigm of innovations "Open Innovation 2.0" of the EU is the basis for the formation of their model in Ukraine. "Open Innovation 2.0" is based on the model of four spirals, where government, industry, academia and citizens work together to create the future together and carry out structural changes. Knowledge transfer, ecosystem approach, development of structures and mechanisms for exchange of information and experience are identified as the main tools for the development of open innovation. It is defined in the article that the active participation of the country in the European Open Science Cloud and the European Cloud Initiative are important stages in the development of the open innovation model in Ukraine. The European Open Science Cloud is Europe's virtual environment for all researchers to store, manage, analyze and reuse data for research, innovative and educational tasks. The European Open Science Cloud and the European Cloud Initiative are elements of integration into the European Research Area as a basis for access to new knowledge and increasing their openness. The development of the information society in Ukraine contributes to the formation of conditions for the implementation of the main components of the open innovation model defined by the European policy of knowledge transfer and open innovation. The transition to a new perception of innovation, the use of all opportunities to obtain new knowledge in the open scientific space, active participation in the system formation processes for open knowledge transfer in the EU can create a solid foundation for innovative changes in the national economy.

There is a Valley of Death inside many organizations, between the innovation managers and the business units of the company. This internal valley results from human, organizational, and structural bottlenecks that impede the flow of knowledge from the laboratory to the market. A powerful example of these bottlenecks surfaced in recent research at NASA. Four companies’ practices for managing these bottlenecks are discussed: SAP, Intel, EMC, and Royal Bank of Scotland. Companies must approach these bottlenecks with care, and examine their compensation systems, their funding processes, and talent management practices, to connect the back end of the innovation process to the front end of that process.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to add to the existing knowledge about how firm performance is influenced by their involvement in collaborative innovation. The contextual resource-based dimensions improve the participating firm’s performance through its impact on the job-related attitudes of the firm’s personnel. Design/methodology/approach Hypotheses were tested using structural equation model to analyze a set of data collected through surveys among a sample of Colombian manufacturers. Findings This study provides empirical evidence that contributes to the scarce research in the open innovation arena about how human resources influence performance in the inter-organizational collaborative innovations. In particular, it offers strong support for the key mediating role of the employees’ job-related attitudes in the relationship between complementary capabilities and innovation culture as value-creating conditions, and the participating firm’s ultimate sales and financial performance. Research limitations/implications The results may be affected by the context of the data set. Further studies considering the influence of specific contextual variables, such as the type of innovation, the national culture or the type of partner, could yield richer insights that would help validate the results of this study. Practical implications This study provides useful information for managers. As well as creating the required conditions to add value in the collaborative innovation, they should work to guarantee the better job-related outcomes for the employees involved in collaborative innovation projects. Originality/value This research contributes to the open innovation literature. It posits the employee’s attitudes toward collaborative innovations as a factor of the utmost importance in determining how the external collaboration affects internal performance.

This article reports on a conference workshop conducted at CYTO 2018. During the workshop a new Open Science forum "CYTO Lab Hacks" has been launched within the International Society for the Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC). Its goal is to serve as an open, transparent, sustainable and accessible forum for innovation-exchange in cytometry. Here we report the captured status quo, the perceived requirements of the members in relation to open innovation sharing and dissemination and publicize the format of "CYTO Lab Hacks".

Citizen science (CS) aims primarily to create a new scientific culture able to improve upon the triple interaction between science, society, and policy in the dual pursuit of more democratic research and decision-making informed by sound evidence. It is both an aim and an enabler of open science (OS), to which it contributes by involving citizens in research and encouraging participation in the generation of new knowledge. This study analyses scientific output on CS using bibliometric techniques and Web of Science (WoS) data. Co-occurrence maps are formulated to define subject clusters as background for an analysis of the impact of each on social media. Four clusters are identified: HEALTH, BIO, GEO and PUBLIC. The profiles for the four clusters are observed to be fairly similar, although BIO and HEALTH are mentioned more frequently in blogposts and tweets and BIO and PUBLIC in Facebook and newsfeeds. The findings also show that output in the area has grown since 2010, with a larger proportion of papers (66%) mentioned in social media than reported in other studies. The percentage of open access documents (30.7%) is likewise higher than the overall mean for all areas.

Abstract Early career researchers (ECRs) may experience tension between the ideal and actual amounts of time they have to complete a scientific project. Sometimes, a timeline is truncated because a citable product is required for applications or fellowship deadlines. This scenario is especially common for researchers who use longitudinal methods, and/or those who work with hard-to-access samples. Registered reports, an open science initiative, offer one resolution to this tension. In registered reports, the steps of analysis planning, manuscript writing, and peer review occur earlier than the traditional journal article publication process. If an in principle acceptance is earned, ECRs are afforded citable, peer-reviewed acknowledgement of their scientific thinking prior to the conclusion of a research project. This talk will serve as a primer on the registered report process. I will also discuss resources for writing registered reports, and provide a list of relevant participating journals in the field of gerontology.

The analysis of the innovative space with a complex structure and configuration has been conducted by showing that its space-time frame is uncertain due to the high dynamics. The results obtained from the analysis of virtuum as a kind of multidimensional reality, forming a new image of society and, at the same time, generating and combining new knowledge. Knowledge and innovation are shown as the fundamental dominant of the current model of society and as the result this model combines the characteristics of informational, cybercultural, technogenic, virtual, and innovative society. On this basis, the main purpose of the research was implementation of the correlation of innovative creations and new epistemes, which were the foundation of the innovative space. The ontological approach that became the theoretical basis of this research showed that the innovative space is understood as one of the multidimensional sphere of social existence as such, including all actors of innovation. The results of the research confirmed that fundamental knowledge is updating the epistemological resource, at the same time, the mechanisms and methodology of research are constantly changing, technical and technological tools are being modernized and all of these factors influence on innovative space. Besides, innovative space as an artificial environment is correcting social and natural phenomena.
