Development Goals

The Hong Kong Student Science Project Competition (HKSSPC) promotes the interest in science and technology among youth, develops their creativity and critical thinking skills through an innov ative application of science and technology, and ignites their passions and career interests in these areas. This year, the HKSSPC was organized by The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, the Education Bureau, the Hong Kong Science Museum, and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation. Furthermore, it was supported by the Innovation and Technology Commission and the Hong Kong Young Academic of Sciences. We extend our thanks to all these groups for making this year’s competition a success. STEM Fellowship collaborated with the HKSSPC Secretariat to provide youth from Hong Kong with the unique opportunity to submit their work in the STEM Fellowship Journal. This year’s theme was “Inspiration from Living - Innovation from Science” with an emphasis on United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The broad scope of the competition allowed participants to submit their work in a variety of areas such as water pollution, nanoparticles, artificial intelligence systems, agriculture, environmental health, plastics, waste reduction, and many more. We are pleased to share the creativity and ambitious drive for research demonstrated by HKSSPC’s participants in these proceedings. We would like to congratulate every passionate individual who participated in the HKSSPC this year and wish them the best in their future STEM-related endeavours.

Scientific Infrastructure

Innovation and technology, which are part of the debate in the knowledge society, are linked to the creation of a prosperous environment that benefits them, the result of multiple and coordinated action of three factors: government, productive structure and technological and scientific infrastructure. The investigation starts from the following question: What is the best methodology for managing the structures known as Science and Technology Parks? The objective of the research is to develop a management model for the Scientific and Technological Park of the Missions Region in order to optimize its economic and financial self-sufficiency so that it does not depend exclusively on resources from the University or from public notices. In methodological terms, the research is a qualitative one, of an applied nature since its results will be used in practice to solve a specific problem. As preliminary results, a self-sustainable management model for the Scientific and Technological Park of the Missions is presented, considering its specificities and peculiarities. This model was developed from the investigation of the main methodologies used in PCTs in different regions of the world and in Brazil, with the purpose of indicating the most appropriate strategies for the implantation of PCTs in a farming region, as well as, identifying the regional base actors technology to understand the operation of the Triple Helix.

This article is the second of two dedicated to the nature and scope of university–industry interaction in Australia. The first article, published in the October 1999 issue of Industry and Higher Education, was concerned with overall strategies, policies and instruments facilitating innovation and technology-based entrepreneurship, especially through the development of science and technology parks (STPs). STPs continue to remain the focus of this article as it is based on the findings of the same study mission to Australia that informed the first article. However, specific attention is given here to the features of particular university or science park based entrepreneurial activities, especially as they serve to promote innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises located on the STPs. While the descriptive scope of the article is general in nature, the objective is to examine individual schemes and projects that have been developed to foster better university–industry interaction, and SME growth and development, especially entrepreneurial good practice.

The mining industry in the world has undergone a major metamorphosis in recent years. These changes have forced higher education to modify the curricula in a thorough way to meet the mining entrepreneurs’ needs. The paper’s scope is to answer the research question—how to attract students and implement Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in higher education in mining engineering? Based on the case of international cooperation carried out at the Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (WUST) within the framework of educational projects co-financed by European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities Raw Materials (EIT RM), the authors prove that the idea of sustainable development can be introduced into the system of teaching mining specialists at every level of their higher education (engineering and master’s studies), through developing their new competencies, introducing new subjects taking into account innovative solutions and technologies, or placing great emphasis on environmental and social aspects. Examples of new curricula show a good way to change into the new face of a mining engineer.

Establishment of every urban element in its appropriate position requires advanced technology and science from geographical and climatic point of view. This is accompanied and synchronous with modern culture born by supreme and high level of training and education in the society. In this regard, one of the main objectives of the architectures' union is to establish science and Technology Park with the aim of facilitating and accelerating science and technology transmission from university to the society and country.Tabriz city is considered as one of the most important academic and industrial cities in the country. Establishing science and technology parks can be effective in scientific, economic and social development of the country and province. Employing organic methods in architecture to use natural energies is an effective and useful method and its structure produces less pollution. Using philosophical and introductory issues and views of technology and establishing technology parks, present article proceeds on issues of organic architecture with new approach which is inspired by ants' nest algorithm and presents a new experience of architecture in the form of Science and Technology Park.
