OLKC 2012  International conference on organizational learning, knowledge and capabilities

Valencia 25/27 April 2012

This Paper was developed as part of the PICK ME project. It was the first exercise on discourse analysis by using Atlas.ti software. We have explored the discussion bettwen scientist, entrepreneurs and government official coming from a debate on system of innovation.

Methodologically, we applied interpretative repertoire to track the connection between different ideas and value systems. The paper reveals some interesting insight on the culture of innovation and the rationale behind the use of policy instruments to foster innovation but especially at regional level

Applying participatory process for supporting Regional Innovation Strategies (RIS) and competence-based training in Chile

Competence-based Postgraduate course  for policy officers on Innovation and Territory

Secretariat for Regional and Administrative Development (SUBDERE) Chile

In 2012-2013, I had the inspiring experience of coordinating a blended professional course for more than 80 academics and R&D regional officers of 14 Chilean regions. The main areas of interest are regional systems of innovation and policy instruments. The initiative was part of the Proyecto RED (2010-2013). The EU supported the Chilean government and regions to develop regional innovation policies using the EU RIS methodology Smart Specialization Strategies (RIS3).

Organization of intensive workshops designed with techniques to foster networking, collaboration and problem-solving mechanisms. With that respect, one of the most exciting challenges was the application of participatory process techniques to fostering dynamics among groups of participants from very different Chilean regions. Nice experience

Regional business directory and economic demography

Conceptual and methodological proposal on a regional business directory for studies on economic demography

This working paper was drawn from an analysis of two main resources: the design and operation history directory companies “DIPUE system” and international experiences directories and business demographics. In this document the new model of Directory of Economic Units of the Province of Buenos Aires was proposed. It was aimed to improve the systematization of information, access to it and generate new statistical products for the public and private sector. Its content serves as basis for the preparation of the Procedures Manual and, in turn guide the planning of tasks to implement changes and any discussions on future applications, such as the Geographic Information Systems.

UNFCC and Climate Change mitigation measures in Argentina

Second National Communication of the Argentina to the United Nation Convention for the Climate Change

The project was a mayor advance for Argentina in term of the design and evaluation of technological and non-technological measures to mitigate the effect of climate change. It was funded by the World Bank and supervised by experts of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and delegates of United Nation Convention for the Climate Change (UNFCC).

This project was my first multidisciplinary experience. I joined multidisciplinary teams of architect, engineers, and geographers, GIS experts and sociologist to explore different projects and policy measures in two exiting areas: transport and energy efficiency in building. I have learnt a lot on methodologies for project evaluation and estimation of CO2 emissions but I also got a critical view of the economist in this kind of analysis.
The experience boosted my enthusiasm to learn more on multi-inter-trans and cross disciplinary studies on climate change. It was the seed and then, I started to think in Europe.
