g / coaching touring around the comprehensive system of knowledge transfer, from the beginning to the market launch. Presentation of different cases on
knowledge transfer offices and describing the most successful models of management. The training will include topics on intellectual property units, enhancement of knowledge, passing the incubation phase of the company in its initial period and ending with the maturing of this company with specific support for stabilization in the market. The workshops seek the exploration of ways to encourage scholars to perform these tasks, since usually the incentive systems of the university depend on the scientific production of the researcher and not entrepreneurship is valued.

Quality of life, social innovation and living lab methodologies
Fostering quality of life through social innovation: a living lab methodology study case

Review of Policy Research
Participative processes and citizens’ empowerment are crucial aspects of social innovation (SI), involving collaborative activities between the private, public, and third sectors. This article discusses the principal trends in the literature on SI, its aims and differential characteristics related to identifying people’s needs, citizen participation processes, and improved quality of life. We present an exploratory case study of SI focusing on the gap between elderly people’s needs and the generation of business opportunities, using a living lab (LL) methodology for collaborative placed-based innovation. Our results suggest that LLs are a helpful instrument to detect community needs, improve local development, and support and integrate technological and social innovations in policies and local governance processes

Reflexive governance and action research for local renewable energy policy in Spain
Innovation in process of policy design by reflexive governance and action research. The case of renewable energy policy in Pobla de Vallbona
The presentation aims to analyse the interaction experience of a multidisciplinary team in the formulation process of the renewable energy local normative. A set of different elements on the formulation process and the content of the normative will be analysed by exploring the concept of reflexive governance. For doing so, focus will be put in the search of agreement and consensus by considering different interpretation of innovation polices as public procurement for R&D and green procurement as well as more general concepts as governance, participation and decision making mechanisms. Finally key issues of action research approach will be described in term of the the role of local environments on the generation, exchange and knowledge transfer as key drivers for the design and implementation of environmental regulation.
The presentation is based in the participation of the authors in the project Mediterranean renewables energy ENERMED. The project seeks to bring coherence to Mediterranean regional policies on renewable energy for innovation and competitiveness. Our skills will contribute to understanding.

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
