Gender Equity in Research and Business Post-Pandemic

Equal access to opportunity and “equity” more broadly have become central in economic and social conversations in the 21st century. This keynote draws upon current research on the benefits of gender-diverse teams, disparate impacts of the COVID pandemic on research time and career trajectory for women scientists and faculty, and the current state and makeup of the workforce. This keynote also presents actionable ways to keep gender-diverse teams engaged and to retain diverse talent.

Perspectives on open innovation: When theory meets practice

Since 2003 when father of open innovation Professor Henry Chesbrough coined the term ‘Open Innovation’ it has been the hot topic for academics, consultants and practitioners. Keynote aims to contribute to knowledge creation and more importantly, to knowledge accumulation, through the combination of multiple streams, perspectives, disciplinary approaches and diverse backgrounds.

In doing so, it departs from the current body of literature adopting a purely academic perspective on Open Innovation, and thus restates the importance of anchoring Open Innovation research into the reality, practices, challenges facing firms and policymakers.

This keynote reflects on Open Innovation book series which covers multiple perspectives, such as measuring and assessing the impact of Open Innovation, dealing with organizational matters and culture, designing strategies, policies, incentives and measures to support and implement Open Innovation, and discussing the advantages and limitations of adopting Open Innovation strategies.
