🚀Calling all European Scientists & Researchers Passionate About Entrepreneurship and Innovation!🌍✨ Join us for this year's first Start for Future Research & Academia Community Session with Prof. Dr. Slavica Singer on "New Metrics for Systemic Innovation" February 29th 10-11 a.m. CET. The asymmetry between the new social, technological and economic development challenges and the ability to address them requires new approaches to defining and solving problems. These new approaches must be based on an understanding of the holistic, systemic characteristics of the context in which we live – everything is interconnected. If so, do we recognise these interconnections, what metrics are available to us to identify them, and how do we measure our actions to improve the wellbeing of people and the wellbeing of the planet? The quintuple-helix context in which we work and live requires academia, business, government, civil society and planet/environment to work together. This common language should be based on new metrics to measure the synergies that result from our individual actions in an interconnected, quintuple context. It is no longer a question of WHY new metrics are needed, but HOW to develop such a new language – let’s talk about it. #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Sustainability #Interconnectedness #NewMetrics #QuintupleHelix #Academia #Business #Government #CivilSociety #Planet    Join us for one hour of thought provoking discussions and insights.

What Dr Mira Kassouf has to say about skills needed to be a successful entrepreneur: "You can Google the top required skills for a successful entrepreneur and there are endless lists, often on the ability to create, inspire, focus, persevere, lead, connect, communicate and other similar points. Personally, I believe the qualities revolve around what I distilled from my experience in this space, developed with my team and deliver locally for Innovation Forum Oxford: a program called ACE – an acronym for Awareness, Connectivity and Exchange. I realised in so many ways that these three drivers encapsulate what I would like to support entrepreneurs with so they can propel forward."
