Jeremy Klein, chair of RADMA is to give a keynote at this R&D Management Workshop. His theme is “Why R&D Management Has Never Been More Important”. The workshop is to review challenges, dynamics and trends of R&D management in China.
The organizers are interested in research that directly broadens the scientific understanding of the dynamism, change and application of R&D management in China. The call for papers for the R&D Management Workshop is open to a wide range of regional scopes and different methodological approaches including quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods and case studies, as well as theoretical/conceptual papers. Many topics may be relevant, including, among others:
- Innovation policies affecting China’s R&D management towards enhanced global competitiveness.
- New technologies and tools applied to R&D activities, such as big data, AI, and data-intensive scientific discovery (the fourth paradigm).
- Technology transfer in the digital era (Digital platforms, New digital technologies, Metrics and evaluation).
- New collaborative models of R&D to boost collaborative R&D among enterprises, universities and research institutions.
- The incentives and practice to enhance enterprises’ contribution to basic research and original innovation.
- China’s fundamental innovation.
- The optimizing of the internal and external environment for R&D activities, e.g., IPR protection and the promotion of new infrastructure projects.
- Disruptive innovation and incremental innovation in China’s R&D management.
- R&D networks, knowledge diffusions, and open innovation.
- R&D management in entrepreneurial/innovation ecosystem development.
- The new trend of foreign R&D under China’s “dual circulation” (Taking domestic circulation as the main body, the domestic and international double circulation promote each other) development pattern.
- China’s R&D globalization, e.g., R&D collaboration along China’s ‘Belt and Road’ Initiative.
- The international R&D collaboration mechanism, but not limited to, grand challenges such as issues related to progress toward the UN SDGs and green development.
