• Everybody Wants a Piece of the Pie: Why Universities Need to Create and Support Innovation

  One day – and that day might come very soon – the Earth’s resources will run out, its population will exceed 10 billion and people need to innovate to sustain development. Issues will begin to emerge that can’t be dealt with without innovative solutions. Even today, humanity encounters problems that can’t be solved by conventional methods. Universities become sources of ideas – but how can these ideas be commercialized? How to find investors to support the process of innovation? How do universities retain their scientists and how can scientists get rid of the obstacles on their path to discovery? These were the topics of discussion at an open seminar at ITMO University, given by Professor Manijeh Reyhani – a researcher at the Centre for Entrepreneurial Management and Innovation (CEMI) at the University of Western Australia who has received her PhD in Materials Engineering and a Professional Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) in the area of research innovation and commercialization.

• Visiting Scientist Silvio Hrabar: Why It’s Important to Find New Uses for Old Discoveries

  Being a scientist doesn’t just mean going to work – it means enjoying one’s work and turning it into a lifestyle, says Silvio Hrabar, ITMO University’s visiting scientist from University of Zagreb. He is conducting research into so-called “active” metamaterials which could provide a method of removing the physical limits of metamaterials. After all, these limits are the main reason why it’s so difficult to find an application for this technology. In an interview with ITMO.NEWS, Silvio Hrabar shared his thoughts on how this could be achieved, what should inspire a scientist and what are the advantages of bringing together physicists and mathematicians to study metamaterials.
