We are all fascinated by the promises and miracles of the 21st century, but we rarely realize that we control and create the future. Our civilization is gradually evolving. Its evolution sometimes seems to be chaotic, with occasionally occurring revolutionary paradigm changes. These changes are always driven by innovations, by the applied inventions. The domain of innovation deals with the discovery of new knowledge, with using it to produce inventions, and finally with converting these inventions into applied technological innovations, into new products and processes, which change our life and drive the progress of our civilization.

24. Invent Tourismus INVENT - Innovative Vermarktungskonzepte nachhaltiger Tourismusangebote - ist ein Modellvorhaben, bei dem innovative Reiseangebote f r den Pauschal- und Massenmarkt entwickelt werden, die den konomischen, kologischen und sozialen Anspr chen einer nachhaltigen Tourismusentwicklung entgegenkommen sollen. http://www.invent-tourismus.de/

Startseite Aktuelles Projekt Partner Downloads ... Intern Startseite Endlose Bettenburgen, verschmutzte Strände, Einschnitte in Wälder und zerstörte Gebirgsregionen - Massentourismus setzt der Umwelt in vielen Teilen der Welt zu. Doch Massentourismus kann auch ökologisch und sozial verträglich sein. Wesentliche Voraussetzung dafür ist: Nachhaltige Reisen müssen stärker als bisher zielgruppenspezifisch vermarktet werden. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt das Forschungsprojekt INVENT - Innovative Vermarktungskonzepte nachhaltiger Tourismusangebote , das durch das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) gefördert wurde. Unter Leitung des Öko-Instituts e.V. haben Wissenschaftler des Instituts für sozial-ökologische Forschung (ISOE) GmbH und des Bereiches Tourismusmanagements der Universität Lüneburg gemeinsam mit Tourismuspraktikern der AMEROPA-REISEN GmbH und der Deutschen Bahn AG in den vergangenen drei Jahren Marketingstrategien und Urlaubsangebote entwickelt, die dazu beitragen, im Massentourismus Umweltbelastungen zu mindern und soziale Konflikte zu vermeiden. Die zentralen Fragen dabei: Wie werden Urlaubsangebote nachhaltiger? Wie kann ein größerer Teil der Urlauberinnen und Urlauber für Reisen gewonnen werden, die ökologisch und sozial verträglicher sind? Und wie können entsprechende Angebote gestaltet werden?

This Week Inventor Archive Inventor Search Inventor of the Week Archive Browse for a different Invention or Inventor The computer mouse Years before personal computers and desktop information processing became commonplace or even practicable, Douglas Carl Engelbart had invented a number of interactive, user-friendly information access systems that we take for granted today: the computer mouse, windows, shared-screen teleconferencing, hypermedia, groupware, and more Born in 1925, Engelbart grew up during the Great Depression near Portland, Oregon. He finished high school in 1942, and then studied electrical engineering at Oregon State University. During World War II, he took a break from his studies to serve in the Navy, which sent him to the Philippines for two years as an electronic/radar technician. In 1948 he received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering and went to work for NACA Ames Laboratory (forerunner of NASA). He then applied to the graduate program in electrical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley and obtained his Ph.D. in 1955. He stayed on at Berkeley as an acting assistant professor but a year later he left to work for Stanford Research Institute, or SRI Intl.

You can assist by editing it An invention is a new composition, device , or process. An invention may be derived from a pre-existing model or idea , or it could be independently conceived in which case it may be a radical breakthrough. In addition, there is cultural invention , which is an innovative set of useful social behaviors adopted by people and passed on to others. Inventions often extend the boundaries of human knowledge or experience. An invention that is novel and not obvious to others skilled in the same field may be able to obtain the legal protection of a patent Contents Process Artistic invention Art, design and architecture Music ... edit Process Invention is a creative process . An open and curious mind enables one to see beyond what is known. Seeing a new possibility, a new connection or relationship can spark an invention. Inventive thinking frequently involves combining concepts or elements from different realms that would not normally be put together. Sometimes inventors skip over the boundaries between distinctly separate territories or fields. Ways of thinking, materials, processes or tools from one realm are used as no one else has imagined in a different realm.

Technology transfer, in theory and practice Richard Nelson T here is no such thing as "technology transfer"or at least no single thing. Rather, different disciplines have given birth to different models for university research structures to interact with industry. The lion's share of fundamental research in the United States is done in universities; some of it is done in governmental labs, and a small fraction is done in industry, generally in only a few companies. It benefits all parties for knowledge to pass from one sector to another, but a simple model of linear transfer from basic research to commercial applications is inadequate to account for the complex interplay of interests involved. One pattern, arising after the Morrill Land-Grant Acts in the mid-19th century, is direct federal and state support for portions of the university system specifically working on problems bearing on agriculture. At experimentation stations affiliated with land- grant universities, faculty members worked on diseases of wheat plants, appropriate ways to fertilize and feed crops, and similar questions; parts of the university were thus dedicated, by intent and by funding, to the farming community and related industries such as pesticides and food processing. A number of engineering schools, too, have offices directly concerned with solving problems for local industry. In a different model, individuals or groups at universities perform basic research to understand particular phenomena, then publish an article about that understanding; after reading this public information, companies are able to better design products. Since the 1930s, for example, a considerable amount of university research has allowed the aerodynamics industry to benefit from new knowledge about the shapes and behavior of propellers. The biomedical research community and the pharmaceutical industry have had the same type of relationship; until recently, universities had little to do with the direct creation of new pharmaceuticals, but quite a bit to do with the understanding of biochemistry and diseases.

Special Issue Invention and Innovation John and Nancy Cronin are principals with ipCapital Group, a consultancy that helps companies organize and capitalize on their intellectual property. HOW Online talked to them about the ways in which collaboration has changed the ways companies invent. HOW Online: You’ve worked in the world of patents and intellectual property for many years. That world has changed a lot since you began, hasn’t it? It’s become a more collaborative enterprise. John Cronin: It has. I began my career at IBM. While I was there, I made a study of inventors and their processes of inventing. I found that some inventors were very private, and that these inventors seemed to have a much harder time getting their ideas through the system. They were always emphasizing that the invention was their idea – they were reluctant to work with co-inventors who could have improved their work and hastened its acceptance. By sharing his ideas with others and letting them build on the ideas, everybody on the team got value out of the process. In doing so, he also spread the risk of inventing, allowing a lot more people to take pride and ownership in the idea. Not only did he have eight, 10, 12 people working on patents with him, he had all these people defending the ideas, too. HOW Online: So by approaching invention from a collaborative point of view, individual inventors increased their chances of success.
