Special call for papers

In response to the global Coronavirus pandemic that sweeps the planet, the Triple Helix Association Summit launches herewith a Special Call for Papers (CfP).

This CfP addresses mainly the situation created unexpectedly by the Covid19 pandemic and focuses on the different structural aspects of its societal impact, the ways science, industry and government have been addressing the crisis as well as the multiple ways that the Triple Helix innovation model could be used to address this and future crises.

New technological trends have significantly accelerated changes in the economy and society at a pace we have never experienced so far.

Yet, feeding an ever-increasing population in a healthy and sustainable way, providing the energy needed to propel the daily life of billions of people, generating the resources needed to guarantee equitable growth for everyone are world grand challenges that need to be tackled on a global scale.

We need new models of cooperation where Government, Industry and Academia move cross borders to join forces, steering the opportunities and reducing the hurdles in the right direction for our society at large.

Join the 2020 Triple Helix Summit, where global leaders from academia, industry and policy will discuss how to build and grow regional innovative ecosystems to tackle world grand challenges!
