“…4 We believe this type of follow-up should be routine, to minimise creation of 'research waste' (i.e., research that stops at publication and does not benefit the populations). 28,29 We also call upon journals and researchers to operationalise this process and track their publications for policy impact. 30 We had a 100% response rate, and clarification was sought whenever responses were ambiguous, thus achieving participant validation.…”

“…We focussed our research on the healthcare domain due to the great applicability and growth of nanotechnology in medicine (Gabellieri and Frima 2011), which has been highly prioritized over the past European Framework Programmes (European Commission 2010; Galsworthy et al 2012).…”

Multi-disciplinarity breeds diversity: the influence of innovation project characteristics on diversity creation in nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is an emerging and promising field of research. Creating sufficient technological diversity among its alternatives is important for the long-term success of nanotechnologies, as well as for other emerging technologies. Diversity prevents early lock-in, facilitates recombinant innovation, increases resilience, and allows market growth. Creation of new technological alternatives usually takes place in innovation projects in which public and private partners often collaborate. Currently, there is little empirical evidence about which characteristics of innovation projects influence diversity. In this paper we study the influence of characteristics of EU-funded nanotechnology projects on the creation of technological diversity. In addition to actor diversity and the network of the project, we also include novel variables that have a plausible influence on diversity creation: the degree of multi-disciplinarity of the project and the size of the joint knowledge base of project partners. We apply topic modelling (Latent Dirichlet allocation) as a novel method to categorize technological alternatives. Using an ordinal logistic regression model, our results show that the largest contribution to diversity comes from the multidisciplinary nature of a project. The joint knowledge base of project partners and the geographical distance between them were positively associated with technological diversity creation. In contrast, the number and diversity of actors and the degree of clustering showed a negative association with technological diversity creation. These results extend current micro-level explanations of how the diversity of an emerging technology is created. The contribution of this study could also be helpful for policy makers to influence the level of diversity in a technological field, and hence to contribute to survival of emerging technologies.

“…5 For example, research investment by the European Commission (EC) amounted to 55.8 billion euros in its 2007-2013 Framework Programme. 13 This was dedicated to 'upstream' development of basic science and technology, including clinical trials. For such huge investments to translate into benefits for communities, 'downstream' absorption and application of the knowledge generated within health systems is essential.…”
