“…Following the typical system boundaries used in generic (i.e. nonagricultural) studies of innovation systems (Carlsson et al, 2002;Papaioannou et al, 2009;Wieczorek and Hekkert, 2012), we conceptualise the agricultural system as a combination of interrelated institutional, sectoral and technological subsystems. The institutional subsystem comprises different types of institutions, which are the formal and informal rules and structures that shape perspectives and practices (Leeuwis, 2004).…”

This paper introduces Rapid Appraisal of Agricultural Innovation Systems (RAAIS). RAAIS is a diagnostic tool that can guide the analysis of complex agricultural problems and innovation capacity of the agricultural system in which the complex agricultural problem is embedded. RAAIS focuses on the integrated analysis of different dimensions of problems (e.g. biophysical, technological, socio-cultural, economic, institutional and political), interactions across different levels (e.g. national, regional, local), and the constraints and interests of different stakeholder groups (farmers, government, researchers, etc.). Innovation capacity in the agricultural system is studied by analysing (1) constraints within the institutional, sectoral and technological subsystems of the agricultural system, and (2) the existence and performance of the agricultural innovation support system. RAAIS combines multiple qualitative and quantitative methods, and insider (stakeholders) and outsider (researchers) analyses which allow for critical triangulation and validation of the gathered data. Such an analysis can provide specific entry points for innovations to address the complex agricultural problem under study, and generic entry points for innovation related to strengthening the innovation capacity of agricultural system and the functioning of the agricultural innovation support system. The application of RAAIS to analyse parasitic weed problems in the rice sector, conducted in Tanzania and Benin, demonstrates the potential of the diagnostic tool and provides recommendations for its further development and use.

“…This has also included the role of particular institutions and organisations within these networks (see especially Edquist, 1997). More recently, a strand of innovation scholars have used the concept of ecosystems or ecologies-stressing the evolutionary nature of institutional interrelations and networks within market environments (see Papaioannou, Wield, & Chataway, 2009). therefore often have to make strategic decisions in order to implement the required adjustments while handling financial constraints.…”

During the last decades, there has been increasing interest in the role of the university as a key stakeholder and agent in innovation and regional development. In the face of new technologies, especially growing digitalisation and new societal and economic challenges, this paper proposes to reconsider the role of the university in the innovation system. More particularly, we introduce the idea of a business model for the entrepreneurial university of the future and develop nine conceptual theses. The theses are based on four elements of a business model concept: value proposition, creation, delivery and capture. With the help of the nine theses, we aim to trigger new discussions regarding policy implications for the future university in Europe.
