“…Some clusters can be defined as innovative clusters because its sustainability and effectiveness is determined by the complementarity of assets, resources and competences. The changing role of the educational and research component in the intelligence core within the cluster is also observed [1]. In the model of innovation cluster "Sapience Integra" proposed by the authors, the main dynamic processes in the core are determined by the influence of regional or national innovation policies.…”

-This article develops the crucial points of Sapience Integra model concerning the dynamics of intelligence core of the innovation cluster, determining the enlarged division of innovation clusters into technological and researchentrepreneurial types. The authors define the intelligence core as a structurally stable component. There is a new approach to define the innovation cluster as a type of territorial concentration including the interpenetration and mutual influence of the research potential, the dominance of the university's research sector, the entrepreneurship and the intellectual results within the main cluster structural components. Thus, the innovative cluster is considered as the most mobile and evolutionarily predictable variant of the integrated structure and territorial concentration. The model presents the perspective of innovation policy within Asia-Pacific region.

“…12 The need for this type of relationship acquires significant importance given the enormous funding needs of universities and research institutes for developing scientific and technological knowledge. Both could benefit from collaboration by expanding their research capabilities, technological potential and external financing (Wang & Shapira, 2012), and even by building market niches within the context of international competition.…”

Links between universities and firms (U-F) have been developed in a process in which universities have transformed the arena in which they carry out their missions and firms have internalized the need for cooperation in order to strengthen their R&D, with the idea of developing new products and processes in the context of the innovation economy. The aim of this paper is to analyze the factors affecting knowledge links among industry and scientific fields across Mexico's technological sectors. According to our estimations, using a negative binomial model based on 959 USPTO Mexican patents granted from 1980 to 2013, and using the scientific references cited in the patents as a dependent variable, we found that a greater propensity toward industry and science links is positively associated with the international mobility of inventors, previous technological knowledge, technological knowledge diffusion, science-intensive technological sectors, and larger inventor team size, but negatively associated with technological collaboration. Resumen: Los vínculos entre las universidades y las empresas (UF) se han desarrollado en un proceso en el que las universidades han transformado el escenario en el que llevan a cabo sus misiones y las empresas han interiorizado la necesidad de cooperación a fin de fortalecer sus actividades de I + D, con la idea de desarrollar nuevos productos y procesos en el contexto de la economía de la innovación. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los factores que influyen en los vínculos de conocimiento entre los campos de la industria y científicos en todos los sectores tecnológicos de México. De acuerdo con nuestras estimaciones, utilizando un modelo 126 n EconoQuantum Vol. 13. Núm. 1 binomial negativa sobre la base de 959 patentes USPTO mexicanos otorgados desde 1980 hasta 2013, y el uso de las referencias científicas citadas en las patentes como una variable dependiente, se encontró que una mayor propensión a los vínculos entre la industria y la ciencia se asocian positivamente con la movilidad internacional de los inventores, los conocimientos tecnológicos previos, la difusión del conocimiento tecnológico, los sectores tecnológicos intensivos en los equipos de inventores de mayor tamaño, pero asociados negativamente con la colaboración tecnológica. n Palabras clave: Vínculos industria-ciencia, patentes, factores de la propensión a los vínculos industria-ciencia enlaces UF, México.

Governance of nanotechnology is essential for realizing economic growth and other societal benefits of the new technology, protecting public health and environment, and supporting global collaboration and progress. The article outlines governance principles and methods specific for this emerging field. Advances in the last 10 years, the current status and a vision for the next decade are presented based on an international study with input from over 35 countries.Keywords Nanoscale science and engineering Á Nanotechnology innovation and commercialization Á Responsible development, Global governance, Emerging technologies Á Societal implications Á Ethical and legal aspects Á Nanotechnology market Á Public participation Á International perspective Vision for the next decadeChanges in the vision over the last 10 years Nanotechnology has been defined as ''a multidisciplinary field in support of a broad-based technology to reach mass use by 2020, offering a new approach for education, innovation, learning, and governance' ' (Roco et al. 1999). The governance of nanotechnology development for societal benefit is a challenge with many facets ranging from fostering research and innovation to addressing ethical concerns and long-term human development aspects. The U.S. nanotechnology governance approach has aimed to be ''transformational, responsible, and inclusive, and [to] allow visionary development'' (Roco 2008). Both domestically and globally, the approach to nanotechnology governance has evolved considerably in the last 10 years:• The viability and societal importance of nanotechnology applications has been confirmed, while extreme predictions, both pro and con, have receded.
