To improvise together for the pure curiosity, joy, and beauty of it constitutes a central but often neglected ability of human beings. Integrating pragmatic, practical, and technical skills with conceptual understanding, improvisation is adaptive and collaborative. It seems made to counter the challenges of living in a fleeting present, unconstrained by physical and historical boundaries, and very

Knowledge management är det begrepp och den teori som flest refererar till i diskussionen kring hur man bäst kan hantera och styra kunskap inom en organisation.

Public Procurement for Innovation (PPI) is a powerful, underutilized demand-side innovation policy instrument that can be used to stimulate innovation, meet sectoral policy goals and mitigate grand challenges. Further research is required to analyze how PPI contributes to these goals and how it operates in practice; more case studies are needed to achieve this. We analyze a case of direct developm

1983 års nobelpristagare i kemi, Henry Taube, professor vid Stanford University i USA, har gjort banbrytande insatser för att klarlägga oorganiska föreningars dynamik i lösning. Han får priset för sina arbeten rörande mekanismer för elektronöverföringsreaktioner, särskilt hos metallkomplex. Hans arbeten har väsentligt bidragit till utvecklingen av den moderna oorganiska kemin. De har stor betydels
