5th International Triple Helix Conference

The Capitalization of Knowledge: cognitive, economic, social & cultural
aspects

Track on Triple Helix Indicators

Turin, Italy - 18-21 May 2005

The Triple Helix provides a platform for researchers from a variety of
disciplines with a common interest in university-industry-government
relations. There has been an increasing interest in developing new and
improving established indicators in a number of areas especially related to
the Triple Helix. These include the following:

*

        Mapping Scientific and Technological Communication and Collaboration

*

        Dynamics of University-Industry-Government Relations
*

        Intellectual Organization of Knowledge-based Innovations
*

        Evolution of Boundary-crossing Intellectual Spaces
*

        Simulation Studies
*

        Analyzing Science-Technology Interaction
*

        Evaluating University-Industry Collaboration
*

        Indicators of Academic Entrepreneurship and Science-based Innovation
*

        Measuring the Impact of Universities as Regional Innovation
Organizers
*

        Assessing the function of science parks, business incubators and
other intermediaries in the capitalization of knowledge

The analysis of bibliometric, patent, or webometric data can make important
contributions to our understanding of these aspects of the Triple Helix.
Additional insights can be gained from extending informetric analyses using
other quantitative and also qualitative approaches.

This track on Triple Helix Indicators welcomes informetric and other
quantitative contributions addressing the above issues. Also papers of a
more qualitative nature are invited in so far as they contribute towards a
better understanding of indicators in this area.

We aim to publish a selection of contributions in a dedicated issue of a
relevant journal to ensure the widest-possible distribution of the papers
presented.

Young researchers and Ph.D students, particularly from transitional and
developing countries are encouraged to participate. Grants are available
upon request depending on resources available.

The selection of relevant presentations will be made on the basis of
extended abstracts (1500 words or 3 full pages). The deadline for submission
is November 1, 2004. Full papers are to be submitted by February 1, 2005 and
should not exceed 7000 words.

All submissions (preferably in MS Word format) should be sent to Paola
Caretta or Rocio Ribelles Zorita at organization@triplehelix5.com and copied
to loet@leydesdorff.net and m.s.meyer@sussex.ac.uk.
