Strategic knowledge serendipity and arbitrage & intellectual venture capitalists: An emerging breed of knowledge entrepreneurs; and Part II: Global and Local (GloCal) knowledge logistics for innovation and competitiveness. ACES Working Papers, August 2009

Strategic Knowledge: While entrepreneurship may occur as a natural result of personal drive, it occurs most often, most robustly and is most sustainable in an environment designed to encourage it. Potential entrepreneurs become active entrepreneurs when the conditions are most supportive of their commercial opportunities and their business thus helping channel the two key qualities they exhibit as individuals obsessed maniacs and clairvoyant oracles (Carayannis, GWU Lectures, 2000-2005) and (Carayannis et at, 2003a) towards the generation of sustainable wealth. So far, entrepreneurial scholars who turn into intellectual venture capitalists by founding knowledge-driven companies remain one of the least explored specie in the territory of entrepreneurship. GloCal: The increasing engagement of firms within global knowledge and production networks and their ability to source knowledge globally as well as locally (GloCally), for the development of innovation capacities will shape the future of UK's knowledge resources and its role in the global economy. Practices such as off-shoring R&D activities are widely adopted, creating challenging, and not very well understood, issues related to cross-country and inter-firm knowledge and technology flows. We seek to address the internationalisation and networking of research and innovation activities, including the roles and strategies of enterprises, universities, research centres, governments in a cross-country and inter-sectoral way, to assess the impact and the implications for sustaining and enhancing the competitiveness of UK firms and other British knowledge producers and users.

EU Naval Force EUNAVFOR MED sets sail in troubled waters. CEPS Commentary, 26 June 2015

Apprehending pirates in the Indian Ocean is one thing. Defeating the networks through which smugglers traffic migrants through North Africa is quite another. The European Union’s new naval force deployment in the Mediterranean - EUNAVFOR MED - drew criticism from international partners and the general public alike when plans for a “boat-sinking” operation were unveiled, raising fears about unacceptable levels of violence and collateral damage; a European version of Mexico’s drug war. Yet the problems of EUNAVFOR MED lie less in clumsy public diplomacy than in the perilous mismatch between its stated objectives and the absence of a clear strategy and mandate, and this creates both operational and political risks for member states. Phase 1 of the operation: surveillance and assessment, has begun with no legal mandate to carry out the crucial phases 2 and 3: seek and destroy, whose military planning and outcomes are undetermined. Despite these limitations, the naval force could nevertheless mark a turning point in the EU’s security narrative, because it means that the Union is finally addressing the threats to security and the humanitarian tragedies in its southern neighbourhood.

A vela adaptada no Clube Naval do Funchal

O presente documento é um relatório da atividade profissional realizada no Clube Naval do Funchal (CNF) e insere-se no âmbito do mestrado em Atividade Física e Desporto, realizado enquanto aluno da Universidade da Madeira, focado sobre o desempenho, ações, funções e demais iniciativas levadas a cabo nos últimos cinco anos no CNF, tendo como tema principal a “Vela Adaptada” (VA) no CNF. Esta análise e reflexão crítica ao trabalho desenvolvido serão suportadas através das experiências e vivências próprias. A vela adaptada é um desporto recente na cena nacional e regional. Nos dias de hoje, a responsabilidade humana e social de cada um de nós determina que tenhamos o dever ético e moral de criar condições de inclusão às pessoas portadoras de deficiência, possibilitando e facilitando a superação de barreiras sociais que estão enraizadas em todos nós, bem como ajudando à mitigação dos constrangimentos no seu dia a dia. Por essa via, melhoramos a sua qualidade de vida e conferimos-lhes maior autonomia, sendo a atividade física adaptada uma das formas possíveis. Este desporto adaptado tem crescido nos últimos anos, fruto do surgimento de meios tecnológicos apropriados, digam-se embarcações que oferecem todas as garantias de sucesso no ensino aprendizagem desta variante da vela. Desta forma, a inclusão social e o desenvolvimento da vela adaptada oferecem e possibilitam a realização de atividades físicas de forma mais corrente, normal e, acima de tudo, segura. Este trabalho é um exemplo do papel social e inclusivo feito através da implementação de um desporto náutico, neste caso da vela adaptada, como forma de minimizar as assimetrias existentes neste âmbito social.
