Knowledge, Research & Education at University and in Industry
Vobecký, Jan
After twenty five years of experience in the research, education and industrial cooperation at the Czech Technical University in Prague, the author of this contribution left into the industry. Working in the field of research and technology development of the multinational high-tech company, he has received a complementary picture on the organization, methodology and control strategies governing the Knowledge, Research and Education (KRE) in the industry. With the personal experience from these two worlds, he will talk about contemporary approaches to the KRE at both the University and Industry. He will present state-of-the-art practices from Knowledge Management Control, planning, reviewing and efficiency metrics of Research, the application of Learning Management Systems, etc. Their brief discussion aims to answer the question: What can today's University learn from modern Industry and vice versa in favor of a future growth?

A short story about multi-dimensional research assessment and SciVal applications
Verheggen, Joep
Research assessment is a abroad endeavour. At the root it is an attempt to measure the return on investment in scientific –scholarly research. Research assessment includes the evaluation of research quality and measurements of research inputs, outputs and impacts and embraces both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. In his talk the presenter provides a concise overview of developments in research assessment and evaluation practices and will address a conceptual model for multi-dimensional research assessment. He will further address Elsevier’s involvement in research management through its “SciVal” portfolio of research performance, - planning and - funding applications. The presenter will demonstrate how this portfolio can meaningful contribute to both national/regional and institutional assessment exercises. He will subsequently provide a number of examples to illustrate how Governments and/or HE Institutions and organisations like Elsevier can collaborate to improve the quality of Research Management and the assessment exercise process.

Evaluating Research at Levels from National to Institutional
Staros, James V.
Choosing appropriate research metrics is critically important whether one is responsible for research evaluation at the national level, institutional level, or the even the level of the individual researcher. I will discuss how research metrics are employed in several influential national research evaluation systems in the United States, how peer review is employed in the distribution of national research funding, and how individual institutions can evaluate their research programs to better align them with available funding and with national rankings.
