Mostly with commerce, engineering, and management educational backgrounds, the TFI intervention operates as a nodal site for these elite youth to not just serve underprivileged children through 'acts of compassion' but also channel their experiences to understand the education system and reinvigorate it through corporate management values of enterprise and performance. Through examining the trajectories of these individuals, I foreground the nascent terrain of technocratic expertise being shaped through an interlinked collective of corporate NGOs that have become prominent in advising the Delhi state government to improve public education through discourses of enterprise and performance.</span></p> <p align="justify" style="text-align:justify;letter-spacing:0px;line-height:17px;font-size:12px"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12px;letter-spacing:0px;line-height:20px"><b style="font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0px;line-height:10px">Speaker: </b></span><font color="#000000" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><strong style=""><a href="https://jgu.edu.in/jgls/dr-vidya-subramanian/" style=""><font style="">Vidya Subramanian</font></a></strong><font style=""> is an Associate Professor at the Jindal School Of Government and Public Policy.

With the maturity of hardware and software open interfaces, Open RAN is poised for larger-scale implementations in macro networks. Multinational operators have incorporated Open RAN solutions in their network development plan and are actively testing or deploying the open interface technology to their LTE and 5G NR networks globally. Vodafone has deployed Open RAN sites in several countries. Telefonica plans to achieve 50% of the new RAN site deployments based on Open RAN between 2022 and 2025. Etisalat has run a production trial of Open RAN for all mobile generations. Open RAN could deliver up to 30% TCO savings for operators with the right platform strategy and skill set.</p><p style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;padding:10px 0px;border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-kerning:inherit;font-feature-settings:inherit;vertical-align:baseline">In this context, the webinar will explore Open RAN best practices, aimed at providing accessible data services.

Policymakers often aim to foster competition among service providers, encourage innovation, and drive down costs. Additionally, regulatory measures can promote infrastructure development ensuring that diverse regions have access to robust connectivity.<br><br>Economic incentives play a pivotal role in attracting private investment in the expansion and maintenance of Internet infrastructure. Governments may offer tax breaks or subsidies to incentivize companies to invest in underserved areas. Collaboration between government, private sector, and international organizations becomes essential to create a sustainable model that balances affordability and quality of service.<br><br>Therefore,

world-wide discussed and is being recognized as a 'bright spot' in the world economy and a key contributor to global growth in coming years. However, there are grand challenges India must overcome to transition from a low middle income country to an advanced economy. Innovation and technological progress have played a significant role in this transition of the various industrial advanced and newly industrialized economies of the world. Increasing realizations over perspectives and role of innovations – including but beyond the technological – in impacting economies and societies at the macro, policies to address broad issues on innovation, aspects of local and sub-national dynamics are yet to receive due attention, especially in the absence of comprehensive statistics on innovation and related dimensions. Further, innovation potential of subsectors, regions, and resources (both physical and knowledge-based) has been poorly articulated as we have limited understanding of interrelationships between diverse stakeholders of science, social-economy and democracy. A common concern is 'over innovative governance' of access and use of resources (particularly, natural) to ensure broad basing of sustainable production, consumption and conservation. It also calls for looking more closely at the various successful initiatives that have led to emergence of new models and actors such as innovation clusters, TBIs, Startups and whether they have been able to bring a more inclusive governance framework.<br>IndiaLICS is the India chapter of Globelics, an international network of scholars who apply the concept of Learning, Innovation and Competence building System (LICS) as a framework for promoting inclusive and sustainable development in developing countries, emerging economies, and societies in transition. IndiaLICS engages in and pro-actively promotes domestic and global exchange of scholarship in innovation systems and the translation of innovation to development outcomes. It organizes seminars/conferences and undertakes capacity building activities as well as research with academics, policy makers, entrepreneurs and workers. For details, please visit: <a href="http://www.indialics.org">www.indialics.org</a><br>The Conference aims to be multidisciplinary in its approach by including scholars, practitioners, policy makers and development/civil society organizations. It would also showcase startups across various sectors and regions including from the rural economy. Although the focus is on India, lessons from other developing and developed countries shall be discussed in a comparative perspective. Papers shall be invited for presentation at the Conference and peer reviewed before acceptance. The Conference also invites papers on case studies of innovation clusters, technology business incubators, startups, etc. The Conference intends to bring out edited books through reputed publishers and special journal issues from selected papers presented.<br><b>Pertinent/Suggestive Themes by Broad Intersectional Categories:<br></b><ul><li><b>National Level:</b></li><ul><li>Innovation system in comparative perspective</li><li>Innovation, trade and development</li><li>Comprehensive database and indicators of innovation</li><li>Industry 4.0 technologies and Indian Innovation system</li><li>IPRs, standards & regulations</li><li>Foresights and futures for technology</li><li>Skills, knowledge and learning – gaps and solutions</li><li>Innovation activity and firm size in the context of changing technology regimes and market structures</li><li>Innovation and entrepreneurship in universities</li></ul><li><b>Regional/Sub-national Level:</b></li><ul><li>Global production networks and governance of value chains</li><li>Enterprise-academia-state-society interlinkages</li><li>State and STI</li><li>Regional Innovation system of India - assessment and challenges</li><li>Regional Innovation clusters</li></ul><li><b>Sectoral/Sub-sectoral Level:</b></li><ul><li>Skills, knowledge gaps in traditional and modern sectors</li><li>Innovations in agriculture, forestry, livestock and fisheries</li><li>Informal sector and innovation (both rural and urban contexts)</li><li>Innovation in services and business model innovation</li><li>Innovations in social sectors (education, health and water)</li></ul><li><b>Overarching Concerns:</b></li><ul><li>Science, technology and innovation links</li><li>Climate change and protecting the environment.</li><li>Gender and innovation</li><li>Inclusive and responsible innovation</li><li>Grassroot innovation</li><li>Frugal innovation and public policy</li><li>Creating and scaling deep tech startups</li></ul></ul>These are indicative themes only.

As a leading scientometric research centre, CWTS organizes the summer school to contribute to global doctoral-level training in the field of scientometrics.<br><br><b>Course description</b><br>Doctoral students in scientometrics often have various disciplinary backgrounds. As such, it is sometimes difficult to get a coherent overview of scientometrics. The CWTS Scientometrics Summer School aims to bridge this gap. It introduces participants to various methods and techniques utilizing scientometric data sources, such as scholarly publication metadata. The curriculum encompasses general quantitative methods, including causal inference, network analysis, text analysis, and visualization, alongside specific scientometric methods including citation and co-authorship analysis. It also critically examines major scientometric data sources like OpenAlex, Crossref, Dimensions, Scopus, and Web of Science, highlighting their strengths and limitations.<br>The summer school emphasizes practical application, transforming theoretical concepts into hands-on research through interactive data engagement. Visualization of science plays an important role in the course, with a special focus on the VOSviewer software. The course integrates practical scientometric applications within broader theoretical frameworks, enriched by guest lectures offering diverse perspectives on scientific study. These discussions explore the progression of science, knowledge accumulation, and the social influences on scientific practice.<br>The summer school will be highly relevant to students pursuing a doctoral degree in scientometrics, but also to doctoral students from other fields who want to use scientometric methods in their research. The summer school takes an interactive format and engages students in practical exercises on data collection, analysis and visualization. There will be ample room for bringing your own perspective and questions to the summer school. Dedicated time will be available for student presentations and feedback from lecturers and peers.<br>The CWTS Scientometrics Summer School is unique in its exclusive focus on doctoral students and other (junior) researchers. Other summer schools and courses in scientometrics, offered both at CWTS and elsewhere, address a mixed audience consisting of both researchers and practitioners. By focusing exclusively on doctoral students and (junior) researchers, the CWTS Scientometrics Summer School is able to provide scientometric education with a strong emphasis on fundamental scientific problems in the field of scientometrics.<br>The 2024 edition of the CWTS Scientometrics Summer School is scheduled for August 26 to September 06, towards the end of the summer break. Continuing its successful hybrid format, it will be hosted at Leiden University, the Netherlands, with online participation facilitated globally. Classes will be conducted only in the afternoons (13—17 CET) to accommodate international attendees.<br><b><br></b></div><div><b>Deadline for registration</b>: July 12, 2024 (registration opens April 1, 2024)<br><br><b>Location</b>: Online & Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University, Leiden, the Netherlands <br><br><div><b>Student requirements:<br></b><ul><li>English proficiency.</li><li>Master degree (any discipline).</li><li>Currently following doctoral (PhD) training.</li><li>Early post-doctoral researchers (< 3y after PhD) are also welcome.</li><li>No specific prerequisite knowledge.</li></ul></div><div>Lecturers: The summer school will be taught by leading scholars from CWTS. <br>Guest lecturers: The summer school will offer various perspectives on the study of science, provided by guest lecturers (TBD).<br><br><b>Preliminary Program<br>Week 1</b><br>Day 1 Introduction<br>Day 2 Data sources & data collection<br>Day 3 Measurement, operationalization & indicators <br>Day 4 Responsible evaluation<br>Day 5 Network analysis & visualization I<br><b>Week 2</b><br>Day 6 Network analysis & visualization II<br>Day 7 Causal inference and statistics<br>Day 8 Open Science practices<br>Day 9 Applications & Future directions<br>Day 10 Student presentations<br><br><b>Intensity<br></b><ul><li>PhD level education.</li><li>Equivalent of about 3 European Study Credits (≈ 75 hours).</li></ul><b>Registration</b>: The registration fee is € 300 for online participation and € 450 for participation on-site.
