SUMMARY:Transforming Innovation for Sustainability at Rio+20
DESCRIPTION:16 June 14.00-15.30\nSTEPS Centre and Stockholm Resilience Centre have convened a session  ‘Transforming Innovation for Sustainability’ within the two-day IIED ‘Fair Ideas’ event. \nSpeakers: \n\nGlauco Arbix (Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology)\nLidia Brito (UNESCO)\nMelissa Leach (STEPS Centre)\nJohan Rockstrom (Stockholm Resilience Centre)\nKevin Urama (African Technology Policy Studies Network)\n\nInformed by the STEPS Centre’s ‘3D agenda’ for innovation and the Stockholm Resilience Centre’s work on ‘planetary boundaries’\, this session will focus on new approaches to governing innovation that give more power to the grassroots to address social and economic aspirations\, whilst also keeping within the ‘safe operating space for humanity’.  An institutional framework that fosters innovation for local\, national and global sustainable development objectives may be a key theme at Rio+20\, but guiding principles for such a framework are proving elusive. The session will hear proposals from an international panel of leading researchers and practitioners who are closely engaged with these debates. \nParticipation in the Fair Ideas event is free\, but you are encouraged to register in advance: see www.fairideas.org for the full programme and registration details.

SUMMARY:ICSU Forum on Science\, Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Leach\, STEPS Centre director\, will be among the speakers at a side event at this 5-day conference in Rio de Janeiro. \nThe session is entitled “To Cross a Widening Gulf: New Patterns and Practices of Science for Sustainability”. The other speakers are Myanna Lahsen and Stephen Zehr. \n \nAbout the session: \nWhile scientists are warning that Earth’s vital processes are imperiled\, threatening humans and their environments\, societies have been reluctant to heed and change course. The widening gulf between knowledge and action impedes efforts to find and follow a sustainable pathway. This poses a grand challenge for interdisciplinary scholarship. Speakers will analyze the character and causes of this disconnect\, and propose strategies to close it by creating\, directing\, and distributing knowledge and technology in new ways. Doing so will require integrating insights and approaches from the social sciences and humanities with those from the natural sciences and engineering. \nSpeakers: \n\nMyanna Lahsen\, Center for Earth System Science\, Brazilian Institute for Space Research\, Brazil\nMelissa Leach\, STEPS Centre\nStephen Zehr\, University of Southern Indiana\, USA

SUMMARY:STEPS Seminar: Ilse Oosterlaken
DESCRIPTION:Technology Design\, Socio-Technical Networks and the Creation of Individual Human Capabilities: The Case of a ‘Local Content\, Local Voice’ Podcasting Project in Zimbabwe \nIlse Oosterlaken\nDelft University of Technology / 3TU Centre for Ethics and Technology \nThe seminar uses the case of the ‘local content\, local voice’ podcasting project on livestock management\, implemented by Practical Action (formerly ITDG) in Zimbabwe\, to illustrate (a) what normative perspective that the capability approach (CA) of Sen and Nussbaum – which centrally acknowledged the pervasiveness of human diversity – offers on technological development interventions\, and (b) the role of both technological design and socio-technical networks in expanding the valuable individual human capabilities that the CA holds to be of central moral importance. \n \nTo get a proper understanding of such expansion\, so it will be argued\, the CA needs to be supplemented with insights from e.g. Science and Technology Studies and the Appropriate Technology movement. Finally\, the talk also briefly addresses how broader politics may subtly influence technological choice/design\, with implications for development outcomes. \nAll are welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:STEPS Seminar: Sara Wolcott
DESCRIPTION:Towards (knowledge-generation) strategies for navigating complex change: a cross-sectoral perspective \nSara Wolcott\nFuture Health Systems and STEPS Centre Researcher \nGiven the current context of rapid change\, multiple crises and increasing complexity\, how can and are institutions developing to actively navigate pathways for workable and equitable societal transformations? What are the research strategies necessary for enabling this to occur? \n \nFuture Health Systems has been increasingly looking towards complexity sciences – including resilience\, transition management\, network sciences and adaptive governance – to find generative approaches to understand and navigate increasingly complexity\, unintended outcomes and diversity in health systems undergoing regime change. This seminar presents research findings on how other sectors are managing similar challenges and incorporating complexity sciences into their strategy. This includes high reliability managers\, socio-ecological systems\, the private sector\, planning and public policy. It proposes an initial research strategy. \nThe seminar is an opportunity to seriously discuss research strategies for the emerging networked institutions dealing with complex change and enabling and opening desired pathways for greater human security and well being. \nAll are welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:STEPS Centre Seminar: Matias Ramirez
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the tools of social network analysis for competence building and inclusion in emerging clusters: Looking at Peruvian mangos and Colombian palm oil\nBy Matias Ramirez\, Senior Lecturer in Management at SPRU – Science and Technology Policy Research\, Business and \nPolicy makers in many developing countries have been increasingly drawn to the notion that sustained economic development and improved rural livelihoods can be simultaneously attained through a “learning by exporting” dynamic in hitherto isolated agricultural clusters. However\, assessing the effectiveness of the economic and social impact of regional policy has historically been an extremely challenging task. Hamstrung by the high degree of idiosyncrasy of local factors and the changing nature of regional dynamics\, what works in one area won’t necessarily work in another. This presentation explores the extent to which some of the tools provided by social network analysis (SNA)\, that analyses social phenomena through the structure and patterns of ties between actors (individuals\, firms etc)\, can provide some insights for cross comparative analysis of these emerging clusters. \nMatias Ramirez is a senior lecturer in SPRU and has researched and published in areas relating knowledge work to innovation including labour mobility\, knowledge transfer in regional (cluster) and technological systems in developing country contexts and international comparative analysis of employment regimes and management in high technology sectors.
