Who we are…




November 1995 – A research group from Production Engineering should develop an integrated platform (Stela Platform) for supporting distance learning education regarding the administrative processes. The platform should also be compatible with the national information systems in S&T.

UFSC - PPGEP

March 1996 – Stela Platform is launched with a surprising perception by the national media.

Who we are (a little bit of history...)




1997 – CNPq sets us a challenge: to manage the systems that should take car of the 3rd National Pool of R&D Groups.

1998-2004– CNPq hired us to the conception, development and deployment of Lattes Platform (in collaboration with other institutions)

Stela InstituteStela Institute• 2002 - Stela Institute begins as a start up

from Grupo Stela.

• It is a non profit Organization for R&D in IT and Knowledge Engineering.

• We have 65 collaborators among doctors, masters, and graduated in Production Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, and related areas.

“To combine scientific research with technological innovation for knowledge

generation that leads to organizational and social development”

A National Portal for Innovation




Innovation Law(2004 e 2005)

– Establishes incentives to innovation and scientific and technological research in industry

– It aims to reach technological autonomy and capacity in industrial development

– Presidential act last October (11/10/2005)

Demand for a Portal Genesis. In 2004 the Ministry of Science and Technology was interested

on “INVENTEC Project” from Bahia State (from 1998).

Demand. In 2004 MCT asked CGEE (Center of Strategic Studies and Management) an instrument that could support cooperation between University and Firms, particularly in the context of Innovation Law.

Introduction




Institutional Cooperation. The conception and development is a result of several institutional cooperation:

CNPqNational Council of Scientific and Technological Development

FINEPFinancial Agency of Studies and Projects

SEBRAEBrazilian Service of Support to Small and Medium Firms

CNINational Confederation of Industry

IEL Instituto Euvaldo Lodi

ANPEINational Association of Research, Development and Engineering in Innovative Companies

NAECenter for Strategic Subjects –Presidential Cabinet

FOPROPForum of Research and Graduate Directors

INMETRONational Institute of Metrology, Normalization and Industrial Quality

ABDIBrazilian Agency of Industrial Development

Introduction




2. How to make such competences available to firms for contact and collaboration?

Main Issues in Building such a Portal

1. How to capture the national knowledge in ST&I in a systematic and continuous way?

3. How to know the firms demands on ST&I so the collaboration can start from both sides?

4. How far the current technologies and methodologies can lead a cooperation project such “Portal Inovação”?




• The Innovation Portal is an electronic governmental service with systems specially designed to users related to the national innovation chain.

• As a Portal, this environment supports processes of location, contact and correspondence between firms and technical-scientific community.

What is the Innovation Portal?

Systems and resources accessed via Web E-Governmental Architecture

ANALYSIS OF THE EXPERT’S PROFILE





SAVING EXPERTS IN “FAVORITES” FOR FUTURE COLABORATION





Prezado Pesquisador,

Estivemos consultando o Portal Inovação e verificamos sua experiência em temas de nosso interesse para uma possível cooperação visando capacitação. Assim, gostaríamos de verificar a possibilidade de realizarmos uma reunião

Saving in “Favorites” and Making Contact...




Knowledge Systems

• from the curricula and from R&D group data these systems extract information useful to the firm analyze its interaction with S&T community.

Planning and Monitoring

• QualisInteraction SystemIt allows to follow the nature of the cooperation according to several aspects

Administrative Environment

• The communication among experts and firms from Northeast has begun in 27/06/2005. In these 32 days there have been 21 proposals sent by experts to firms and 137 from firms to experts.

• The contacted firms have answered 12% of the proposals while the experts returned 28% of the proposals received from firms.

• The contacted firms have answered in average of 5,9 days after being contacted. The experts tool 3,2 days in average to answer the firms.

• From the 158 proposals sent by firms and experts, 88 did not result in any interaction, 6 resulted in interactions of 2 messages, 3 up to 3 messages and 1 had more than 3 messages interchanged.

• From the experts who sent proposals, 14,3% are doctors, 86% masters in areas from Engineering.




4. How far the current technologies and methodologies can lead a cooperation project such “Portal Inovação”?

Perspectives for 2006




Perspectives for 2006

• Knowledge Systems– Ontology in innovation– Knowledge extraction– Social Networking

• Supporting the Interaction– Communities of practice– Portal Content Management– Interoperability with other

information services– International Cooperation
