9th REGIONAL INNOVATION

POLICIES CONFERENCE

Welcome to the University of Stavanger

Stavanger is the regional capital of Rogaland county in south-western Norway.

The urban area has a population of around 320,000. Stavanger is the oil and

energy capital of Norway and has an innovative and dynamic economy. It has

been the most rapidly growing region of Norway in recent years, as reflected in

growing house prices and population levels. Stavanger was European Capital of

Culture in 2008 and has invested heavily in arts and leisure activities, including

the construction of a new NOK 1.3 billion Concert Hall, which opened in 2012.

The University of Stavanger was established in 2004. It currently has around

9600 students and 1300 faculty, administration and service staff, organized in

three faculties (Social Sciences, Arts and Education, and Science and

Technology) and 14 schools departments. It hosts two National Research

Centres and a Museum of Archaeology. Many of the University’s external

research activities are organized in cooperation with its research institute - the

International Research Institute of Stavanger (IRIS).

UiS Business School consists of about 75 faculty members and staff, 700

undergraduate and 250 graduate students, 100 Executive MBA students and 17

PhD candidates. UiS Business School offers Bachelor Programmes in Business

Administration, Accounting and Auditing, and Law, and Master’s Programmes in

Business Administration and Executive MBA. The school’s graduates are highly

sought after in the labour market. The Centre for Innovation Research and the

Centre for Entrepreneurship are also located at UiS Business School.

The Centre for Innovation Research was established as a joint centre by the

University of Stavanger and IRIS in 2009. The establishment was made possible

after a generous donation by the Stavanger-based Gjedebo family. The Centre

conducts research into various aspects of the innovation process, including

regional innovation, innovation systems, econometric studies, entrepreneurship

and innovation in public sector organizations. Currently, 14 permanent staff at

UiS and IRIS, 8 PhD students and 5 visiting professors are associated with the

Centre.

Dear conference delegates

It is a great pleasure for me to welcome all of you to the University of Stavanger.

As rector, I am proud that we are hosting this important and interesting confer-

ence. It is an honour to facilitate the 9th Regional Innovation Policy Conference

2014 and the theme of RIP 2014 goes to the heart of our ambitions.

The University of Stavanger has a vision which highlights creativity and innovation.

Innovation is, quite simply, to create new and better solutions which are then put

into practice. This applies not only to research and creating new businesses and

products, but also to our teaching methods.

The University of Stavanger, which this year celebrates its 10th anniversary, is

located in a region that always has been noted for being innovative and with a

special spirit of entreprenurship. I hope you find both the answers to and more

questions about the important aspects of regional innovation while you are here,

and wish you a pleasant and interesting stay in Stavanger.

Marit Boyesen, rector

SESSION GUIDELINES

Session format

Sessions consist of three to four papers. Each presenter is given 15 minutes to present their paper. Once all

papers have been presented, the discussant is given 10 minutes to comment on all the papers and summarize

key findings and insights across the papers. The remainder of the session is devoted to questions and

interventions from the audience and responses from the presenters.

The chair is responsible for making sure all presenters and the discussants keep within their allotted time, and

for moderating the Q&A session.

Each room contains three cue cards for use by the session chair to alert presenters of their remaining time: A

five minute cue card, a two minute cue card, and a STOP cue card. The cue cards are shown at the relevant

times during the presentation. When the STOP card is shown, the time is up and the presenter should finish

their presentation.

Audio-visual equipment

Each room is equipped with a computer running Microsoft Windows and a projector. Room H-125 is equipped

with a smartboard, whereas the other rooms feature standard video projectors. Please bring your presentation

on a USB memory stick and show up 5 minutes before the start of your session to upload the presentation to

the computer.

If you experience any problems with the computer equipment, please contact IT HelpDesk on
