Understanding innovation
• The successful exploitation of new ideas• Innovative results are those which represent some
new and distinctive features, adding value in relation to existing solutions
• Innovative processes have the objective of answering the needs of new target groups and users
• The aim of the innovation transfer process is the adaptation and/or further development of new ideas and results in view of their integration into public and/or private systems, at any level
• Beyond all possible definitions, innovation is an attitude
European Commission DG Education and Culture
The role of education and training in innovation systems
• Innovation research identify E&T systems as consistent factors of successful innovation systems and policies
• A distinctive feature of countries sustaining competitive and innovative firms is E&T systems providing a flow of people with the requisite knowledge, attitude and skills
• E&T systems have core societal roles for building successful innovation systems
European Commission DG Education and Culture
The societal roles of education and training systems in innovation
Education and training systems have three fundamental roles for innovation:
• Teaching and valuing innovation• Spotting and nurturing innovative talent• Spreading a culture of innovation
European Commission DG Education and Culture
ICT as an innovation enabler
• ICT have a potential for inducing change, they provide a reason and a time for change
• The basics are all in place – it is time to move ahead, to shift ICT from a goal to an engine
• ICT for collaborative learning and teaching, for connecting learning communities
• ICT for creativity, for designing new contents, methods, tools and spaces for learning
• ICT for supporting institutional innovation in education
European Commission DG Education and Culture
Lifelong learning as innovation
• Lifelong learning requires re-thinking teaching and learning, considering new learning demands, contents, tools, and approaches
• Lifelong learning embodies and amplifies core educational tensions: quantity vs quality, structured teaching vs self-directed learning, established knowledge vs “contrary” thinking
• The lifelong learning paradigm is probably the most innovative concept, calling for a true transformation of education systems
• Innovation can be risky and uncomfortable – but it is the only way ahead
