07: Radical Innovations: More Courage to Take Risks

in deutscher SpracheFor quite some time people in Austria have been discussing to take more risks with the promotion of applied research. Steve Jobs has already stated that those who want to bring the new into the world have to stay “hungry and daring”. Promotional programmes – geared to reliability and under the pressure of scarce resources – tend to foster projects that promise to be successful. How do national and international stakeholders deal with the area of friction between security and daring creative destruction? Which models for a fair trade-off between risks and rewards exist in the risky cooperation of science and economy?
