Transcription

1 CHALLENGES TO DEVELOP LONG-TERM UNIVERSITY S RESEARCH STRATEGY IN THE RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD: HOW PURE CAN HELP Yulia Falkovich, Tomsk Polytechnic University Research Intelligence and Publications Department, Head October 2018

2 AIM TO START A DISCUSSION ON THE BEST WAYS TO BUILD UP A UNIVERSITY S RESEARCH STRATEGY IN THE RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD 2

3 OUTLINE: Strategic context Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) at a glance Strategy Development Challenges PURE as a tool to address strategic challenges Pure Data to support decision making 3

4 Moscow Russian Federation Tomsk Vladivostok

5 Key Milestones of TPU Added to the List of the Most Valuable Objects of Russian Cultural Heritage Awarded National Research University status Founded by the Decree of the Russian Emperor Nicholas the II Awarded RF Governmental Prize in the field of quality Entered «5-100» Initiative funded by the Russian Ministry of Education 5

6 Key Milestones of TPU Entered LHbC, COMPASS CERN Entered ATLAS, CMS CERN

7 TPU FACTS AND FIGURES 7,2 17,3 28% Papers per faculty (Scopus) Citations per faculty (Scopus) International collaboration RESEARCH OUTPUT EDUCATION International students Faculty members Schools 10 26% 1550 Undergraduate and Graduate students

8 KEY RESEARCH FIELDS Biotechnologies and medical engineering Nondestructive testing High energy Physics Nuclear engineering Information technologies and Big Data Surface modification, new materials Water treatment Power engineering and energy efficiency Mechanical engineering International Partners: Universities in 30 countries worldwide: University of Southampton Aalborg University École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Jilin University, China e.t.c. 8

9 STEPS TPU MADE TO GET CURRENT POSITION IN RESEARCH 1 Built up an extensive research infrastructure by raising additional funds Expanded international collaborations by working in Mega Science projects Provided financial Incentives for Research productivity Implemented Open Access & Visibility Enhancement Policy 9

10 STRATEGIC CONTEXT 14

11 Global trends % of successful research projects tend to be multidisciplinary The global research agenda has switched towards more interdisciplinary research Research priorities are changing every year, esp. in computer & life sciences The world is getting totally degitalised & blockchained The amounts of data on research productivity is growing extremely fast The number of research intelligence tools are growing 22

12 QUESTIONS Is our university s research more applied or fundamental? And if it s both, where we should head for? What should we do to be more interdisciplinary & multidisciplinary? How to expand collaboration network? Is universities research cutting-edge? What should research management do to keep up the pace of the global research? 22

13 THERE IS A NEED TO DIVERSIFY THE UNIVERSITY S RESEARCH PORTFOLIO 14

14 KEY QUESTION HOW TO DIVERSIFY UNIVERSITY RESEARCH PORTFOLIO? 1. Demand for Innovation from Enterprises 2. Create new research projects that can fit the market 3. Create new markets by having a deeper insight into global trends 21

15 NATIONAL TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE (AGENCY OF STRATEGIC INITIATIVES) ENERGYNET distributed power from personal power to smart grid and smart city HEALTHNET personal medicine and health care AUTONET distributed network of unmanned management of road vehicles FOODNET personal production and food & water delivery AERONET distributed systems of unmanned aerial vehicles FINNET decentralized financial systems and currencies SAFEYNET new personal security systems MARINET distributed systems of unmanned maritime transport NEURONET distributed artificial components of consciousness and psycho 15

16 STRATEGIC CHALLENGES What to do if there is a lack of demand for innovations from Russian large corporations? How to do a better foresight for research trends? How often? Should we stitch to more fundamental issues in research? How to be more visible and expand collaborations if the University is located far from metropolitan cities? What research data are the most important for the foresight? What are the tools that can be helful to predict the future of the research? 23

17 HOW PURE CAN HELP 14

18 HOW PURE CAN HELP STUDENTS, ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH STAFF To find partners in other universities and organizations across Russia and worldwide 02 To find research mentors for scholarly projects To enhance visibility of research output 03 To track the activities of colleagues 10

19 DETAILED VIEW ON GEOGRAPHY OF VISITS (JAN 1 - October 18) 2971 cities 150 countries 13

20 HOW PURE CAN HELP UNIVERSITY RESEARCH MANAGEMENT AND UNIVERSITY MEDIA To be aware of the recent publications and research projects To know the stars and staff that contributes to university research every day To create any kind of reports connected with research productivity at any time 03 11

21 HOW PURE CAN HELP SciVal vs PURE Only Scopus Data Only separated pieces of landscape can be visualized More comprehensive set of data from different sources Totally Visualized research landscape You need to create groups and units manually Organization and group structure has already been created Collaborations can be regarded either for the whole University or individuals only You can track threads and connections between every researcher 12

22 The university needs deeper insight into research landscape 24

23 HOW PURE CAN HELP ALGORITHM TO BUILD UP A PROJECT & CREATE NEW RESEARCH IDEAS New Market Key Words Search for relevant publications & projects based on fingerprints Build up an authors network from different departments Create projects Meet with people to find challenges & possibilities to work together 16
