FuturICT as a glance: Potential National Networks in Complex Systems

Prof.dr.Carmen CosteaASE & ASA

The world is changing

Changes our attitude and expectations requiring new approaches of life and profit.

Ancient Chinese Science – Feng-Shui - promoted the Profit of Life (as a space harmony with the environment)

These unusual tools have reliable correspondents in the western management practices, life, finances and personal relationships.

Every day life teaches us, a lesson that science has only recently acknowledged, that life is complex.

The need of durable development as fulfilment and harmony, a better life inside a sounder society and environment (as a living entity) where people need to learn, think and consider, the role of the community and the value of being.

People have acted differently thinking benefits and looking for tools of getting their goals

Life on the move

As a consumer: what you get is what you learn to have

As a business owner:what you get is what you understand to finance

Need to rethink both Science and Development of Life under a new approach from Uni-dimensional versus Multi-dimensional

Promote a new way of considering the real meaning of living and analyse it, under the label of “E” Theory (of sound education, effusiveness, social emancipation, elegance of thinking and economic emergence).

A new philosophy of life and action within economies and societies.

Franchising the knowledge (SHAPE THE CHANGE)

This new perspective = Capitalizing the added value by PRO-ACTIVE auto-governance : agility, flexibility, versatility, adaptability

From Complicated to Complex

“Markets .... are now more and more turbulent and complex, and the game rules become less clear or they change to such a speed that adaptability and flexibility begin to be considered by many authors as the only key to managerial success. “

Wilkinson and Young, 2002

Some new opportunities for SME

Knowledge markets – the emergence of non-tangible goods Triggering firms Facilitator firms Mentoring, training, coaching Edutainment

Knowledge management Patenting and licensing Evaluation mechanisms

Education markets – new functions: inducing “disruption” by creating new socio-economic structures needed by “breakthrough professionals”; knowledge dissemination to businesses; generation of clusters, networks, spin-offs; Continuous learning for mentors and parents Science Shop, Science fun, Hands-on Science

New markets

Some new opportunities for SME

Breakthrough professions – create the knowledge stock; inventions necessary for the KBE (researchers, elite professionals, knowledge managers);

• Trans- and interdisciplinary professionals: legal physics, econophysics• Structuring the framework, organization scheme and methodology •Recruitment, formation, and mentoring of professionals•Transfer specialists at the interface with Society (3rd Culture)

Development professions – take over knowledge and inventions produced by the first group and infuse it into production cycle. Generate innovation (hardware and software, nanotech, biotech, new materials); ensure industrial competitiveness.

New professions

INNOVATION and its limits

Prohibitive dimensions of EU Standards for local employment and products

Inappropriate infrastructure and limits in harmonizing it with demands and conditions

transfer with competencies Eco-innovation (soft skills)

Ideas for educational projects:

New types of Partership proving awareness, accountability,

freedom to accept responsibility

Learning to create a better elder generation

Eliminate Social stress

Complex Integration of public and private initiates and projects

Development of a hybrid world is emergent, thrives on MUTATIONS that arise in the GAP between PAST & FUTURE, between the crises in education & culture.

DESIGN EDUCATION focuses on freedom of being sustainable responsible & systems thinking to counter crisis even inside the boom. It must serve the future!!!

Mediating Innovation more jobs, improved lives, better society

FuturICT – a super hub mediator Diversity of reforms Methodology of reforms and norms of correct applications International recognition of local changes Persistence of problems in all countries no matter the development degree, political

regime resulting in complex inequality The inadaptability of all systems FuturICT could become a great solution for retraining – long life education as

secondary education in alternance developed on the basis of educational policies combined with employment policies (national & regional education authorities associated with economic planning or employment policy matters) to bring each side closer to the other interests

The vocational education could be developed close to the handcraft artistic abilities

FUTURICT Vision: develop intuition, imagination and intelligence

Expanding the Inner Self building for ‘presencing’, deep connectedness with nature, finding the “self” and creating generational moments.

Designing the Mind- involves working with simplicity at the right scale, an efficient and frugal use of resources, sound regional economics and social resilience. It is often targets the uniqueness of places and uses play, as a preamble to real life.

• Wellness -this addresses vulnerabilities, targets deprivations, involves being critical and often, in curricular terms this means including the excluded.

• Generating the freedom of being responsible- fundamentally this involves creating conditions for the expression of constructive dissatisfaction or creative discontent.

The IMMEDIATE STEPT: Cross Cultural shift

FROM: “Culture is being destroyed in order to yield entertainment …Those who produce for the mass media ransack the entire range of past and present culture in the hope of finding suitable material …this material, moreover, cannot be offered as it is; it must be altered in order to become entertaining, it must be prepared to be easily consumed.”

TO: “A real cross-cultural attitude demands that the very paradigms, the very categories, the very forms of thinking, and the presuppositions of that other culture become integrated in the very vision I have of my own culture and the other culture. . . .

It is not that there are new things in the panorama; it is that the panorama is a different one.”
