The Mälardalen University Visiting Professorship in Systemic Innovation: A Report to the Swedish Knowledge Foundation

Midgley, Gerald

Abstract

Executive Summary:
Over a period of a year (1.4.16 to 31.3.17), the Swedish Knowledge Foundation funded a Visiting Professorship in Systemic Innovation based at Mälardalen University (MDH), Eskilstuna, Sweden. The position was taken by Gerald Midgley, who maintained his employment at the University of Hull (UK) while working for 60% of the time with MDH. Five visits were made to Sweden across the year, and some of the work (especially the writing of academic papers) was also undertaken in Hull.
Twenty academic papers (published, in press or submitted to journals) were co-authored by Gerald Midgley with colleagues at MDH and people from other institutions internationally. Measured in purely quantitative terms, this was a very productive Visiting Professorship. However, the more meaningful test of the significance of the research is the nature of its central ideas and the interest shown in them by both industry and academia. [continues]
