Innovation is a concept at the heart of the knowledge society. In a globalized world, it has become the engine of progress and inclusion. That&#8217;s the purpose of the lastest study published by FEMISE and realized with the support of the EIB : &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/PDF\/Femise_T2013_EIB_innovation_fr.pdf\">The Need of Mobilizing Human Capital Towards Innovation in the Mediterranean<\/a>&#8221; (PDF, French only, 7,3 Mo)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Orienting societies towards creativity and innovation is a long-term process. Regardless of the current emergencies, this objective must remain present in current strategies.\u00a0Making innovation a strategic objective in this period of doubt means using a political dialogue based on freedom, initiative, participation, that should\u00a0reduce the current tensions by providing a horizon. According to the authors of this report, this is what the youth, that led the Arab revolutions, is waiting for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The study explores the conditions for the success of policies that promote innovation in the South Mediterranean, in a context of globalized competition and democratic transition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beyond the simple fact of the low success rate of policies implemented prior to the &#8220;Arab Spring &#8220;, it suggests a paradigm shift by making the development of creativity and innovation a core function of society to the benefit of a new social contract that puts emphasis on the youth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to achieve this, the 284 pages study undertakes an organic analysis of innovation and, throughout six chapters, provides a set of recommendations relevant to education and training systems, the nature and priorities of research, business organization and decentralized financing of innovation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The study is available in French only for the time being; it can be downloaded by clicking on the following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/PDF\/Femise_T2013_EIB_innovation_fr.pdf\">link (PDF , French, 284 pages , 7.3 Mb)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0c386e;\">The Need of Mobilizing Human Capital Towards Innovation in the Mediterranean<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: normal; color: #0c386e; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;\">(Currently in French only)<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"font-size: 1.1em; font-weight: normal; color: #0c386e; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;\">Contents:<\/h5>\n<h6 style=\"font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; color: #0c386e; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;\">Introduction<\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; color: #0c386e; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;\"><strong>Chapitre 1.
