HIBAR Partnerships for Discovery and Innovation
Ben Shneiderman
Academic, business, and government leaders are developing fresh research strategies to promote innovation and discovery. Their shared goal, building off strong historical precedents, is to achieve the twin-win of breakthrough research and societal benefits. Fundamental research carefully linked to real-world problem contexts appears to produce stronger theories and more societally valuable results. The term Highly Integrative Basic and Responsive (HIBAR) Research conveys these ambitious aspirations.
Please join GUIRR for a half-day workshop to consider strategies to more reliably produce HIBAR research through partnerships with business and government (cities, counties, state, federal), as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and policy changes to campus hiring/tenure/promotion rules so as to support teamwork and problem orientation that includes off-campus partnerships and on-campus collaborations. The workshop will discuss:
- Defining HIBAR and why it is important
- Using the HIBAR Assessment Tool to promote campus cultural change
- Building government, university, and industry partnerships
The event is free and open to the public. Please register to attend.
Ben writes, "This workshop, which builds on the May 4 discussion we had on campus, extends the ideas in my book The New ABCs of Research, by describing how to reshape research partnerships so as to produce the twin-wins of published papers with novel theories AND validated solutions that are ready for dissemination. I hope you’ll join us on June 27 Tuesday afternoon!"
