EDUI role
: Innovation through
connections
- EDUI may assist China & Asian Developing countries to build its own
indigenous innovation capacity, building upon and extending advanced
thinking throughout the world. By building its own innovation capacity,
China and its cooperating countries may take the lead, acting as an
¡®innovation hub¡¯ and providing an example for other developing countries
in its region.
EDUI may
draw upon leading world-wide knowledge
and bring this to bear on the challenges faced globally . Working with
China organizations, it will seek to demonstrate how this knowledge may
be applied in new and entirely innovative ways, extending the boundaries
of knowledge. In addition, EDUI will seek to show how such
innovations may be applied in practice, not just in theory, via pilot
and demonstration projects. It is important that such projects do not
only have local benefits, but are translated into government policies
and directives so they may result in momentous change. This is possible
through the power of many small things, accompanied by policy changes to
enable structural reform. How is this ambitious goal possible, given
that EDUI is a new and relatively small organization, and the challenges
are so huge?
As Obama said, 'Yes
we can!' There are many organizations working in the sustainable
development arena. As once heard, ¡° the field is crowded¡±. Rather
than being just another organization and adding to this over-crowding,
overlap and duplication, EDUI can be aware of what others are doing and
how new ideas may emerge adopt by adopting an over arching role, making
connections thru its multiple connections & networking systems.
Thus,
EDUI is beginning to structure a series of discussions on the
following themes:
1. Circular economy and
environmental policy
2. Sustainable built
environment and logistics
3. Sustainable
consumption and production
4. Innovation and
business strategy
5. Market, product and
servicizing
6. Care and humility
7. Venture capital
8. Today's China:
Business ethics and cultural legacy

When
upon project facilitation, a maximum percentage of 3 % of project
budget will be allocated to EDUI to enable us to sustain our services
and expertise deployment, in addition to membership fee levied. |
