How does Open Innovation (OI) change the innovation behavior of companies and what is the impact of OI on universities, research institutions and public funding of innovation in Germany? This thesis aims to define and explain the main features of OI, outline advantages and disadvantages, present available statistics and discuss consequences for the national innovation system and public research. Document analysis and internet research is used to examine how OI is taken into account at universities, research institutions and in innovation funding. Conclusions are verified with expert interviews. Results show that OI is increasingly common in companies, but universities, research institutions, academic organizations and science management have hardly dealt with OI as a strategic mission. Public research and innovation funding currently provide little support for opening innovation processes in companies, universities and research institutions. The thesis offers recommendations for universities, research institutions and innovation funding and identifies areas for further research.

Europes population is ageing and decreasing. Demographic change is making not only regional and territorial adaptation necessary, but also new region-specific spatial planning and regional development. This publication focusses on demographic change and its implications for the economy and social systems in the Alpine areas, which differ widely from their surrounding metropolitan areas. It provides a specific regional in-depth study in order to help establish suitable adaptation and development programs. It covers various aspects including demographic analysis, onsite participatory strategies and implementation processes, as well as generalized adaptation strategies. Reports on pilot actions in various regions across the Alps demonstrate how demographic change can be approached from a practitioners perspective. The volume is based on the results of the project DEMOCHANGE, which was co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund in the frame of the European Territorial Cooperation Alpine Space" program
