[미국] 물 위원회, Water Collaborative Innovation Platform 출시

물 위원회는 위스콘신 대학교 밀위키 캠퍼스의 담수과학 학과와 협력했다고 밝혔다. 협력과 inno360을 통해 물 혁신에서 밀위키의 세계 경쟁력을 빠르게 확대한다. 최근 진보된 협력적 혁신 기술의 동력을 사용함에 따라 공공 및 민간 분야에서 물과 관련된 협력적인 조사를 향상하고 급격하게 증가할 것이라고 예상한다.

The Water Collaborative Innovation Platform는 웹 기반의 검색으로 세계 물 산업과 학회 연구원이 사용 할 수 있고 물 연구 정보를 얻을 수 있는 혁신적인 관리 및 분석 도구이다.
이것은 학회와 산업, 개발자, 제조사에 접속기를 제공함으로써 혁신 경제와 지식 경제를 합병한다. 플랫폼은 정보 전환의 속도 증가와 자원 데이터 접근을 통해 연구 생산력을 증가 시킬 예정이라고 설명했다.

A partnership has been formed among The Water Council, the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the innovation Exchange, and inno360 to rapidly expand the city of Milwaukee's global presence in water innovation and leadership. By harnessing the power of the most advanced collaborative innovation technologies today, they will together dramatically increase and improve public-private sector water-related collaborative research.

The Water Collaborative Innovation Platform is a web-based search, innovation management and analytics tool that will enable global water industry and academic researchers to conduct advanced mining of water research information. It merges the knowledge economy with the innovation economy by providing an interface for academics, industry, investors, and manufacturers. The platform will access data from the largest landscape of resources and greatly increase the speed of information transfer -- from weeks to hours -- leading to increased research productivity.

"The Water Collaborative Innovation Platform supercharges any web search engine with advanced search algorithms, content categorization and visualization technologies to put Water Council members at a significant advantage when seeking global solutions and global leaders," said Dean Amhaus, president & CEO of The Water Council. "The water challenges that the world is facing are diverse, and addressing these challenges is a daunting task. We believe that organizations such as The Water Council, enabled through this Platform, can pull the best minds from around the world in diverse disciplines to successfully address them."

The Platform will be managed by The Water Council and powered by inno360, which is utilized by over 20 of the world's largest and most innovative global companies to address their most significant innovation challenges and opportunities. Incorporating the best practices of its founders and augmented by its initial collaborators -- Procter & Gamble (P&G), General Mills and the U.S. Air Force -- inno360's innovation management technology will enable The Water Council's members to rapidly expand their reach and collaborative research with leading public and private organizations, foundations and academics around the globe. The Platform will be the first inno360 innovation exchange to access Elsevier's Research Intelligence platform of extensive water-related content and unique analytics.

"The Water Collaborative Innovation Platform will provide our researchers with a unique tool that will enable them to obtain vital research and connect with the most knowledgeable people and organizations in the world in a fraction of time," said David EJ Garman, dean of School of Freshwater Sciences, UW-Milwaukee, and past president and former chairman of the International Water Association. "Not only will we be able to get information, but the Platform will encourage Milwaukee researchers, both in academia and industry, to get our knowledge and information out across the world."

Michael J Turillo Jr., chairman and cofounder of inno360, added, "Participating within the platform's ecosystem will provide the Council's members and the School's faculty and graduate students with the advantage of accessing billions of pieces of relevant content for many years into the future." In particular, Turillo pointed to the unparalleled water-related content and analytics of Elsevier as well as the opportunity to connect and collaborate with tens of thousands of subject matter experts globally.
