DESCRIPTION:Prof. Richard Gold\, McGill University\n"A discussion of the c
 urrent innovation crisis "\n\nAbstract :\nThe talk will cover two topics. 
 First\, a discussion of the (mostly economic and social science) literatur
 e explaining the current innovation crisis. I would highlight three factor
 s that call for a change in how we organize research innovation: 1) increa
 sing (and unsustainable) costs of research and innovation\; 2) decreasing 
 research productivity\; and 3) narrowing of research investigations so as 
 to be less innovative. This is a result of many trends\, but a primary one
  is our organization of science in silos surrounded by intellectual proper
 ty. While intellectual property does provide incentives\, it also creates 
 barriers. We have reached a point at which the barriers have become more s
 ignificant than the incentives. Open science provides one alternative mode
 l – there are others – that can help address these problems.\n\nSecond
 \, a presentation of a model of innovation based on the work of Matthew C
 lancy. We have developed a computer model that\, so far\, predicts about 8
 % of patent applications each year. We hope to improve it and to use it to
  test out the effects of changing parameters to reflect open science.\n
