Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

PROBLEM ADDRESSED
UNCERTAINTY and NEWNESS define the scope of LNETN. UNCERTAINTY defined as any lack of sure knowledge about the course of past, present, future, or hypothetical events. NEWNESS defined as new ventures, business ideas, products, technology, industry or sector, policy, forms of organizing, categories, and organization practices. The problem LNETN addresses is defined by the PARADOX OF NEWNESS under uncertainty in various contexts. On one side, newness under uncertainty has a high potential for HIGH INNOVATIVE POWER. On the other, newness has a high potential for a NEGATIVE SOCIAL IMPACT.

IMPORTANCE FOR SOCIETY
Extant challenges in conveying and effecting innovation, change and coherence in policy development in the EU and globally support the assertion that legitimation of newness is under-researched and misinterpreted. In our society of rapid change, seeking to cope with complex, large scale new challenges to economic, social and political development, the urgent need for new legitimation perspectives, theories, approaches and methods to address how best to interpret and respond to newness, committing to and ensuring a positive social impact is still there.

OVERALL OBJECTIVE
To address how to best interpret and respond to newness.

MAIN OBJECTIVES
To establish a unique doctoral training and research European and International Training Network in an intense learning environment for the training of 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) with three core training features: (1) theory building; (2) quadruple-i (inter-disciplinary, inter-sectoral, inter-technology and international) research and training; and (3) high level transferable and subject specific skills for future leaders;
To form a generation of entrepreneurial researchers/practitioners committed to and capable of exploiting and communicating synergies between different perspectives of newness, legitimacy and theory building to optimize innovation and contribute to European economic, social and political growth;
To produce 15 innovative, legitimation of newness and theory building research projects (doctoral theses) and 15 White Papers (policy papers), mentored by non-academic partners adopting Industrial Doctorate approach, addressing contemporary real world challenges involving non-academic partners, to develop a community of highly skilled, innovative, impact focused legitimation of newness and theory building research scientists in Europe, bridging practice and theory.

RESEARCH THEMES
Legitimation of (1) new institutions and policies; (2) new industries and new ventures; (3) new organizing forms and new practices; (4) newness in modern and traditional contexts.
