International Innovation Research<br />
at the ICE Conference<br />
In June <strong>2012</strong> the 18th annual International Conference<br />
on Engineering, Technology and Innovation was held<br />
at MUAS. In addition to three days of sharing the latest<br />
research on innovation and technology management,<br />
the SCE entrepreneurship Center at MUAS announced<br />
a new research partnership.<br />
From 18 to 20 June <strong>2012</strong> MUAS hosted the 18th annual<br />
ICE, the International Conference on Engineering,<br />
Technology and Innovation. The slogan for the threeday<br />
conference was “Innovation Through Collaboration<br />
and Entrepreneurial Partnerships”, at which the latest<br />
research findings in the fields of innovation and technology<br />
management, engineering, entrepreneurship,<br />
and virtual enterprises were presented to a multi-disciplinary<br />
audience and discussed. International networks<br />
and the signing of a partnership between Munich<br />
universities were also on the agenda.<br />
Over 200 leading researchers, practitioners and<br />
decision-makers from around the world attended<br />

the conference, organised jointly by SCE, MUAS and<br />
CeTIM, the Center for Technology and Innovation<br />
Management. “We are very pleased at jointly hosting<br />
this year‘s ICE conference, and that the theme,<br />
“Innovation Through Entrepreneurial Collaboration<br />
and Partnerships” was well-received,” said co-host<br />
and SCE Executive Director Prof. Klaus Sailer. “ICE is a<br />
terrific forum for sharing the latest research findings in<br />
the fields of innovation and technology management.<br />
It also offers international networking opportunities at<br />
the highest level. Because of its design, the conference<br />
represents another step in the process of internationally<br />
anchoring our Munich research network”.<br />
Dieter Reiter, Chief of the City of Munich‘s Bureau of<br />
Commerce and Labour, welcomed guests in the historic<br />
ballroom in the Old City Hall at the official reception<br />
given by the City of Munich. Support for the conference<br />
was also provided by the two major international<br />
technology management associations IEEE and IAMOT,<br />
whose chairmen Luke Maki and Dr. Tarek Khalil greeted<br />
attendees as well.
