Abstract

VICENTE, Paulo Nuno. iNova Media Lab: from a “future shock” to an innovation digital ecosystem. Media & Jornalismo [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.28, pp.69-75. ISSN 1645-5681.  https://doi.org/10.14195/2183-5462_28_4.

Following signs of a "future shock" in media and journalism higher education in Portugal, this article identifies the problem of a “broken middle” between the classroom, research units, local communities and the industry. As a place and as a culture, the experimental laboratory, here represented by iNOVA Media Lab, is portrayed as a “trading zone” operating “boundary objects”. It is proposed that this hybrid organizational type is thus geared to translation practices. A renewed social role is assigned to the University: to embody a trusted intermediary.

Keywords : Entrepreneurship; innovation; experimental lab; digital media; translation.
