Sustainability of research-based ecosystem (original) (raw)
“TOPICAL ISSUES OF THERMOPHYSICS, ENERGETICS AND HYDROGASDYNAMICS IN THE ARCTIC CONDITIONS”: Dedicated to the 85th Birthday Anniversary of Professor E. A. Bondarev
The aim of the paper is to study sustainability of the research-based entrepreneurial ecosystem BioMed-Varna. The BioMed-Varna is focused on interdisciplinary research in Biomedical Image Analysis, Computational Life Sciences, and Neuroscience. Its main activities include multidisciplinary scientific research, educational projects, development of STEM practices and events/cases for educational institutions, promotion of innovation and entrepreneurial culture, and support for its members' scientific advancement. This paper investigates the development and performs a sustainability appraisal of the research-based entrepreneurial ecosystem using real-world data. The analysis applied by Social network analysis (SNA), reveals the participants' roles, activities and relationships. Using Key Point Indicators (KPIs) and networkbased models, this research can support decisions about necessary changes in the ecosystem. Results can be implemented for running evaluation as well as for predictive sustainability assessment. The methodology can be transferred for further research on other regional ecosystems. Ecosystems' Understanding Review Biologically, an ecosystem is a community or a group of living organisms that live and interact with each other in a specific environment. An ecosystem is a basic unit of the field of the scientific study of nature. According to this, an ecosystem is a physically defined environment, made up of two inseparable components:
