Thanks for enabling this discussion! Because impact can mean different things to different people—or at least the paths will be different—we put ‘purpose’ as a core element in our book and framework. We recommend to define this for yourself, and design your ‘strategy’ around that.

I’d say that the innovation ‘ecosystem’ is becoming the main unit of analysis. And of course, AI will have big influence.

Stay tuned for more information! 🚀

I presented some background and the main framework of the book, which we call the Researcher’s Social Media Compass—comprising the elements Purpose, Presence, Platform, Personality, and Practice—which we hope will help scholars navigate the dynamic world of social media.

It was a great pleasure to present our forthcoming book "Social Media for Research Impact: How scholars can share ideas, build networks, and make a difference" (with Mike Young @mkeyoung.bsky.social) during a seminar at FGV EAEAP @fgvoficial.bsky.social in São Paulo, Brazil.

Also note that Brabant is known for hospitality. So let this be not just an honorary degree, but also an open invitation to keep returning. We still face grand challenges—and Open Innovation, and your voice, are more needed than ever.

• On the side: the red-white flag of our province North Brabant, a region known for warmth, trust, and standing by one another—just like you.

• On the back—besides your name: number 12, symbolizing the additional “twelfth player”—the community. To me, it represents the global Open Innovation community you’ve built.

• On the front: Brainport Eindhoven—a tribute to the ecosystem you helped inspire. And I dare say there would be no “Brainport” without Open Innovation.

But Henry, beyond the theory and recognition, what truly stands out is you—your humility, generosity, and deep sense of community.
Which brings me to this.
This is the latest away jersey of PSV Eindhoven, our local football club.

And your former student, Carlos Moedas, as European Commissioner, launched an entire policy framework based on Open Science, Open Innovation, and Open to the World. It really doesn’t get more impactful than that!

What’s remarkable is how widely your ideas have been adopted. Philips, for example, quite literally had your book in hand when opening up the High Tech Campus—one of the sparks that ignited what we now proudly call the Brainport ecosystem.

You challenged the closed R&D model and introduced a new mindset—embracing collaboration across organizational and disciplinary boundaries. Your thinking transformed the field of innovation management, and its influence extends into fields such as economics, public policy, and engineering.

You are best known as the “Father” of Open Innovation, a term you coined in your seminal book in 2003. While many concepts are born in academia, few actually reshape how the world innovates. Yours did.
bogers.bsky.social
This is a moment to reflect, to celebrate, and above all, to recognize your extraordinary impact—on academia, business, policy, and society.

My speech ("laudatio"):
"Dear Rector Magnificus, dear colleagues, dear guests,
And dear Henry,
It’s a true honor and personal privilege to stand here today as your honorary promotor.

The honorary doctorate award ceremony was for me personally a true highlight. I will put my speech in the comments below, which also explains why there is a PSV jersey with Brainport Eindhoven (@brainporteindhoven.bsky.social) in the picture.
