Aguidel Analytical Solutions
Making Data Visible
When an artist wants to paint a
mountain, he goes to the valley. When
he wants to paint a valley, he climbs the
mountain. I have always liked that
notion.
You need this perspective to see your
own surroundings.

Past Projects
Evaluation of the ANVAR’s (an innovation finance agency in
France) support program for innovation, the biggest public funding
program for innovation in France: identification of types of
beneficiaries based on a questionnaire survey.
Funded by the European Commission, “Eurolabs” is a database
of public non university research centres from the 15 European
countries. It contains some 770 entries with over 100 items per
institutions (including country, manpower, sectors addressed, domains
of activities and main disciplinary competencies). The comparative
analysis and mapping to date is a first step in a deep and detailed
analysis of mainly unknown components of the emerging European
innovation sector.
INED (National Institute of Demography, France): Aguidel led
the development of an Internet based system for research project
management. This included an analytical layer focused on
collaboration networks, and the thematic evolution of research output.
This approach provided a positioning strategy related to the institute’s
research activities within the larger national and international network.
France Telecom: Aguidel facilitated the strategic development of
management structures based on systematic multi-level computer
assisted analysis of heterogeneous data combining interviews and
textual analysis of management databases.
Another Aguidel project was the mapping of collaborative work
and innovation in biomedicine worldwide: a computer assisted analysis
of antibody reagent workshops.
