Novel Methodologies in Regional Innovation Policies

The RSA Research Network on Smart Policies for Regional Innovation, Sustainability and Transitions (SPRINT) coordinated by Dima Yankova is glad to announce its first online event: “Introduction to novel methodologies in regional innovation policies”. This workshop is organised in collaboration with researchers from the United Nations’ World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC). Leading researchers in the field of innovation policies from both institutions will deliver an overview of the cutting-edge methods that such organisations are currently using to provide evidence-based regional innovation policies to their respective Member States.

The event particularly welcomes early career researchers, who will benefit the most from a discussion on the research methods that are currently being used in leading international organisation in the field of regional innovation policies. The confirmed speakers include Julio Raffo (Head of the Innovation Economy Section at the Department of Economics and Statistics at WIPO), Federico Moscatelli (Research Fellow at the Innovation Economy Section at the Department of Economics and Statistics at WIPO) and Dario Diodato (Economist at the European Commission’s JRC). The event will last for 90 minutes (10 minutes introduction, 60 minutes presentation from the speakers and 20 minutes Q&A).
