Collaborative knowledge production across space

The creation of new knowledge is a social phenomenon, in which communication networks play a pivotal role by facilitating the flow and combination of ideas. At ANETI, we are excited to understand the spatial aspect of these processes. We are keen to explore how the dynamics of collaboration networks within and across cities help the mixture of different expertise and facilitate innovation.
