Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Finding contextual solutions to both global and local challenges has become a major function of regional innovation policies, underpinned by conceptual shifts towards mission-oriented and challenge-oriented regional innovation policies and third-frame innovation policies. Hence, challenges such as ensuring environmental sustainability and combating climate change have become overarching objectives of regional innovation policies designed to support the reorientation or transformation of regional innovation systems. Moreover, concerns for social and environmental justice have become increasingly salient in regional policies. All these developments require a refocusing of regional policy instruments as well their integration into multi-scalar policy mixes which in turn calls for multi-agent and multi-level alignment in policy design and implementation.
The course analyzes conceptual approaches to regional innovation policies in detail and puts a particular focus on their integration with multi-scalar policy mixes. Students will familiarize themselves with a wide range of conceptual literature on policy approaches and mixes, and discuss them in class. Regular mandatory reading assignments serve as preparation for these discussions.
