Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
The performance assessment consists of a presentation, seminar paper and your contributions to the discussion.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The minimum requirement is an approx. 20-minute presentation on a scientific paper that fits the content of the course in German or English (article will be given), a critical written review of one of the chapters of the 'Handbook of Innovation Systems and Developing Countries - Building Domestic Capabilities in a Global Setting' in an appealing language form (German or English) and contributions to the discussion, for which attendance at the course is required.
Examination topics
A selection from the literature, which is still to be agreed in detail - depending on the number of participants and their interests. In any case, the following material seems to be a priority:

1) understand the contribution and role of science, technology and innovation for economic growth and development based on a critical examination of basic theories;
2) critically reflect on the unequal global distribution of research and technological development, its conditions of emergence and implementation as well as approaches to overcome existing R&D and innovation disparities, illustrated by so-called 'catching-up' examples; and
3) get to know and critically discuss the objectives and instruments of R&D policy as well as the discussion about the significance and role of research, technology development and innovation for a resilient and sustainable socio-economic development and transformation.The course content includes:
- Presentation of the relationship between science, research, technology development, innovation and economic growth.
- Discussion of the role and contribution of science, research and technology for societal and economic change (incl. the current transformation discourse)
- Explain the relationship between the innovation economy and development and development policy (incl. the importance of absorptive capacity and the discussion of 'brain drain' and 'brain circulation'; technological and economic development paths and development disruptions; 'catching-up')
- Rationale, governance and institutionalisation of state research and technology policy (incl. market failures and state failures as well as global challenges) and instruments of modern research and technology policy
- Description and discussion of the internationalisation of academic and entrepreneurial R&D (including the example of Covid-19 research).Lecture by the course instructor, reading and processing of specialised literature (especially journal articles) by the students, handling of work assignments and discussion as well as presentations by the students.
