Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Many regions across the world face the challenge to reorient their regional innovation policies and to move beyond traditional approaches such as cluster policies and innovation system policies. In the face of grand societal dynamics and the ecological and social problems resulting from them (climate change, global financial and economic crises, ageing of society, pandemics, etc.) mission-oriented and transformative innovation policies are gaining in importance. These approaches promise to provide adequate impulses for fostering innovation-based structural changes and transformation processes towards sustainability and inclusive regional development. The course will deal with the conceptual foundations of the new generation of regional innovation policies and their application in regional contexts.The course is a literature seminar. The literature will be provided by the lecturer. However, the students are supposed to conduct own searches on their specific topics.
