Preliminaries • 2nd edition of the Summer School on “Knowledge Dynamics, Industrial Evolution, Economic Development” held 7-13 of July, 2013, Maison du Séminaire, 29 Bd Franck Pilatte, Nice (France) • This year: a CNRS thematic school (n° 1320152, InSHS) !
Aims and scope • At the academic level, specific interest in the following sets of issues: 1. heterogeneity of knowledge (bits of knowledge, more or less combinable), of the sources of change (i.e. individuals, firms, industries, regions, countries), of the interactions between these sources (market-based, network-based, etc.), and of the characteristics of these interactions (frequency, regularity, etc.) 2. variety in innovation (from the more radical to the more incremental), and in regimes of innovation (entrepreneurial mode versus accumulation mode) 3. generation of different paths of growth, with a specific focus on smart, inclusive, and sustainable growth => The summerschool is intended to provide an advanced understanding of these issues, as well as of the link between the issues
Aims and scope • At the policylevel, issues in Europe and overseas • European Council, 2000: EU to become ‘the most competitive and dynamic knowledge based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion by 2020’. • President Barroso, 2009: ‘the Lisbon strategy is the Union’s exit strategy from the current crisis […] So Lisbon post-2010 cannot be about business as usual. We should keep the focus on growth and jobs – but these must be environmentally, socially and economically sustainable growth and jobs’. • Time for social sciences to elaborateproposals for an economicpolicywhereknowledge, innovation and development are considered as key steps for a better society => The summerschoolisaimingatcovering key topics in the field
Aims and scope • Discovering the latest results, especially: • The way in which the properties of knowledge are likely to have an impact on industry evolution and economic performance • The way in which industry evolution may contribute to economic growth and sustainability • Accessing the latest methodologies and protocols of research • Presenting your own work as PhD student or young researcher, and getting comments and recommendations on how to get published • Being updated on what’s happening in social sciences (economics, management, geography, social economics, etc.), but also in other sciences (computer science, biology) as they provide key tools in the treatment of the relationships between knowledge, innovation and development (social network analysis, evolutionary models, agent-based modelling)
Aims and scope • Some of the issues specificallycovered by the speakers are: • economics of science and innovation, agglomeration/dispersion of research and industrialactivities, emergence and persistence of innovation, entrepreneurship, growth of firms, corporategovernance and performance, environment as a driver of innovation • Some of the methodologies and protocols of researchunderstudy are: • Statisticalanalysis of the dynamics of firmscharacteristics and firmslocalization, social network analysis, agent basedmodelling, patent analysis
Structure • General lectures (1h30): speakers will give a general overview of major contributions in the literature, including the more recent developments • Methodological or technical lectures (1h30): speakers will give a focus on a specific methodology or technique that is particularly useful in understanding recent developments in the literature • Research and publication sessions (30 minutes per student): students will present their research (15 minutes) and will get comments and feedbacks from the speakers(15 minutes), including recommendations on how to get published
Lectures (General and Methodological/Technical) • Speakers uploaded their material on the website all over the last weeks • Students could access the website and print the material to prepare the lectures in advance • Students willing to present their work circulated their papers in advance to the discussants
Conclusions and perspectives • We are aiming to provide an original, coherent, and stimulatingeventthisyear • Webelievethat the themes and the structure of the summerschool are promising and correspond to a demandfrom the youngergeneration • Wetake the opportunity of this version 2 to assess the good points, and less good points, to makeitevenbetter in the future • Wewillbestarting to work on the nextyear session immediatelyafter the closing of thisyear’ssummerschool • Your feedbacks are verymuchappreciated! • Book your agenda: 6-12 July, 2014, same place! Thanksverymuch and have a good time here!
