1 THE AIM OF THE GLOBELICS ACADEMY

The aim of the Globelics Academy Ph.D. School is to support the training of Ph.D. students who utilize the innovation systems approach in context of emerging or developing economies in their dissertations.

 

The Academy brings together frontier researchers in innovation with Ph.D. students from developing countries in order to inspire and qualify their work as well as to help them to join high quality research networks in their field of research.

 

The Globelics Academy aims at improving students’ ability to undertake theoretically informed and policy-relevant empirical work on issues related with innovation in firms and societies, and its relationship with economic development.

 

The Globelics Academy originates from and is connected to the world-wide research network Globelics (www.globelics.org) bringing together scholars working on national systems of innovation.
