KID 2015Nice, July 5-11

Preliminaries

• KID 2015: 4th edition of the Summer School “Knowledge Dynamics, Industrial Evolution, Economic Development”

• CNRS thematic school

• KID is an international event, with about 20 institutions, 15 countries each year

• Speakers of past editions: Paula Stephan, Maryann Feldman, Reinhilde Veugelers, Mary O’Sulllivan, Paolo Saviotti, Cristiano Antonelli, Francesco Lissoni, Marco Vivarelli, Alex Coad, Aldo Geuna, Pablo d’Este, Andreas Pyka, Werner Hoelzl, Andreas Reinstaller, Michael Dietrich, Francesco Crespi, Albert Jolink, Murat Yildizoglu, Massimiliano Mazzanti, Michael Fritsch

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 policy level, 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’.

• EU 2030: job creation!

=> The summerschool is aiming at covering 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 specifically covered by the speakers are:- economics of science and innovation, agglomeration/dispersion of

research and industrial activities, emergence and persistence of innovation, entrepreneurship, growth of firms, environment as a driver of innovation

• Some of the methodologies and protocols of research under study are:- Statistical analysis of the dynamics of firms characteristics and firms

localization, social network analysis, agent based modelling, 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 and will get comments and feedbacks from the speakers, including recommendations on how to get published
