Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Finding contextual solutions to both global and local challenges has become a major function of regional innovation policies, underpinned by conceptual shifts towards mission-oriented and challenge-oriented regional innovation policies and third-frame innovation policies. Hence, challenges such as ensuring environmental sustainability and combating climate change have become overarching objectives of regional innovation policies designed to support the reorientation or transformation of regional innovation systems. These developments require a refocusing of regional policy instruments as well their integration into multi-scalar policy mixes which in turn calls for multi-agent and multi-level alignment in policy design and implementation.
The course introduces selected approaches to regional innovation policies and puts a particular focus on their integration with multi-scalar policy mixes.
Students will familiarize themselves with conceptual literature related to the implementation of policy mixes and discuss it in class.

Assessment and permitted materials

1. Short presentation of conceptual literature (group work);
2. Final presentation (critique of an empirical policy example) (group work);
3. Final paper (comprehensive critique of an empirical policy example) (group work).

To pass the course, students need to pass each assignment.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

1. Short presentation of conceptual literature (group work) (25%);
2. Final presentation (critique of an empirical policy example) (group work) (25%);
3. Final paper (comprehensive critique of an empirical policy example) (group work) (30%);
4. Active participation during class (20%).

Attendance in class is mandatory. Absence during a maximum of two units will be accepted.

Examination topics

Students assignments will be assessed in terms of critical reflection and application of lessons learned according to scientific standards. These lessons learned include conceptual approaches on innovation policy and problem-centered analysis. The lecturer will be available to answer students’ methodological questions.

Reading list

Reading assignments will be distributed among students after registration.
