Globelics and the Globelics Academy
Globelics is a global network of scholars
working on innovation system-research (see also www.globelics.org).
One major academic aim of the Globelics network is to enrich
and enhance the quality of innovation research by applying some
of its fundamental concepts such as ‘innovation systems’, ‘competence
building’ and ‘interactive learning’ to issues at the core of
economic development. It is well known that applying a theoretical
framework outside the arena where it was first developed may
bring fundamental new theoretical insights. The first Globelics
conference was held in Rio de Janeiro, November 2003 (www.ie.ufrj.br/globelics/).
The Globelics Academy will bring together leading scholars
in the Globelics network with the major aim of training PhD-students
from less developed countries. One result will be to get them
better connected to high quality research centres in different
parts of the world.
A second academic aim is to stimulate interactive learning between
European scholars and scholars from the South and the East (including
Eastern Europe). There are already quite a number of individual
scholars as well as research groups active in the field of innovation
research in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe.
The Globelics Academy, as well as the formation of the GLOBELICS-network,
gives Ph.D.-students in the less developed countries, more direct
access to the most recent research in the field of innovation.
The Globelics Academy is organized under the auspice of the
Interim Scientific Board of Globelics. The Board includes the
following scholars:
- Bengt Åke Lundvall, Prof., Department
of Business Studies, Aalborg University, Denmark
