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 (marketbased, 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’.
• Time for social sciences to elaborate proposals for an economic policy
where knowledge, innovation and development are considered as key
steps for a better society
=> 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, corporate governance and
performance, 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 (15 minutes) and will get comments and feedbacks
from the speakers(15 minutes), including recommendations on how to get
published

Conclusions and perspectives
• We are aiming to provide an original, coherent, and stimulating event this
year
• We believe that the themes and the structure of the summerschool are
promising and correspond to a demand from the younger generation
• We take the opportunity of this version 2 to assess the good points, and
less good points, to make it even better in the future
• We will be starting to work on the next year session immediately after the
closing of this year’s summerschool
• Your feedbacks are very much appreciated!
• Book your agenda: 6-12 July, 2014, same place!
Thanks very much and have a good time here!
