Course content
The PhD course will focus upon characteristics of industrial development beyond core regions and policy adapted to situations in such regions. The theme is substantiated by the fact that much theorising of regional industrial development is developed based on characteristics in well-developed core regions. As less populated regions and peripheral regions have quite different characteristics from core regions, they may benefit from other types of industrial and innovation policy. This fact points to a need for theoretical reflections and empirical investigations of industrial development and policy initiatives in regions beyond the typical core regions. The PhD course will also pay attention to conceptual challenges related to the development of a green economy.
Learning outcome
By participating in this course the candidate will gain knowledge on core and recent theories, concepts and debates on entrepreneurship and innovation in a regional context.
The course aims to provide the participants with tools to think, discuss, and write theoretically about entrepreneurship and regional innovations and positioning themselves in relation to recent discussions through a paper.
