The ISI programme, Innovation-Science-Industries, brings together the work carried out at BSE (formerly GREThA) on the themes of the economy of innovation, the economy of science and industrial dynamics. It brings together 20 researchers and tenured and emeritus teacher-researchers.
The team’s work focuses on the factors that explain creative dynamics from the early stages of research to their implementation in firms and industries. The team is particularly interested in the mechanisms of knowledge creation in universities, in the diffusion of knowledge at the international level through the mechanisms of migration of highly qualified people, in the transformations of productive systems in the face of environmental and/or digital challenges and in the impact of technological and organisational changes on firms and industrial architectures.
Our work combines theoretical and applied research in different fields of economic analysis of innovation and relies on original databases that allow us to mobilise a variety of methods: econometric techniques, agent-based simulations, experimental economics, sectoral or monographic studies or textual analysis techniques.
The team is particularly connected to the VIA INNO valorisation platform dedicated to the development of technological intelligence methods for companies, universities and EPST as well as local authorities.
