PICK-ME launches project website

The PICK-ME project announces the launch of its website http://pick-me.carloalberto.org/index.php
The project aims to bring scientific contributions to the formulation of demand-oriented innovation policies and to identify best practices for national and regional innovation systems.

PICK-ME (Policy Incentives for the Creation of Knowledge: Methods and Evidence) is a consortium of 8 highly reputed institutions funded under the EU’s 7th Framework Program and coordinated by the Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto Centro Superiore di Ricera e Formazione Economico – Finanziaria. The project analyses the role played by demand in the generation and exploitation of technological knowledge, introduction of technological and organizational innovation, and in fostering productivity growth, at a theoretical and especially at an empirical level.

To do this the project will consider the network structures and the connectivity linkages among the different institutional actors (research infrastructure, business community, policymakers) involved in the generation and exploitation of technological knowledge in the firm, sectoral and geographical dimensions in which these processes take place. This will be done in order to give scientific support to demand-oriented innovation policies coupled with knowledge generation policies and to identify best practices for national and regional innovation systems.

Within the project CASE experts are contributing to the overall scientific coordination, and are conducting research under the thematic areas of Innovation and Invention and Technological Change.
