Abstract

The course explores conceptual issues and practical challenges of regional development based on smart specialization. It discusses global benchmarks, highlights most recent policy initiatives with references to the key theoretical basics of smart specialization. The course prepares students for efficient STI management in both private and public sectors, and blends theory and practice by working on a wide range of cases. The combination of lectures and self-studies enable students to gain insight into smart specialization and entrepreneurial discovery process, understand problems and find policy solutions. Students are expected to present the results of their research projects at seminars with invited experts.
