Description of activity
I´m a scholar of regional collaboration and smart specialisation, who has followed its evolution and this has led me from innovation policy studies towards sustainability questions. I´m interested to learn more about the interplay between geographic elements and economic opportunities and how this could be made in a more sustainable manner. Even though geopolitics do happen and megatrends come and go, the land remains and I´m keen to explore what does this mean in different contexts.
