Field of work

I work as Associate Professor of Innovation and Regional Development. In my research, I am particularly interested in the roles of universities in innovation-led regional development and how their regional engagement manifest across different geographical contexts. In this line of research, I often work with peripheral regions, focusin on regional sustainability transformations, smart specialization, and skills policy.
