This project offers a research-led training programme to create a rigorous collaborative research agenda, centred on the multifaceted phenomenon of managing emergent technologies, and to integrate this with an additional focus on advanced capacity building and career development that will benefit early-career researchers. The Network’s collaborative research centres on: 1) investigating the complex nature of managing the development of emerging technologies, through integrating different conceptual perspectives at different levels of analysis and multiple methodological approaches; 2) exploring the development of capabilities for integrating the dispersed knowledge that enables different actors within technology innovation systems to increase their innovativeness and sustain their competitiveness; and 3) capturing the detailed contributions of knowledgeable agents that shape the emerging technology progress through their engagement with the strategic, institutional and social contexts of technological innovation. The network brings together the expertise of leading European research-led business schools, Europe’s biggest contract research organisation and industrial players to shed light on this complex challenge. Its unique inter-institutional mix will facilitate scientific synergy and continuous engagement between knowledge producers to increase scholarly, policy and practice impact. This project will adopt multidisciplinary approaches to bridge the divide between social science theory and understanding the practice of technology and natural sciences. Further details of the projects undertaken by the two Marie Curie PhD fellows in the IRU are as follows:
The emergence of Innovation Networks in the Nanotech sector, Benjamin Schrempf. Modelling the Irish Renewable Energy Innovation Network, Bei Gao.
