The politics of directionality in innovation policy through the lens of policy process frameworks Open
Different interpretations of “directionality” in innovation policy and sustainability transitions literature streams suggest the need for distinguishing between actors “giving direction” contributing to transformative change, and “systemic…

International alliances and technology diffusion: A worldwide analysis of adoption of energy, railway and satellite technologies Open
This study analyzes the role of international alliances in the adoption of new technology at the national level. We look at the worldwide diffusion of six key infrastructure technologies during the past six decades among 161 countries: nuc…

Local peer communities and future academic success of Ph.D. candidates Open
Compared to senior scientists, early-career scientists have largely been neglected in the literature on academic success. This study aims to identify the effects of local peer communities of Ph.D. candidates on their future careers. We arg…

Small wins for grand challenges. A bottom-up governance approach to regional innovation policy Open
Grand societal challenges as a policy target have received increasing attention in regional innovation policy. To date, concrete governance strategies to address such challenges with local solutions are underexplored. We propose a small wi…

Towards a problem-oriented regional industrial policy: possibilities for public intervention in framing, valuation and market creation Open
Recent thinking about regional industrial and innovation policies remains focused on the supply of new knowledge, and on grand challenges and missions, but continues to take problems and demand for granted. In this paper we build on politi…

A genealogical approach to academic success Open
We analyse academic success using a genealogical approach to the careers of over 95,000 scientists in mathematics and associated fields in physics and chemistry. We look at the effect of Ph.D. supervisors (one’s mentors) on the number of P…

The promises and premises of mission-oriented innovation policy—A reflection and ways forward Open
Missions may be regarded as a narrative for challenge-oriented policies, as a rationale for directional policies, and as an instrument for coordinating distributed innovation efforts. While the attention for mission-oriented innovation pol…

Proposal success in Horizon 2020: A study of the influence of consortium characteristics Open
This study draws on evaluation data to investigate the success of collaborative R&D project proposals submitted to Horizon 2020, the European Union’s Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP). Data on project status and evaluati…

A framework for mission-oriented innovation policy: Alternative pathways through the problem–solution space Open
We aim for a better conceptualization of mission-oriented innovation policy (MIP). Our starting point is an analytical decomposition of societal problems and innovative solutions based on three dimensions of wickedness: (1) contestation; (…

Dataset for 'A genealogical approach to academic success' Open
Our genealogical data is drawn from the Mathematics Genealogy Project (MGP), an online database developed as a historicalrecord of scientists with a Ph.D. in mathematics to keep track of mentor-mentee relationships. Each scientist is regis…

Do systemic innovation intermediaries broaden horizons? <i>A proximity perspective on R&D partnership formation</i> Open
As systemic innovation intermediaries (SII) orchestrate interactions between innovative actors, they might alleviate the constraints of proximity effects on R&D partnership formation. We test this for existing and new R&D projects establis…

Centrality of regions in R&D networks: a new measurement approach using the concept of bridging paths Open
Centrality of regions in R&D networks: a new measurement approach using the concept of bridging paths. Regional Studies. This paper introduces a novel measure of regional centrality in the context of research and development (R&D) networks…

Bridging centrality: A new indicator to measure the positioning of actors in RD networks Open
In the recent past, we can observe growing interest in the STI community in the notion of positioning indicators, shifting emphasis to actors in the innovation process and their R&D inter-linkages with other actors. In relation to this, we…

R&D networks and regional knowledge production in Europe. Evidence from a space-time model Open
In this study we estimate space-time impacts of the embeddedness in R&D networks on regional knowledge production using a dynamic spatial panel data model with non-linear effects for 229 European NUTS 2 regions in the period 1998–2010. Emb…
