SUMMARY:Innovation Moving South: Globelics at Twenty
DESCRIPTION:We wish to inform you that the webinar originally scheduled for Thursday 4th September 2025\, has been postponed. The new date will be communicated to you in due course. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding. \n\nOver the past 20 years\, the Global Network on the Economics of Learning\, Innovation\, and Competency Building Systems (Globelics) has significantly enriched and reshaped the field of innovation studies. On the occasion of its 20th anniversary\, this paper reviews the accomplishments of the Globelics network\, points to limitations of past research\, and speculates on future directions. The network has broadened the scope of the field of innovation studies to include the Global South and explored topics and concepts where the South provides a distinctive view. Globelics scholars have pursued both catch-up and build-up approaches to development; brought actors from the margins into the understanding of innovation; and woven the complexity of sustainability into thinking about the dynamics of innovation. The future research agenda includes analyzing the multiple pathways to development\, developing concepts at the global level\, moving beyond case studies and applying complex modelling to understanding system dynamics. \nSpeakers \n\nErika Kraemer-Mbula\, University of Johannesburg\, Johannesburg\, South Africa\nSusan Cozzens\, Georgia Institute of Technology\, Atlanta\, Georgia\, USA\nMichiko Iizuka\, National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies\, Tokyo\, Japan\nRasmus Lema\, University of Johannesburg\, Johannesburg\, South Africa\nMarina Szapira\, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro\, Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\nAndrew Cummings\, Latin American Faculty in Social Sciences (FLASCO)\, El Salvador\n\n\nHow to register \n\nIf you are interested in attending the webinar\, please register via this link or get in touch with Yvonne Gitu at Y.Gitu@acts-net.org for more details. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email from AfricaLics Zoom account containing information about joining the webinar.

SUMMARY:An Agenda for Research on Innovation and Development: A conversation with Susan Cozzens
DESCRIPTION:Based on the workshops and summary paper prepared for the 20th anniversary of Globelics\, Susan will lead a discussion of key research challenges for the field to address in the coming decades. She will present the main findings from a paper: “Innovation Moving South: Globelics at Twenty\,” co-authored by Erika Kramer-Mbula\, Susan Cozzens\, Michiko Iizuka\, Rasmus Lema\, Marina Shapiro\, and Andrew Cummings. \nKeynote Speaker \n\nProf. Susan Cozzens \nSusan E. Cozzens is Professor Emerita in the School of Public Policy. Prof. Cozzens’s research interest is innovation and inequality\, with a focus on how science\, technology\, and innovation policies affect the intersections between them. Her current projects are on the potential for artificial intelligence to increase or decrease inequalities and on women in leadership in science-intensive U.S. federal agencies. Prof. Cozzens is on the Scientific Board of GLOBELICS\, the global network on the economics of learning\, innovation\, and competence building systems\, as well as its AfricaLics regional chapter\, and Chair of the Advisory Committee of CESTII\, the Centre for Science\, Technology and Innovation Indicators of the Human Sciences Research Council in South Africa. \n\nHow to register \n\nIf you are interested in attending the webinar\, please register via this link or get in touch with Yvonne Gitu at Y.Gitu@acts-net.org for more details. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email from AfricaLics Zoom account containing information about joining the webinar.
