Call for Papers - KIBS and Innovation in Regions in a Globalised Economy

«CALL FOR PAPERS
Third Research Seminar Regional Geographies of KIBS CIEO, University of Algarve, Faro, Portugal
Policy Implications for Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS) and Innovation in Regions in a Globalised Economy
KIBS play important roles in systems of innovation, internationally, nationally and regionally in both urban and rural environments. The overall approach of this Research Network is to contribute to new theoretical explanations for KIBS activity, provide a review of methodological approaches and new evidence, and inform policy making. The main focus of this third Seminar will be multitasking in the rural world: small firms, technological change and sustainability.
The workshop will be targeted at understanding KIBS in rural and other peripheral areas/regions in Europe, with a close up view of the southern Iberian Peninsula. It will include discussion of the role of public procurement in laggard/peripheral and rural areas and the need for policy choices.
[...]
Researchers and practitioners are invited to take part in the seminar. We especially encourage attendance and contributions from PhD students and early career researchers as well as established scholars.
Due to the support of the Regional Studies Association, the Research Centre for Spatial and Organizational Dynamics and the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, there is no fee for attendance at this Seminar.
