Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course examines the spatial aspects of science and innovation emergence, dissemination and decline. It focuses on factors which have a significant impact on the development of innovations at a city and regional levels. The course covers theoretical issues (e.g. regional innovation systems) and cases of practical implementation of innovation policies at regions around the world. Among various innovation policy measures it will be pointed out smart specialization, cluster policies, urban experimentation including revitalization via fostering creative industries in special locations. Besides lectures a home task is planned for which a student should select a region or a city for the further analysis during the whole course so the databases, instruments and policies described at lectures then applied by the students and presented at classes.
Learning Objectives
- Forging the key generation of knowledgeable, pro-innovation managers in private and public sectors, with a focus on regional level;
- Creating informed judgment for multi-level policy decisions to foster an innovative economy and finance, innovative ecosystems oriented toward investment in high technology;
- Setting standards for monitoring multi-level policies and their outcomes in support of innovation, science and technology, with a focus on regional level.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Setting standards for monitoring regional policies and their outcomes in support of innovation, science and technology
- -Forging this key generation of knowledgeable, pro-innovation regional officials;
- Creating informed judgment for policy decisions to foster an innovative economy and finance, on the regional level, innovative ecosystems oriented toward investment in high technology;
Course Contents

Assessment Elements
- 10-minute written comment to the previous lecture topic
- Home-prepared presentation
- Written test comprising of 10 multiple-choice questions
Interim Assessment
- 2024/2025 3rd moduleFinal control (F): written exam (answers to 10 test questions within 60 minutes). Project (P): home-prepared presentation to be defended at class. Class assignment (Cl): 10-minute written comment to the previous lecture topic. A total of 2 as-signments have to be taken. The assignment grades are included in equal weights in the Cl grade which weights 0,2 of final grade (G). The overall course grade (10-point scale) is calculated as a sum of G = 0,4 F + 0,4 P + 0,2 Cl. The overall course grade G (10-point scale) includes results achieved by students in their exam (F), project (P), and class assignment (Cl); it is rounded up to an integer number of points.
