Centre for Leadership Excellence

We invite proposals for presentations, round table discussions, and academic papers on innovation studies. We invite scholars on innovation studies, policymakers and practitioners interested in contributing to the discussion of the importance of innovation to drive prosperity and social development. We are particularly interested in work that is at the intersection of leadership and innovation and that explore how various forms of leadership impact innovation, complex systems, networks, and collaboration.

 

We seek papers that explore a variety of aspects concerning the following key themes:

 

• Innovation and complex knowledge

• Impact of technological change on regional growth, industries, and communities

• Dynamics of knowledge networks and collaboration patterns

• Social innovation and innovation for inclusive development

• Innovation policy in a knowledge-based economy

 

Interested participants with additional topics related to innovation studies are encouraged to apply.

 

Please send your inquiries and proposals in a maximum of two pages to Claudia De Fuentes Claudia.defuentes@smu.ca, please indicate the theme and sub-theme of your proposal. We hope you can join us.
