  • Mind the border! Agents and functions to shape regional challenge-oriented innovation policy

    Francesco Cappellano, Elvira Uyarra et al.ARTICLEEuropean Planning Studies2024

    This paper explores the operationalization of policy directionality in terms of goal consistency as well as the spatial dimensions of problems and solutions.

  • Towards a problem-oriented regional industrial policy

    Kieron Flanagan, Elvira Uyarra et al.ARTICLERegional Studies2022Cited by: 13References: 21

In particular, while the relevance of social interaction for innovation is offered as a key rationale for the use of public procurement for innovation, there is little discussion of its corresponding spatial dimensions. This paper contributes to this deba…
