Innovation & Technology Management

The Innovation & Technology Management thematic group comprises about 80 researchers interested in sharing and developing their knowledge and experience on innovation topics. It is a dynamic group, characterized by a marked international vocation. Currently, it is a partner of CINet, Continuous Innovation Network.
