Focusing on the evolution of scientific and technical knowledge and set in an evolutionary framework the investigation aims to provide ground-breaking insights into how innovative individuals and entities are embedded in social and cognitive local and non-local networks, and how regional technology trajectories are shaped. TechEvo will provide a wealth of indicators, models and tools that will assist firms and policy makers in place-based investment decisions and deliver a science and technology policy evaluation tool capable of assessing impact. Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) – Science-Technology Space (SciTechSpace) Project: The creation and accumulation of scientific and technical knowledge are processes at the heart of technological change and economic growth. A significant literature has contributed to aggregate measures of knowledge production, but the underlying processes that explain how advanced knowledge is generated in the first place, and subsequently translated into novel products and processes of economic value, remains unexplored. The “Science-Technology Space” (SciTechSpace) project (2018-2022) will undertake an evolutionary analysis that will establish the link between scientific knowledge production and technological progress. Of particular interest are knowledge recombination activities at the intersection of science and technology domains. The overall objective of the project is to develop 1) an analysis tool capable of identifying gaps and opportunities for technology evolution and scientific advancement at the micro- and meso-scale, relevant for public and private entities, and 2) a science and technology policy evaluation appraisal tool capable of assessing impact and forecasting. -- Dieter F.
