More than 40 international young researchers from over 20 universities around the globe attended the RISE 7 Workshop on 17 and 18 December 2024. For the seventh time now, the two-day event was organized by Ph.D. students from the Department for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research to give young scholars the opportunity to present and discuss their work.
Twelve selected doctoral students and recent graduates presented their work, which was then discussed by experienced researchers. The presentations were divided into seven sessions and provided an exciting program on the topics of Corporate Innovation, Knowledge Generation and Innovation, Green Innovation, Innovation in Young Firms, Science of Science, Innovation in the Life Sciences, and Innovation Beyond Patents and Networks.
A special highlight of the event was the inspiring keynote by Alexander Oettl, Professor of Strategy & Innovation at the Scheller College of Business of the Georgia Institute of Technology and Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He explored the future of science and spoke on the topic “Building Tomorrow’s Science: The Interplay of Talent, Geography, and AI”. His talk provided ample material for vivid discussions.
