Annual meeting for doctoral students and
young researchers in
Economics of Innovation, Complexity and Knowledge
organized by the students of the
Vilfredo Pareto Doctoral Program in Economics - University of
Turin
and the Complexity Economics Working Group - YSI
jointly with
BRICK and Collegio
Carlo Alberto
The Vilfredo Pareto Doctoral Program in Economics - University of Turin and the Complexity Economics Working Group - YSI (Young Scholars Initiative) are pleased to announce the 8th International PhD Workshop in Economics of Innovation, Complexity and Knowledge (WICK#8), sponsored by BRICK and Collegio Carlo Alberto.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together young researchers from different disciplines and provide them an opportunity of discussion of both full and early works. Participants will also have the opportunity to receive helpful feedbacks from distinguished faculty members and external scholars.
The main topics of the workshop are Economics of Knowledge and Innovation, with a special focus on Firm and Regional Innovation Strategies, Economics of Science, Economics of Networks,and Environmental Economics . The workshop will bring together methodologically heterogeneous works, such as contributions in the field of Econometric, Complex Network Analysis , Experimental and Computational Methods, or Agent-Based Models.
As usual, the young researchers will also have the opportunity to attend lessons from renowned scholars in the field. This year we are glad to host as Keynote speakers Prof. Luigi Marengo (LUISS University, Italy), Prof. Maria Savona (SPRU - University of Sussex, UK and LUISS University, Italy) and Prof. Natalia Zinovyeva (University of Warwick).
Participants may apply for a long or a short presentation session. In the long presentation sessions each participant will have 20 minutes to present a full paper. In the short presentation session, each participant will have 10 minutes to present an advanced research proposal. In both cases, a senior researcher is going to lead a 10 minutes discussion of the paper/research projects after the presentation. To apply for the workshop the submission of an extended abstract of the paper/research proposal is enough (maximum 1000 words), but for those who choose a long presentation, the full paper will be required a couple of weeks before the Workshop.
The workshop will take place on December 10–11, 2020 at the Collegio Carlo Alberto in Turin.
Due to the worsening situation of the pandemic the Italian Government has imposed new restrictions related to Covid-19 that prevent us from holding the event in-person. Therefore the workshop will be FULLY ONLINE and no registration fee will be required.

Her research topics rely on Innovation and Evolutionary Economics. She is particularly keen on the impact of innovation on employment and wages, the structural change of the sectoral composition of economies, and their policy implications. She is member of the editorial board of Research Policy and The Eurasian Business Review, and advisory editor of the Journal of Evolutionary Economics.
Natalia Zinovyeva is an Associate Professor at the University of Warwick, UK. She received her Ph.D. in Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies.

The workshop is host by Collegio Carlo Alberto building in Piazza Arbarello, 8 Turin, that formerly hosted the School of Economics of the University of Turin.
The Collegio Carlo Alberto is a foundation created in 2004 at the joint initiative of the Compagnia di San Paolo and the University of Torino. Its mission is to foster research and education in the social sciences, in accordance with the values and practices of the international academic community.
No, PhD Students are the main target of the Workshop, but also 1st-year Post-docs (only in long sessions) and last-year Master Students (only in short presentations) are welcome.
Each participant has to present something, because the spirit of the event is to create a community that shares ideas and research questions. But the full paper will be asked only a couple of weeks before the Workshop. And if this is not enought, we have a solution for you! Why do not apply for a short presentation? You will have the opportuntity to briefly present a structured research idea and have useful comments and advises by a senior discussant. A great opportunity to get off to a good start :)
We are sorry, but you can not. Each participant is supposed to present something. You can decide to apply either for a long, or for a short presentation. In the latter case you will have the opportuntity to briefly present a structured research idea and have useful comments and suggestions by a senior discussant. Moreover, we are open to discuss possible alternatives to paper presentations that can be of interest for the other participants. The aim of the event is to create a community that shares ideas and research questions: so, dare to share!
In a long presentation you will have 20 min to explain your paper, followd by 10 min of discussion. In a short one you will have 10min to speak, and at the end of the session the 2-3 short presentations will be discussed together for 10 min. In both cases a senior researcher will lead the discussion, based on the reading of your draft paper.
No, the final papers will be shared only with the senior discussant that is in charge of your session, and it is useful only to her to give you a proper feedback.
