Science and Innovation Management

  • Why do emergent technology based innovations and innovative systems experience so many difficulties with their implementation in the market place and in society?
  • How to manage technology based innovations in firms, regions and society?
  • How to intervene in technological innovation trajectories by means of management and policy making?

Bridging the gap between technology and society

Developments in areas as energy, transport or health not only need researchers who can provide new technologies. They also, and increasingly, need academics that can link new technologies with the economic wishes, needs and conditions of our society. And that’s exactly what the Master’s Programme in Science and Innovation Management does: bridging the gap between technology and society.

Your key challenge: analysis to support innovation management

The master Science and Innovation Management focuses on science and technology driven processes of change from the perspective of innovation systems. You will learn:

  • about technology and applications 
  • about people and organisations in order to gain a broad view of all policy, management and strategy aspects involved in realising an innovation.
  • how to analyse and manage this innovation process. 
  • how to analyse the dynamics of innovation systems and the conditions of the actors involved in the innovation process.

Your future ambition

  • Do you have a science or technology related background?
  • Are you interested in technology related innovations?
  • And do you want to contribute to the global  future knowledge society?

If so, the master Science and Innovation Management could be just right for you!
