Details about Expertise / Competences / Technologies The Institute for Developmental and Strategic Analysis (IRSA) is a private, non-profit research institution on the fields of social sciences and humanities in the sense of the academic research as well to the policy relevant studies specific for the think-tank organisations.
The last years main research projects in the IRSA are connected to socio-cultural aspects of knowledge and technology transfer and were investigated from the point of view of the social studies of science and technology as well as from the aspect of theoretical concepts of social and human capital. An empirical approach is based on the triangulation, which combines the quantitative and qualitative methods and data including meta-analysis and case studies.
The main fields of expertise are therefore:
- social capital and developmental/innovation performance on regional and (cross-)national level
- the impact of cultural patterns on innovation capacity
- the epistemic and organizational aspects of knowledge transfer in high-tech firms
Institute IRSAs expertise/competence is based on the intersection of cultural studies, economic (and political) sociology and social studies of science and technology. All researchers, members of IRSA, have experiences in international and/or EU research programmes and projects. | | Research Activities |
