Alberto Di Minin appointed to OECD Working party on innovation and technology
Alumnus Alberto Di Minin, professor of Innovation Management at the Management Institute of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, has been nominated Italian delegate within the Working Party on Innovation and Technology Policy (TIP) of the OECD. The TIP provides evidence-based advice to countries to foster STI policies that enhance productivity and foster sustainable and inclusive knowledge-driven economic growth, strengthen public research institutions and their contributions to innovation and economic performance, and foster the creation of science and technology-based firms.
“I am deeply honoured” – commented Alberto Di Minin – “because this is a unique opportunity to grasp how the characteristics of the Italian innovation system compare with those of other OECD countries. Furthermore, as the representative for my country, I will endeavour to contribute to formulating recommendations that will be useful for the most interesting innovation dynamics in Italy, such as technology transfer, the ratio between SMEs and large businesses, the balance between tradition and innovation and enhancing Italian research talents worldwide.”
