The 10^th summer school on “Knowledge Dynamics, Industrial Evolution, Economic Development” (KID 2022) will take place the 4-8 of July, 2022, at Le Saint Paul Hotel-Maison du Séminaire, 29 Bd Franck Pilatte, Nice (France).

KID2022 offers students theoretical and empirical lectures on knowledge dynamics, industry evolution, and economic development. Following its 10-year tradition, the school aims at attracting students interested in studying a broad range of subjects such as the emergence and persistence of innovation, entrepreneurship, firms’ growth, corporate governance and performance, geographical agglomeration and dispersion of industrial activities, skills dynamics, the economics of science, smart cities, and environmental innovation. This year’s edition will devote particular attention to how KID’s traditional themes relate to the COVID19 shock. Moreover, a special session supported by the GIGA-ANR grant will be organized on “gender bias in science funding”.
