The overall aim of research at CIRCLE is to understand and explain how innovation can contribute to a good society and tackle societal challenges such as economic crises, climate change or the reorganization of the knowledge economy in a globalized world.

Research at CIRCLE has been fundamental to theorize and empirically study the knowledge economy, and in particular the processes, drivers and hinders, as well as governance of innovation. Recently, however, attention has turned to societal consequences of innovation and potential dark sides of innovation.

The post-docs are expected to contribute to developing research actions to investigate, on the one hand, the consequences of macro-changes on the knowledge economy and innovation and, on the other hand, the potential and limitations of innovation, and the governance thereof to address challenges related to the changes in the economic landscape.
