Research

CIRCLE is an interdisciplinary Centre for Innovation Research spanning several faculties at Lund University. 

CIRCLE's aim is to understand and explain how innovation can contribute to a good society and tackle societal challenges like economic crises, climate change or increased globalization of economic activities. This aim requires advanced insights into:

  • how knowledge is created and diffused in organizations, networks, regions, countries, and globally
  • how knowledge is turned into innovations
  • which conditions promote or hinder the creation and diffusion of innovation
  • what intended and unintended societal consequences innovation have.

Research at CIRCLE is currently organized in a number of interconnected thematic areas. Each theme hosts different research projects and most researchers at CIRCLE are involved in several research themes.
