Tutkimushankkeet

Suunnittelumaantieteen tutkimusprojekti HINNE – High Technology Development Networks in the Northernmost Europe – selvittää korkean teknologian kehitystä Pohjois-Euroopassa. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan huipputeknologian toimijoiden ja ohjelmien verkostoitumista, huipputeknologian innovaatioiden syntyä ja kehitystä sekä miten innovaatiopolitiikka ja aluepolitiikka kehittyvät Pohjois-Euroopassa.
