The Globelics International Conference 2021
The 17th Globelics Conference will be held in Heredia, Costa Rica. The conference will be hosted by the International Center of Economic Policies for Sustainable Development, CINPE, an institute of the National University, one of the main universities in Costa Rica. Costa Rica will be the first Central American country to host the Globelics Conference. The Conference has been organized before in other Latin American and Caribbean countries, as Brazil. Argentina, Mexico and Cuba and in countries in all the continents. We see a big opportunity with the conference for the analysis of strategies to promote innovation aimed to define new strategies of growth, social welfare and environment. There is also a big opportunity to strengthen the cooperation among the academy with other key actor in the innovation systems, promoting relevant discussions. The conference will combine plenary sessions, presentations of research papers in parallel tracks, thematic panel sessions or special sessions, poster presentations, a book presentation session and debate, exhibition on industrial research, innovative start-ups presentations, sightseeing and cultural events, as well as artistic and culinary exhibitions. Considering the extraordinary situation at present and the uncertainty with regards to Covid19 that still prevails, Globelics conference 2021will combine both the online and offline mode of participation. While we will be happy to welcome all those who are able to travel to Costa Rica, for participation in person, others are welcome to join online. As in the earlier years, there will be plenary sessions, special sessions and parallel sessions. In all these sessions you will have the option of participating in person or through designated online platforms.
Background
Globelics is a worldwide network of more than 2000 scholars engaged in research on how innovation and competence building contribute to economic and sustainable development. The network is open and diverse in terms of disciplines, perspectives and research tools. Globelics is a platform for cooperation and interactive learning. It was conceived at the very beginning of the new millennium. Inspired by the work of Christopher Freeman and Richard Nelson, the network was initially built on conversations among scholars in the South and in the North and developed by economists and experts on innovation systems. Over time the network, under the leadership of Bengt-Åke Lundvall has integrated expertise from a wider social science background and experts on broader aspects of development. One of its main activities is the Annual Globelics Conference, which brings together over 400 leading and young scholars from all over the world, with special efforts to include scholars from low-income countries. The Conference also aims at building research capacity and orienting research toward the local challenges of the host country.
Conference Theme: The main conference theme for Globelics 2021 is "Innovation systems and Sustainable Development: new strategies for growth, social welfare and environmental sustainability". The conference invites papers addressing the role of different types of actors such as the State, local authorities, continental entities, knowledge institutions, firms, and industries political and social actors in shaping innovation and capacity building so as to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth. In particular, it aims to explore whether we need new approaches to study inequality, sustainable development, the role of SMES and specific approaches for Latin American and other developing countries. The conference will also consider the need to tackle new challenges related to innovation and capacity building and papers studying how systems of policies can be implemented at different levels and across different countries to innovate in order to promote inclusive growth, social welfare and environmental sustainability. The need for new strategies to face the crisis caused by COVID-19 will be studied in the different tracks and in plenary sessions.
