Abstract
The course "Innovation and Internationalization" explores how organizations and states develop, diffuse, and compete through innovation at local, national, and global levels. It examines innovation as both a strategic driver of competitiveness and a key mechanism of international engagement. The course integrates perspectives from multiple levels of analysis: organizational innovation strategies and design thinking approaches; state-led policy instruments and science diplomacy; and systemic interactions between national innovation systems, technological competition, and global knowledge networks.
A key focus is placed on international technology transfer and the mechanisms through which innovations are exchanged between firms, states, corporations, and research institutions. The course addresses how innovation and internationalization interact across diverse contexts - from entrepreneurial ventures to large-scale research infrastructure ("megascience") - and considers their implications for international relations, technological sovereignty, and global competitiveness.
Special attention is given to: the governance of international science and innovation collaborations; frameworks for anticipating and forecasting innovation trends; measurement and evaluation of innovation impact; and the tensions between technological sovereignty and open science/innovation in an era of technological rivalry and potential deglobalization.
A key focus is placed on international technology transfer—the process through which innovations are exchanged between states, corporations, and research institutions, shaping the dynamics of global innovation networks.
Learning Objectives
- Introduce core concepts, frameworks, and tools for understanding innovation and internationalization at organizational, national, and global levels.
- Develop students' ability to apply design thinking and innovation management methodologies to real-world challenges.
- Explain how policy instruments, governance structures, and state strategies shape innovation ecosystems and international competitiveness incl. Internationalization
- Clarify the relationship between science diplomacy, tech diplomacy, and national innovation strategies.
- Equip students to analyze large-scale research infrastructure, measure innovation, and navigate tensions between technological sovereignty and open science
- Develop students' capacity to formulate evidence-based policy recommendations that integrate innovation strategy, international engagement, and organizational dynamics.
- Build competencies for careers in innovation, diplomacy, international policy, and strategic foresight.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Apply design thinking and innovation management frameworks to develop solutions for organizational and policy challenges.
