ICOIS for Everyone


Connecting Minds,
Transforming Systems

For the past decade ICOIS has worked at the seam where organisational behaviour, innovation policy and the social study of science meet. Our fellows publish in journals our peers respect; our convenings bring together scholars from fifteen countries.

This year we are publishing more, hosting more, and welcoming more new fellows than in any previous year. Sixty papers sit on our shelf and a further dozen are under review. Twenty-five colleagues from fifteen countries form the standing fellowship.

What follows is a brief tour of recent work. We hope it persuades you to read further — and perhaps to apply for fellowship next spring.
