Dear AIB-colleagues,
This is a gentle reminder that the submission deadline (30 March) for the workshop on "INNOVATION IN EMERGING ECONOMIES" is rapidly approaching.
The event takes place from the 13 – 14 July 2017 at the Technical University Berlin (Germany). The aim of the workshop is to discuss novel research on innovation and technological upgrading in the BRICS countries as well as less researched emerging economies. We invite submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Measurement and indicators
- Sector and technological dynamics
- New innovation patterns and business models
- FDI, multinational enterprises and innovation
- Upgrading in global value chains
- Innovation policy

Please submit your extended abstract to inno.emergingeconomies@uni-bremen.de by the 30 March 2017. The extended abstract should carry the name of all authors, all contact details and should summarize the content of the paper (no longer than 2 pages).
Submissions presented at the conference are considered for publication in two related special issues scheduled for 2018:
- Technological Forecasting and Social Change has a special issue on "Exploring Technology Upgrading of Emerging and Transition Economies: From 'Shifting Wealth I' to 'Shifting Wealth II'?"

We appreciate your contributions and intend to create a very productive forum for professional exchange and networking for scholars of different disciplinary background. We also recommend this occasion for a short visit to Berlin. During summer it is simply a very exciting place to be.
