My research in territorial economics is focused on the collective and territorialized process of knowledge and innovation production. Rooted in the theoretical framework of evolutionary geographic economics of innovation, my research employs diverse methodologies applied to different sectors and territorial analysis frameworks. Recently, my research focus on the role of educational institutions in facilitating collective knowledge production for agroecological transition.
