Knowledge, Internationalization and Technology Studies

KITeS' mission is to understand the relationship between innovation, firms competitiveness and economic growth in the global economy. KITeS research focuses on three key areas: innovation and applied economics, technology management and international trade.
KITeS was established in 2008. The centre is hosted by Bocconi University, located in Milan. It is an inter-departmental research center, integrating researchers affiliated to the Departments of Economics, Management and Institutional Analysis and Public Management. It builds upon two pre-existing research centers (CESPRI and CRITOM) which have recently merged to forge one of the largest and most visibile European groups in the innovation studies area. For futher information see the KITeS Annual Report 2009 below.
