Biography
1 - Current occupations and activitiesI am Full Professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and hold the Chair of Economics and Management of Innovation (CEMI).
I am a member of the Swiss Council for Science (SWR); chairman of the Advisory Board of the Swiss Economic Research Institute (KOF); and a foreign member of the Center of Capitalism and Society (Columbia University, New York).
From 2007 to 2015, I served as a member of the Swiss National Research Council (Division IV - Large Scale Programs)
From 2013 to 2016, I was a member of the Expert Commission for Research and Innovation of Germany (E-FI) and a member of the Expert Group for the National Report on Research and Innovation (SBFI, Switzerland).
From 2008 to 2011, I served as chairman of the expert group Knowledge for Growth; a group of prominent economists created to advise Commissioner J. Potocnik (European Commission, DG research). This is during this service as member of this Group that I developed the concept of smart specialisation (together with P.A.David and B.Hall) that is now a key policy mechanism of the EU (cohesion policy).
My expertise includes the economics of innovation and knowledge and the economic policy implications of the new knowledge-based economy. I have presented many opening speeches and key note address in academic and policy conferences on these topics. I have written numerous academic papers as well as two books and have edited several books and special issues in these fields. Among these books,I like to highlight :
Technology and the Wealth of Nations (Pinter, 1992) ed.with C.Freeman;
Unemployment and Growth in the Knowledge-based Economy (OECD, 1996), ed. with B.A.Lundvall;
Knowledge economies and societies (a special issue of the International Social Science Journal, Basil Blackwell, 2002, with editions in French, Spanish, Chinese, Arabs, Russian);
The Economics of knowledge (MIT press, 2004, paperback in 2006) with editions in France, Italy, Korea, China, Greece, Syria and Algeria
The New Economics of Technology Policy(Edward Elgar)2009, ed.;
. Smart specialisation : opportunities and challenges for regional innovation policy(Routledge, 2015)
Since 2017, I regularly contribute to the Swiss Science Council blog: https://blog.wissenschaftsrat.ch/
2 Education, previous appointments and academic positions
- I received my Ph.D. in economics in 1984 and my "habilitation à diriger des recherches" in 1992 from the University Lumière of Lyon.
- In 1985, I joined the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) as a Research Fellow in economics.
- In 1990, I joined the Ecole Centrale de Paris as professor of economics, and taught in the program ingénieur économiste.
- In 1993, I was nominated as Research Director at CNRS and joined the Institut pour le Management de la Recherche et de l

Technologie, économie et politique: en face des crises
This course deals with the role of innovations as essential responses to the big potential crises of our time - the so-called Grand Societal Challenges. The course alternates theoretical presentations - based on micro-economic analysis - and case studies.
Publishing in Management, Technology and Innovation
The seminar aims to improve doctoral students' competencies in management, technology, and innovation to publish their work in leading academic journals.
Economics of Innovation and Technological Change
This year, the course will be held at Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby/Copenhagen,
8 to 12 May 2023.
Please contact the EDMT Administration for more information.
Technology and Public Policy - Technology and innovation policies for grand and global challenges
This course addresses the design of policies for Grand Challenges. It aims at providing a policy toolkit - about innovation, economic regulation and societal inclusion - while supporting students about writing the first pillars of a roadmap to address one specific Grand Challenge.
