International Schumpeter Society Conference 2024

The International Schumpeter Society conference took place from June 9 to 11, 2024 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The conference theme was Transformation: Creative Accumulation and Creative Destruction in the Economy.

Thanks to the organizing committee from U-GOT KIES (Gothenburg Centre on knowledge-intensive innovation ecosystems) for hosting a wonderful #ISS2024 Conference in Gothenburg. Together with Elena Mas-Tur (Eindhoven University of Technology and University of Gothenburg), we organized an Invited Session on #knowledge networks and #innovation. Our session featured excellent contributions from esteemed colleagues, including Muge Ozman and Matthias Müller.

The session explored various topics, including:

• Empirical studies of knowledge using secondary data such as bibliometric or patent analyses.
• Micro-processes underlying the formation and development of knowledge networks.
• Combined use of primary and secondary data sources to unravel the social structures and connectivity patterns of networks.

We are grateful to all participants for their engaging presentations and stimulating discussions, which contributed to the success of both our session and the conference as a whole.
