TERRITORIAL KNOWLEDGE COMMUNITIES AND THEIR RELATIONS IN WAVES ENERGY

The project presented a paper at the RSA 2019 Conference in Santiago de Compostela, which focuses on knowledge communities formed in the field of wave energy.

Helder Santos (CEGOT / Universidade do Porto) presented at the 2019 Regional Studies Association (RSA) Annual Conference in Santiago de Compostela, the communication "Global emergence of new technologies: a dynamic analysis of territorial knowledge communities and relational proximity in wave energy." This study, co-authored by Teresa Sá Marques, Margarida Fontes, Cristina Sousa e Nuno Bento, analyses the structure and dynamics of the territorial knowledge communities engaged in the development of wave energy technologies (based on data on the RTD projects funded at European level since the early 90s) and investigates how they shaped the process of technology emergence.

COMUNIDADES DE CONHECIMENTO TERRITORIAL E SUAS RELAÇÕES NA ENERGIA DAS ONDAS

O projeto apresentou um trabalho na Conferência RSA 2019 em Santiago de Compostela, em que o foco são as comunidades de conhecimento formadas no domínio da energia das ondas.

Helder Santos (CEGOT/Universidade do Porto) apresentou uma comunicação no início do mês de Junho na 2019 Regional Studies Association (RSA) Annual Conference, em Santiago de Compostela, intitulada “Global emergence of new technologies: A dynamic analysis of territorial knowledge communities and relational proximity in wave energy”.

Este trabalho, co-autorado por Teresa Sá Marques, Margarida Fontes, Cristina Sousa e Nuno Bento, analisa a estrutura e as dinâmicas das comunidades territoriais de conhecimento envolvidas no desenvolvimento da tecnologia da energia das ondas (tendo como base os projetos de I,D&I financiados pela União Europeia desde o início dos anos 90) e investiga o seu papel no processo de emergência da nova tecnologia.
