Abstract/Sommario: A partire da un'ampia ricerca condotta sugli inventori italiani che hanno ottenuto dei brevetti europei, il volume traccia un profilo di queste figure finora poco analizzate anche nella letteratura internazionale. Ne vengono ricostruite l'identità, i percorsi di carriera, le relazioni sociali e gli ambiti di attività. Dall'analisi emergono realtà molto diverse a seconda dei settori produttivi e dei contesti territoriali e organizzativi.

This book addresses this question, investigating the effects of research in the field of international development. It starts from a sophisticated understanding about how research influences public policy and decision-making. It shows how research can contribute to better governance in at least three ways: by encouraging open inquiry and debate, by empowering people with the knowledge to hold governments accountable, and by enlarging the array of policy options and solutions available to the policy process. Knowledge to Policy examines the consequences of 23 research projects funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre. Key findings and case studies from Asia, Africa, and Latin America are presented in order to give to the reader a deeper grasp and understanding of approaches, contexts, relationships, and events.
