Presentations cover a vast array of topics, including: FDI knowledge spillovers, global value chains, digitalisation, open innovation, technology transformation, migrants knowledge, venture capital, industry 5.0. We close with the panel debate involving panellists and all participants on the challenges facing PhD students in the 2020s – a period of big data, new methodologies, and the relevance of the dyadic (mentor-student) model of PhD supervision. 

Invited discussants and panellists are lecturers from UCL and other London universities. The invited participants are PhD students from UCL and other London universities, as well as all academics and future PhDs interested in issues related to broadly defined issues of innovation and economic change.
