ESSID promotes the diffusion of research findings and methodologies in the area of Industrial Dynamics.

Since 1998, it has established itself as a leading forum in this field, where specialists meet regularly to share the research experience.

It provides a unique opportunity for networking: PhD students and junior researchers meet the leading experts in the field, share everyday life, and establish long lasting contacts with both fellow students and faculty members.

Lectures by leading scholars provide update overviews on research at the frontier of industrial dynamics, economics of innovations, economics of science and the geography of innovation.

Students present their PhD drafts and papers at small-group students' workshops, where they get comments from both the faculty and fellow students. Workshops on research tools provide highlight on data sources, methods of analysis, and simulation techniques who students will find helpful for their ongoing research.
