About the European Network on Industrial Policy (EUNIP)

EUNIP is a multinational network of researchers in economics and management, who have a specific (research) interest in the area of economic development and public policy. Established in 1991, it has identified and explored a research agenda focusing on the development of localities, competitiveness, innovation, economic cohesion, industrial and regional policy evaluation, comparative analysis of industrial development, clusters and public policy. The 9th International Conference is a catalysing event for the Network as it is an opportunity to bring the discussion to an open forum, to invite high profile speakers, exchange opinions and engage with policy-makers and practitioners.
