(På norsk 🇳🇴) We talk a lot about the future of Norway’s green industries but less so about who will actually build them. Maybe it’s time to focus less on the industries and more on the people and skills behind them in the Green Transition. www.energiogklima.nomeninger-og-analyse/debatt/vi-sn...

Always lovely to see a little progress, and to see research I’ve been involved in, find its place in the academic community 🎉 Onwards and upwards 😊

Looks to be a really interesting new paper - looking forward to checking it out as it’s certainly a question I’ve wondered about quite a lot re: the effects of Smart Specialisation.

🚀 New publication alert! Our latest paper evaluates the impact of Smart Specialization policies on European regional economies. Curious about how innovation strategies drive growth? Read it here: 🔗 www.tandfonline.com/eprint/YKTZJ...

Regional #development strategies should identify a place's unique assets & potential—not merely echo its neighbours, say Pylak, @jay-deegan.bsky.social & @tbroekel.bsky.social in @regionalstudies.bsky.social. Innovation thrives on place-sensitive strategies, not on imitation. doi.org/10.1080/0034...

How the world’s biggest offshore wind company was blown off course

Denmark’s Ørsted was once seen as a model for how oil and gas giants could go green. Its recent troubles suggest that things may not be so easy

#Discontent is born of #decline. #Europe’s angriest regions aren’t its poorest, but those stuck in #development traps—stagnating while others surge ahead. Europscepticism thrives in economic neglect, as much as culture wars. The remedy? #Innovation, #education, and #reform. doi.org/10.1080/0013...

The twenties (potentially) roar again 🤔 Quite an interesting discussion on the economic situation we find ourselves in shows.acast.com/theintellige...

NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion. I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.

Really enjoyed reading this, as a geography nerd, particularly the maps and how far and fast we’ve come to where we are 🗺️

I loved writing this, on how we, modern humans alive today, are fundamentally different from all other Homo sapiens that came before us. It’ll likely make you think differently about your life—and how unique it is relative to our ancestors. www.forkingpaths.co/p/we-are-dif...

The future of work looks bright 🤩🫠
