Research programmes
From 2000 until now, most of my research projects explore different strategies of creation and circulation of knowledge within and amongst knowledge based organisations. My research strategy is based on two main programmes. As principle investigator in several major sponsored programmes, I raised € 2 million, in addition to being a leading member of four other funded research programmes.
Organisation of research and innovation in high tech sectors
Based on biotech and nanotechnology industries, this programme focuses on the firms’ evolution within emerging industries: coupling between financial and scientific resources within high tech companies, knowledge integration within project-based firms along the industry life cycle, spatial organisation of economic, technological and scientific activities in emerging sectors where sharing of research facilities is required.

Technology transfer and management of Public Sector Research Organisations.
Technology transfer strategies may be based on research alliances or on patent and licensing. My research focuses on additional modes of technology transfer like firm creation and mobility of human resource from academia to industry. My on-going research analyses the influence of technology transfer commitment on individual career (mid career around 40-50 years old researchers). It also focuses on management of shared research facilities as a mode of technology transfer.
