Mission-oriented #innovation promises grand solutions, yet too often ignores geography. As @elvirauyarra.bsky.social, @larscoenen.bsky.social et al. stress, innovation isn’t placeless; it’s shaped by local #institutions. A spatially blind approach risks failure & exclusion. doi.org/10.1016/j.ei...

Very sad to hear that Dick Nelson has passed away (at 94). Dick was a huge influence on me & a great friend of SPRU. In his 80s he would fly over on the red-eye (economy) & come straight in to talk to PhD students. He was an absolute intellectual giant & one of the kindest people I've ever met.
