BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANISATION
The Laboratory of Industrial and Energy Economics (LIEE) is an educational and research unit at the School of Chemical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). NTUA is the oldest and most famous educational institution in Greece in the field of technology and engineering. LIEE/NTUA is now a well -established and active research unit in European and national socioeconomic, policy and strategy research focusing on the study of innovation, research networks, knowledge flows industrial sectors, knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship, public procurement, international competitiveness, new emerging industries, energy and environment.
LIEE’s research activities are grouped in four main research areas: Economic and Strategic Analysis of Industry, Innovation and Technology, Energy and environmental policy, Operations Research and Management Science, and Information Society and Knowledge-based economy. In the research projects involved, LIEE has used a variety of qualitative (e.g. cases studies, panels of industry experts/academics/policy makers and policy shapers to study specific value chains and innovative processes and business activities) and quantitative techniques (e.g. multivariate statistical analysis, social network analysis etc.) and empirical methods (e.g. large-scale surveys). LIEE’s research activities are entirely funded through national and European research contracts (more than 130 research projects during the last 30 years) assigned mainly on a competitive basis
HOW THE ORGANISATION WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISSEMINATION AND EXPLOITATION OF THE PROJECT RESULTS
Due to each academic and research nature, LIEE/NTUA has the resources to support the project in exploiting and disseminating its results. We could contribute to the communication of end user of the project activities: students, researchers, phd graduates but also involve the start up ecosystem, though NTUA business accelerator and incubator. Seminars on the main content of the study could also be undertaken in the context of the course Technology – Innovation – Entrepreneurship that is taking place at the School of Chemical Engineering.
