Previous affiliations include the Norwegian Ministry of Finance, the Norwegian Institute for Foreign Affairs (NUPI) and the University of Aalborg. Fagerberg studied history, political science and economics before he graduated from the University of Bergen in 1980 with a degree in economics. He also holds a D. Phil. from the University of Sussex (1989), where he was a student at the Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU). Fagerberg has been serving on several committees in Norway and elsewhere, including the Norwegian Research Council and the European Science Foundation, and has been a consultant to the European Commission, the OECD and the United Nations. He has been visiting professor at several foreign universities including the University of California San Diego, the University of Maastricht, the University of Paris XIII and Copenhagen Business School. During the academic year 2002-2004 he is a visiting professor at the Technical University of Lisbon. Subject InterestFagerberg is specialised in research on the impact of technology on trade, competitiveness and growth, and has published extensively on these and related topics in books and major journals. In the period 1996-1999 he was one of the co-ordinators of the large European project ‘Technology, Economic Integration and Social Cohesion (TEIS)’ funded by European Commission (in which more than 50 European researchers and 15 different institutions took part). A more recent initiative is the Innovation Studies Network, which Fagerberg initiated in 1999 with the support of the Norwegian Research Council. Currently he is, together with his colleagues at TIK, involved in several ongoing projects on globalisation of innovation. Between 2002 and 2004, he coordinated a European project ‘Towards an European Area of Research and Innovation: Lessons from research undertaken in the Framework programmes (TEARI)’, funded by the European Commission and the Norwegian Research Council, aimed at synthesizing our knowledge on the relationship between innovation and the economy and, in particular, assessing the role of EU-funded research in this context. The project led to the publication of ‘The Oxford Handbook of Innovation’, coedited with David Mowery and Richard Nelson, in October 2004.Selected PublicationsFagerberg, J. 2002.

ResearchI have been specialised in research on the impact of technology on trade, competitiveness and growth, and has published extensively on these and related topics in books and major journals. A selection of my papers in this area is just published. More information on the book, entitled ‘Technology, Growth and Competitiveness: Selected Essays’ is available on my web-page (link below). In the period 1996-1999 I was one of the co-ordinators of the large European project Technology, Economic Integration and Social Cohesion (TEIS) funded by European Commission (in which more than 50 European researchers and 15 different institutions took part). This project resulted among other things in the book ‘The Economic Challenge for Europe: Adapting to Innovation Based Growth’ (edited by Jan Fagerberg, Paolo Guerrieri and Bart Verspagen). A paper summarizing some of the results from that project can be downloaded from link below. A more recent initiative was the Innovation Studies Network, which I initiated in 1999 with the support of the Norwegian Research Council. The idea here has been to get a group of international scholars together and discuss central issues. Until now there have been four such meetings. If you want to learn more about the discussions you can download the reports from the four workshops that have been arranged to date (link below). Currently I am together with his colleagues at TIK involved in a project on the Norwegian Innovation System (IPP). Between 2002 and 2004, I coordinated a European project ‘Towards an European Area of Research and Innovation: Lessons from research undertaken in the Framework programmes (TEARI)’, funded by the European Commission and the Norwegian Research Council, aimed at synthesizing our knowledge on the relationship between innovation and the economy and, in particular, assessing the role of EU-funded research in this context.
