INGENIO is located within the Polytechnic City of Innovation on the main campus of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV). The City of Innovation is host to a wide range of research centres across the spectrum of science disciplines.
INGENIO is primarily a research-focused institute, which is also involved in teaching and training activities. INGENIO researchers publish in the leading journals and present their work at the top international conferences in their respective fields. INGENIO’s internal seminar series provides a collegial setting for presenting early drafts of new research, whilst we regularly organize visiting scholar seminars and conferences and host many leading international researchers for medium and long-term stays.
INGENIO’s research on science and innovation addresses four main interconnected areas:
- Analysis of knowledge generation and use.
- The organization of innovation and research processes
- The analysis and evaluation of science and innovation policies and activities
- Analysis of projects, policies and institutions from a human and sustainable perspective
INGENIO has a long history of involvement in European framework projects and other international collaborations, alongside national competitive funding projects.
INGENIO maintains close contact with a range of civil and public policy organizations and actively engages with social actors to enhance the social and economic relevance of its research.
