Learning objectives
The major goal of this course is to provide students with a better and more rigorous understanding of the key determinants, characteristics and implications of innovation processes (with regard to both technological and non-technological innovation) within contemporary economic systems. These issues can fruitfully be analyzed through the lens of the key theoretical constructs developed in the last years within the economics and innovation and innovation policies framework, with a special focus on the role played by for-profit firms, nonprofit organizations and political actors. These topics will be addressed through lectures as well as various forms of interactive teaching managed through the E-learning platform.
Prerequisites and basic notions

Program
The first part of the course will present the concept of innovation in economic thought, looking at the role of the "traditional" and "digital" entrepreneurs in the modern economy. Patents will be discussed as a legal instrument that recognizes the inventor's exclusive right to exploit the invention, and the issue of measuring innovation will be explored. Finally, the innovation policies implemented in Italy and Europe will be presented. The second part of the course outlines the differences between large and small companies, analyzing the driving factors of innovation for both contexts. Particular attention will be given to economic incentives and the role of public intervention, with a look at trends in Italy and Europe. Furthermore, the impact of artificial intelligence will be explored in depth, and, finally, the peculiarities of innovation in the post-Covid-19 pandemic pharmaceutical sector will be explored.

Type D and Type F activities
Nei piani didattici di ciascun Corso di studio è previsto l’obbligo di conseguire un certo numero di crediti formativi mediante attività a scelta (chiamate anche "di tipologia D e F").
Oltre che in insegnamenti previsti nei piani didattici di altri corsi di studio e in certificazioni linguistiche o informatiche secondo quanto specificato nei regolamenti di ciascun corso, tali attività possono consistere anche in iniziative extracurriculari di contenuto vario, quali ad esempio la partecipazione a un seminario o a un ciclo di seminari, la frequenza di laboratori didattici, lo svolgimento di project work, stage aggiuntivo, eccetera.
Come per ogni altra attività a scelta, è necessario che anche queste non costituiscano un duplicato di conoscenze e competenze già acquisite dallo studente.
Quelle elencate in questa pagina sono le iniziative extracurriculari che sono state approvate dalla Commissione didattica e quindi consentono a chi vi partecipa l'acquisizione dei CFU specificati, alle condizioni riportate nelle pagine di dettaglio di ciascuna iniziativa.
Si ricorda in proposito che:
- tutte queste iniziative richiedono, per l'acquisizione dei relativi CFU, il superamento di una prova di verifica delle competenze acquisite, secondo le indicazioni contenute nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività;
- lo studente è tenuto a inserire nel proprio piano degli studi l'attività prescelta e a iscriversi all'appello appositamente creato per la verbalizzazione, la cui data viene stabilita dal docente di riferimento e pubblicata nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività.

CONTAMINATION LAB
Il Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) è un percorso esperienziale con moduli dedicati all'innovazione e alla cultura d'impresa che offre la possibilità di lavorare in team con studenti e studentesse di tutti i corsi di studio per risolvere sfide lanciate da aziende ed enti. Il percorso permette di ricevere 6 CFU in ambito D o F. Scopri le sfide: https://www.univr.it/clabverona
ATTENZIONE: Per essere ammessi a sostenere una qualsiasi attività didattica, incluse quelle a scelta, è necessario essere iscritti all'anno di corso in cui essa viene offerta. Si raccomanda, pertanto, ai laureandi delle sessioni di dicembre e aprile di NON svolgere attività extracurriculari del nuovo anno accademico, cui loro non risultano iscritti, essendo tali sessioni di laurea con validità riferita all'anno accademico precedente. Quindi, per attività svolte in un anno accademico cui non si è iscritti, non si potrà dar luogo a riconoscimento di CFU.

Module/Programme news
News for students
There you will find information, resources and services useful during your time at the University (Student’s exam record, your study plan on ESSE3, Distance Learning courses, university email account, office forms, administrative procedures, etc.). You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details: only in this way will you be able to receive notification of all the notices from your teachers and your secretariat via email and also via the Univr app.
Method of attendance, teaching delivery and locations
The lectures on all the subjects of the course of study and the related examinations take place in person.
However, as a further service to students, it is also envisaged that, unless otherwise announced by the individual lecturer, lectures will be video-recorded and made available on the relevant e-learning spaces of the lectures a few weeks after they have taken place. Exceptions to this timing will only be possible for part-time students.
Attendance is not compulsory.
Further details on compulsory attendance can be found in the course regulations available under Regulations in the Course menu. Although the regulations do not stipulate a specific obligation, please check the instructions provided by the individual lecturer for each course or any laboratories and/or internships.
Part-time enrolment is permitted.
The venue for lectures and examinations is the Vicenza University Hub.
Linguistic training CLA
Graduation
The final exam consists of a paper in written form of at least 80 pages, exploring a topic of the student's choice relating to one of the subjects in the student's syllabus. The topic and title of the paper must be selected in agreement with a university lecturer from one of the SSDs included in the student's syllabus. The work must be developed under the guidance of the lecturer. The thesis is the subject of an oral presentation and discussion in front of a Degree Committee on one of the dates established explicitly in the calendar of teaching activities. In agreement with the Supervisor, the thesis may be written, and the discussion may take place in English.
Internships
The curriculum of the three-year degree courses (CdL) and master's degree courses (CdLM) in the economics area includes an internship as a compulsory training activity. Indeed, the internship is considered an appropriate tool for acquiring professional skills and abilities and for facilitating the choice of a future professional outlet that aligns with one's expectations, aptitudes, and aspirations. The student can acquire further competencies and interpersonal skills through practical experience in a work environment.
