KID2025 offers students theoretical and empirical lectures on knowledge dynamics, industry evolution, and economic development. Following its tradition, the school aims to attract students interested in studying a broad range of topics such as innovation and industrial dynamics, economics of science, entrepreneurship, corporate governance, regional development, urban innovation, and environmental innovation.
This year’s edition will focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the production of scientific and technological knowledge. KID2025 students will learn about the current empirical and theoretical work studying how AI fosters scientific research and innovation. Moreover, the discussion will tackle the potential policy interventions required to govern the diffusion of AI in the countries’ scientific and technological landscape and the consequences of the emergence of AI on the researchers’ labor market. The debate that KID2025 aims to animate is particularly relevant in the French institutional context due to the French government's recent investment in AI knowledge creation and diffusion. At KID2025, students will also learn to use AI as a research tool. Continuing its tradition, KID will offer students lectures from outstanding scholars and an arena to present their ongoing work.
KID2025 is funded by CNRS, EUR ELMI - Université Côte d’Azur, EFELIA Cote d’Azur, and the PhD programme in Innovation for the Circular Economy - University of Torino. KID has trained around 200 PhD students and postdocs. KID2025 is an action of Eurkind, a research network focusing on how knowledge, innovation, and development should be articulated for a better society in Europe.
The KID summer school will take place at Le Saint Paul Hotel-Maison du Séminaire, 29 Bd Franck Pilatte, Nice (France).
