University of Bologna with the instruments and the means to bring
to Bologna visiting professors and junior scientists and to
stimulate the circulation of ideas and the exchange of
knowledge.
She has been involved in several research projects on technology
transfer. Among them, one of the most relevant is a FIRB project on
the “Re-organization of the Italian Public Research System”
(www.iris.Unibo.it).Over the past years she has been responsible
for several research projects financed and supported by local
institutions and research centers. She has been responsible for
several collaborations on the subject of technology transfer at
regional and national level. She has been (and she is currently)
involved in European projects on technology transfer.
Most of her scientific production is about New Business
Creation, Entrepreneurship, and Technology Transfer. On these
topics she has publications on national journals and international
journals (including Research Policy, R&D Management, Technology
and Innovation Management, Journal of Business Venturing, Small
Business Economics, Scientometrics, Entrepreneurship Theory and
