Christopher Freeman is the founding father of modern Innovation Studies. His influence on the discipline (and also the scholars involved), has been phenomenal. This online lecture series is a tribute to Freeman, in his birth centenary year. The target audience is budding researchers, grad-students and inter-disciplinarians who aspire to use the analytical frame of Innovation Systems (IS) in their research but lack a thorough grounding in the theory. The lecture series is designed to serve as a ‘text book’, giving them an opportunity to listen to and network with scholars already working in the domain. We hope this would embolden grad-students, especially from Global South, where adequate training facility in ‘IS’ is still scanty. The online lecture series starts on 7-January and ends on 1-April, 2021.
