BUREAU OF RESEARCH IN INNOVATION, COMPLEXITY AND KNOWLEDGE

Research on innovation, knowledge and technological change

BRICK is a research centre at the University of Turin and Collegio Carlo Alberto studying how knowledge, innovation and new technologies shape firms, industries, regions and countries.

About BRICK

BRICK is based at the Department of Economics and Statistics “Cognetti de Martiis”, University of Turin. We study the economics and policy of knowledge creation, innovation and technological change, including their effects on firms, industries, regions and countries.

Established in 2008, BRICK builds on the Laboratorio di Economia dell’Innovazione Franco Momigliano (LEI), founded in 1992 in memory of Professor Franco Momigliano and his pioneering work on technological change.
