RIST LAB’s Missions

 

RIST LAB, assisted by its Scientific Committee,

  • supports and influences research in sociology, economics and management applied to research and innovation management, with a particular focus on key themes for RIST;
  • steers relations with RIST’s main scientific sources
  • coordinates RIST think tanks, closed working groups that are given a year to design new concepts and methods in a particular domain, based on academic results and known best practices;
  • directly steers several research programmes on sensitive topics (that may not be disclosed to academic institutions), in particular programmes aimed at accelerating the acquisition of expertise, and which are run by a subsidiary, RIST AxPertTM;
  • hosts as junior consultants several PhD students who are future consultants;
  • advises the members of RIST on all their activities, after checking that the methods used in the field are indeed based on international programmes of excellence.
