Raffaele Mancuso

I'm a Junior Assistant Professor in the Circular Innovation Ecosystems research group within the Department of Management of Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna.

Previously I held a Postdoc position at Politecnico di Milano in the Entrepreneurship, Finance, and Innovation research group.

My research interests cover economics of science, circular economy, the impact of public policy, and entrepreneurship.

Welcome in my site. I hope you enjoy it.
