For a sociology of local innovation ecosystems: A work in progress on NRRP and the Rome Technopole
About this ebook
This is a special book, presenting Dr Tommaso Fasciani’s doctoral thesis (PhD School in Social Sciences and Economics at Sapienza, Sociology and Applied Social Research curriculum). Tommaso didn’t have time to complete his program, as a tragic road accident took his life at the age of just 32. The book contains Tommaso’s thesis at the first stage of elaboration, short presentations of his biography and the evaluations of the thesis. The publication of such a promising but incomplete scientific work is dedicated to him and to all those who knew, loved, and remember him with sorrow. It is also intended for PhD students, as the material collected bears witness to the research process in the social sciences and the stages that enrich academic training after graduation.
