This edited volume examines the interplay between network structures and innovation processes through a variety of theoretical and empirical lenses — including evolutionary economics, social network analysis, agent‑based modelling, and approaches drawn from statistical physics. The collection explores how networks of firms, research institutions, and individuals influence the generation, diffusion, and evolution of innovations, offering new modelling paradigms for understanding regional innovation systems, knowledge flows, and dynamic interactions in complex socioeconomic systems.
