Geographical Perspectives on the Knowledge Society, 2012

Research on the knowledge society, regional innovation systems and their contribution to economic growth is already well established in the scientific literature. The research is based on a geographical analysis of the relationship between technological development, competitiveness factors and economic impacts. It is based on the premise that economic efficiency in the province stems from the quality of human capital, where innovation is a prerequisite for social progress, competitiveness and development success. The geographical distribution of development generators, which are often the cause of regional inequalities, is at the forefront of research interests. The purpose of the project is to study the spatial distribution of the knowledge society in Slovenia on the basis of technical-technological, economic-geographical and regional-geographical indicators.
