Luiz Spinosa

My current research interests concern: 1) the fostering of innovation ecosystems balanced with sustainable regional development, 2) innovation ecosystems and smart cities relations, and 3) knowledge engineering/representation concerning innovation ecosystems and smart cities. I usually combine methods issued from Social Science and Engineering disciplines to conduct the researches. Protege (ontology editor) is a tool I usually use to represent my findings, among others.
