Board, faculty, associates

NOIS research centre was founded in 2020 at the Department of Management – Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, as a refocusing operation of the former research center for Innovation, Organization, and Strategy (IOS). Network, in fact, as a concept and a metaphor, is at the centre of many of the research interests of our Faculty that explores networks from many different disciplinary approaches.
Today NOIS groups several scholars and post-docs of the Department of Management (our Faculty), scholars and researchers from other universities or departments (our Associates), and PhD students, junior researchers, and experts (our Collaborators).
