Professor Bruno Van Pottelsberghe

My research interests concern the economics and management of innovation and intellectual property. The more precise topics of research can be seen in my 'publication' page and hereunder, through the research fields that are (or have been) investigated with 10 research fellows.

I have the pleasure to work with a team of highly motivated researchers. They are (or have been) all enrolled in a Ph.D. programme and focus on a specific issue of the economics and management of innovation and intellectual property. So far five researchers have finished their dissertation, and five are currently working on their research projects.
