The aim of this presentation is to introduce and discuss a research agenda centered around innovation systems and networks and regenerative transformations. Through an analysis of existing research gaps in both innovation systems and networks, and transition studies, opportunities for collaboration between these two areas of inquiry are identified. Finally, I present my current and planned research lines and projects that connect both lines of research. As a newcomer in INGENIO, the ultimate goal is to introduce myself and my research agenda and exploring potential collaborations with members of INGENIO.
