Innovation Research from Individuals to Society
CCR studies innovation as a process: how new solutions emerge, develop, are adopted, diffuse, and create impacts across individuals, organizations, businesses, markets, and society.
We examine how people experience, adopt, and use new solutions; how businesses develop, leverage, and scale them; and how markets, institutions, and decision-making environments shape their emergence, diffusion, and impacts.
Our research connects perspectives on individual behaviour, organizational action, market dynamics, and societal structures. We collaborate closely and over the long term with companies, policymakers, and other societal actors. Our aim is to combine scientific novelty with practical and societal impact.
CCR’s research activities are organized through four interconnected research groups with complementary focus areas. Together, they examine how new solutions emerge and develop, and how they are adopted, diffused, and translated into broader societal impacts. You can explore the research groups in more detail below.
