Preface
The spatial dynamics of the web of interactions between organisations conducting joint Research and Development (R&D) activities – referred to as R&D networks – has recently evolved to one of the ‘hot topics’ in modern research of the Geography of Innovation literature. After the era of mainly focusing on direct, dyadic relations between actors performing joint R&D, emphasis is nowadays increasingly shifted to a network perspective. The latter extends the focus on dyads to the s
