The Birkbeck Centre for Innovation Management draws on a variety of academic disciplines across the fields of management, law, economics and science policy, to deliver high quality research and teaching in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Launched in 2008, it undertakes international research focusing on multi-disciplinary academic, industrial and commercial themes relating to the management of innovation. It is a hub for enabling collaborations, teaching and sharing of research, ideas and practice to create impact and facilitate more effective management, commercialisation of innovation and the development of effective policy. The Centre's researchers regularly publish in top quality journals, present at international conferences and undertake consultancy for national and international policy-making bodies and research for influential think tanks.

Its roles are to:

• engage with academics, students, policy-makers and other stakeholders in current debates,
• disseminate the results of research undertaken by the Centre’s academics, students and visitors, through reports, journal articles, seminars and conferences,
• undertake research consultancy on topical issues,
• showcase undergraduate and postgraduate teaching on the management of innovation by members of the Centre.
• involve alumni in the Centre’s activities
• engage with industry to investigate innovative processes, policies and practices.

Some of the Centre's research is carried out through formally funded research projects, and in interaction with various research networks it hosts or participates in.
