Research themes:
Collaboration & Knowledge Co-creation

Joaquín is tenured scientist at INGENIO (CSIC-UPV). He develops research in Science, Technology and Innovation Studies. His main topics include university-industry interaction, university inventions, regional absorptive capacity and the local impact of university research. He publishes in journals such as The Journal of Technology Transfer, Research Evaluation, Research Policy or Scientometrics.

With a strong background on quantitative techniques, Joaquín is progressively moving towards qualitative and mixed-method research. He has led several projects as principal investigator. He has worked at the EC Joint Research Centre, where he managed one European contract with an international research consortium. He has completed stays abroad in centres like BETA (Strasbourg), CWTS (Leiden) or GREThA (Bordeaux). He has organised international events like the 2018 Technology Transfer Society Conference.

Joaquín has collaborated regularly with firms, foundations and public administrations. He has led a contract for the European Commission (Identification of H2020 potential partners for two Portuguese regions in Manufacturing and Circular Economy) and contributed to numerous reports. He has written seven articles in magazines or blogs (e.g. Research Europe, University-Industry Innovation Magazine, Nada es gratis o El País), and has been interviewed and imparted seminars for non-academic audiences. One of Joaquín’s objectives today is to vindicate the importance of unconventional knowledge diffusion channels that link academia and society, such as art and fiction.

Joaquín has supervised several PhD students, research introductory grantees and research stay visitors. He has taught for PhD programmes, training seminars and workshops. He has also been involved in the support to university spin-offs at the UPV. He cares about researchers’ motivations and happiness, and part of his present research effort points in this direction.
