Dr. Tim Vorley

Tim will be in the Department for four years and contributes to the core teaching of the Geography Tripos. He was previously at Said Business School, Oxford University.

Tim Vorley is a University Lecturer in Economic Geography, and his primary research interests are innovation, knowledge exchange, and entrepreneurship. Specifically his work focuses on two broad themes. Firstly he is interested in institutional changes in higher education under the auspices of the so-called "Third Mission", and the engagement of universities with the economy and society. Secondly his work examines the geographies of entrepreneurship focusing on the dynamics of SMEs in Europe and the effects of public policy across multiple scales. As a geographer the importance of place and spatiality are intrinsic to much of his work and thinking.

Economic geographies of science, innovation, enterprise and entrepreneurship

The report is the result of research and interviews with over 350 entrepreneurs from the ICT sector across Europe. 'It was immediately apparent that much innovation policy was developed in a piecemeal way with no holistic vision of how the different policy instruments worked together,' commented Dr Tim Vorley of the University of Cambridge in the UK, who led the research along with Dr Tim Round of the UK's University of Birmingham.
