The Global Network for Economics of Learning, Innovation, and Competence Building Systems

(Globelics) is an international network of scholars who apply the concept of "learning,

innovation, and competence building system" (LICS) as a framework for promoting inclusive and

sustainable development in developing countries, emerging economies and societies in

transition. The research aims at locating unique systemic features as well as generic good

practices to enlighten policy making relating to innovation, competence building, international

competitiveness, regional development, labor market and human capital development. In an

increasingly global and knowledge-based competition, both management strategies and policy

need to be based upon an understanding of how globalization changes these framework

conditions.
