KEROSINE stands for Knowledge Economy and Regional Strategies for Organisational and Sustainable Innovation.

KEROSINE is a research project which tries to capture the causes and consequences of the ongoing process of economic globalisation. The main aim is to map the organizational evolution to which the Flemish economy is subjected as a consequence of its insertion in the globalization dynamics. This organizational evolution implies a restructuring of value chains, in which the production of a considerable amount of goods and services is offshored and/or outsourced. The concrete task of the KEROSINE team is to quantify and qualify the evolution and consequences of economic globalisation. An important feature of this research project is also its focus and applicability on the Flemish economy: one of the main goals is to inform relevant and strategic stakeholders in order to give opportunities to strengthen the Flemish economy in a globalised competition.

This project is funded by the Institute for the Promotion of Innovation by Science and Technology in Flanders.
