Description |
The project has examinee industrial transformation in small and medium-sized towns. We analyzed how these processes play out at the firm/sector level and how they affect communities (workers, families, civic society, etc.). We focussed on current crises such as Covid-19 and its impact on industrial culture, innovation dynamics and community response. We conducted case studies in Switzerland and utilized qualitative and participatory research methods. The project was funded through the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Slowenian National Science Foundation and we cooperated with our Slovenian research partners from the Anton Melik Geographical Institute in Ljubljana. |
