32nd ANPAD Symposium of Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship
SITE 2024

Stelvia is a Reader (Associate Professor) in Social Innovation & Sustainability Management and Head of the Centre for Social Innovation Management at Surrey Business School. Her research focuses on understanding the complex interactions among social, environmental and economic factors, and how they affect and are affected by innovation dynamics, entrepreneurial behaviour and policy development. This includes the difficult process of responding to technological and social change through innovation, which can be conceptualized as a panacea and paradox - a main driver of social improvement but also the cause of many problems faced by society.

Stelvia’s roles as co-editor-in-chief of Technovation, Head of the CSIM and publication track record has allowed her to develop a strong reputation within the international academic community. She has been invited to be part of the senior editorial board of a reputable Brazilian Journal and she is often invited to participate as a keynote at conferences and workshops organized by top Brazilian and Chinese academic institutions such as USP, FGV, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
