General Contact Jeanette Hvarregaard DRUID Secretary
DRUID is associated with the journal Industry and Innovation, published by Routledge. Currently in its 19th year and with 8 annual issues, Industry and Innovation's 2010 impact factor in Thomson Reuters' Social Science Citation Index was 1.83, 40/304 (Economics), 49/140 (Management). Industry and Innovation has a global editorial board of distinguished innovation scholars and publishes high-quality original scholarship on tendencies in industrial dynamics, such as the emergence of new industries; restructuring of existing industries; rise of new institutional and organizational forms; globalization; and other aspects of geographical organization.

A brief history - and a few plans for the futureDRUID was established in 1995, based on a generous funding from the Danish Social Science Research Council (SSF) and the Danish Ministry of Industry. During first phase of operation (DRUID I: 1996-2001) the essential infrastructure and co-coordinated research program was put in place, based on research groups from Copenhagen Business School (CBS) and Aalborg University (AAU). Individual researchers from the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) and Aarhus School of Business (ASB) also joined. Gradually DRUID evolved into a "hub" of a large international network in industrial dynamics supported by two annual conferences and an internationally well-recognized electronic working paper series. The DRUID Winter Conference was designed to provide an opportunity for DRUID PhD students, as well as for PhD students from the international network, to present their work to peers, DRUID senior faculty and invited international merited scholars, who have been invited to present their work in plenary sessions. The DRUID Summer conference became devoted to a specific theme of interest to DRUID. The two conferences continue to be central components of DRUID's activities.
This basic structure was consolidated, the doctoral training program developed and the international network extended during DRUID II (2002-2004). A targeted program was put in place to attract internationally recognized female scholars to help provide role models for the increasing number of female PhD scholars entering the previously almost exclusively male research field of industrial dynamics. DRUID became part of the board and faculty of ESSID: The European Summer School of Industrial Dynamics on Corse (France), and started to be invited to send faculty and doctoral students in their final years to present their work at CCC: The US Consortium for Cooperation and Competition, which include Berkeley, Carnegie-Mellon, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Michigan, NYU, Stanford, Northwester, Wharton, Duke, among others. More efforts were also placed in encouraging and supporting junior faculty in the DRUID network when attempting to publish internationally. The activities were financially assisted by donations from the current Danish Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs, the Danish Social Science Research Council (SSF) and by the Danish Research Training Council (FUR) but it became increasingly clear that the continued expansion of DRUID's activities and the ongoing increase in their quality and depth would be severely curtailed if continuously relying on such ad-hoc funding. Consequentially, negotiations were initiated and successfully completed with AAU and CBS who agreed to co-finance DRUID's infrastructure as a cross-university and cross-departmental research unit.
DRUID III (2005-2007) was thus well equipped to celebrate its 10th anniversary in June 2005 with its largest and most ambitious conference so far. DRUID's international exposure and research visibility increased by the subsequent publication of several special issues of high-end journals and books from recognized scientific publishers. The introduction of a double blind review process for all unsolicited conference submissions - based on DRUID's initial corps of more than 75 dedicated external reviewers - helped further maintain and further improve the overall quality of the sessions. The annual DRUID prizes and plaudits for best papers were well accepted and the effort of the DRUID advisory board during the selection process helped augment their status in the community. The Danish Ministry of Research assisted financially by annual donations to DRUID's basic activities. The founding editor of the journal Industry and innovation, suggested that DRUID took over the editorship and the hand-over was completed and a new DRUID editor appointed with Routledge as publisher. DRUID was from the very beginning part of establishing the European network on the Dynamics of Institutions and Markets in Europe (DIME), which was recognized and sponsored by the European Union's 6th Framework Program for research as a network of excellence. DIME now consist of more than 150 scholars from over 50 universities throughout Europe, working on the economic and social consequences of increasing globalization and the rise of the knowledge economy. Beyond being part of the research program, DRUIDs are serving on the executive committee and chairing the Governing Board of DIME.
During DRUID IV (2008-2010) a number of new initiatives are planned to support and enhance the research program, including biannual highly targeted workshops co-organized by DRUID and Stanford University (SCANCOR) - the first to be held during the spring of 2008. DRUID has offered to host the CCC annual colloquium in 2009 and a prominent member of DRUID is the local organizer of the upcoming International Joseph Alois Schumpeter Society's meeting to be held back-to-back with the DRUID Summer Conference 2010. Much effort is presently put into the planning and organization of DRUID's 25th Celebration Conference to be held at Copenhagen Business School June 17-20, 2008. Internally, the research program is strengthened, as the research group on Strategic Organization Design from SDU has become part of DRUID IV.
