Dr. Frédérique Bone

Frédérique Bone (born Lang) is a senior researcher at the emerging technologies department of the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI in Karlsruhe, Germany, since 2022. She worked on understanding the development of innovative biotech research projects through academic entrepreneurship during her PhD at BETA in the University of Strasbourg, which she completed in 2014. From 2014 to 2022, she worked as a researcher in the Science Policy research Unit (SPRU), in the University of Sussex (UK). There she worked on several projects, looking at research dynamics, technological change in the biomedical sector, and more recently in Artificial Intelligence. In these projects she used both quantitative methods, such as bibliometrics, text mining analysis as well as qualitative methods  (independently or as a mix). In 2021-2022, she did a secondment at a research funder, the Medical Research Council (UK) in order to reflect on the research evaluation practice in their research institutes. At Sussex she also taught courses on research methods and data science for innovation. Since joining Fraunhofer ISI, she is working on projects relating to the transformations of the healthcare system (digital and sustainability transformation) using the lens of transition theory, as well evaluation of research organisations, or technology transfer processes in the bioeconomy. She is currently a associate researcher at SPRU, University of Sussex (UK) and BETA, University of Strasbourg (France).
