Level 4 — Research

Applied research & doctoral tracks

Without accreditation, ADALIA does not grant doctorates — and owns that. ADALIA and OSE provide the research field and the scientific supervision; the doctoral degree itself is awarded by an accredited partner university.

Objective

To produce scientific knowledge on Africa's entrepreneurial ecosystems, from the living data of the Observatory, and to feed the OSE framework in return.

The research themes

  1. 01
    The five layers as a research programme

    Each layer — technical, cognitive, relational, symbolic, psychological — opens its own research questions.

  2. 02
    Africa's entrepreneurial ecosystems

    Studying, comparing and modelling the continent's ecosystems on OSE Expert data.

  3. 03
    The partner doctoral track

    ADALIA-OSE provide the field and the scientific supervision; the accredited partner university carries the enrolment and the degree.

  4. 04
    Publication & dissemination

    The work feeds OSE's publications and the INNODAYS.

What it brings

  • A unique research field — the living data of the Observatory
  • ADALIA-OSE scientific supervision
  • A doctoral degree awarded by an accredited partner university
  • A contribution to the scientific framework of entrepreneurial ecosystems

ADALIA does not grant doctorates: the doctoral degree is awarded by an accredited partner university. ADALIA and OSE provide the research field and the scientific supervision.
