Emerging markets play an increasingly important role for the global economy. Consequently, these regions have come to attract significant attention from academics around the globe. Academic research can significantly aid in furthering our understanding and promoting economic and social development in emerging markets. While some countries, e.g. the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), have already made significant progress in developing local research ecosystems, others, for example in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, only recently have begun their efforts. However, the development of thriving research ecosystems of global excellence is a challenging task which requires deep understanding of the underlying social and institutional processes: the development of a local research community and its struggle for legitimacy in the local ecosystem, the creation of connections between the local and global research ecosystem, and the struggle for legitimacy of local research in the global research ecosystem. Understanding these processes is important for actors who aim to develop thriving research ecosystems and for young scholars in emerging markets. This PDW aims to share best practices of research ecosystem development in emerging markets with examples from the BRIC countries and the MENA region. Based on these examples, PDW participants will develop new insights and recommendations on how to develop local research ecosystems and “close the gap” to the global research ecosystem. This PDW will also aid young scholars in emerging markets to plan the trajectories of their academic careers. This PDW has two modules: a panel discussion and an interactive workshop.
