Markus Simeth 

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Strategy and Innovation (SI) at Copenhagen Business School (CBS). My research focuses on innovation management and strategy, with particular interest in R&D collaboration, intellectual property rights, corporate science and R&D disclosures, knowledge worker mobility, and the financing of innovation. My research has been published in leading academic journals, including Management Science, Research Policy, and the Journal of Corporate Finance, and has been generously supported by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF). 

I also serve as an Executive Board Member and Treasurer of the EPIP Association, an independent, non-profit scholarly organization dedicated to advancing research and policy on intellectual property rights. Additionally, I am a Research Fellow at the Danish Finance Institute (DFI).

At CBS, I am the Study Director of the MSc program in Business Administration and Bioentrepreneurship (cand. merc. BIO), and teach courses across bachelor, master, and PhD levels in innovation management, strategy, and entrepreneurship.  

I hold a PhD in Management of Technology from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Before joining CBS, I worked as an Assistant Professor at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) from 2015 - 2017 and as a Post-doctoral Fellow (funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation) at KU Leuven from 2014 to 2015. In the spring term 2023, I conducted research visits at IE Business School Madrid and Pompeu Fabra University Barcelona.
