Dear colleagues,

On behalf of Industry and Innovation, we would like to bring to your attention the latest two issues published in the journal. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Issue #7 is a Special Issue dedicated to the Twin (digital and green) transition and its economic and social challenges. This Special Issue has been co-edited by Dario Diodato, Elena Huergo, Pietro Moncada-Paternò-Castello, Francesco Rentocchini, and Bram Timmermans. Beyond the Editorial in which the Guest Editors summarize the Special Issue and outline an agenda for future research on the topic, you will find a solid collection of seven papers covering topics related to the antecedents and/or implications of the digital and green transitions. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Issue #8 includes a diverse set of five articles covering topics on transformative, mission-oriented policy instruments, the role of learning by Doing, Using, and Interacting (DUI) in innovation, and the impacts of automation and robotization in labor markets and households. <o:p></o:p>
