Abstract
The study of innovation has spread over the last fifty years in an ascending climax of importance. The process of technological innovation has been studied in depth by numerous academic fellows in order to understand how it is composed and on which factors it relies on. From Schumpeter, the innovation pioneer, to Rogers: academics question themselves about the phenomenon that, etymologically, introduces new systems, new orders, new methods. However the question of who conceived the invention of the century regarding his origins, formation and professional career is a much more recent issue. This thesis aims to investigate the correlation between Star Scientists and their professional careers and their education by means of statistical tools such as mainly multivariate regression analysis.
The work is divided into two chronologically different phases: the first phase of information gathering and database creation and the second analysis of data collected through statistical tools such as multivariate regression
