About INNO-Grips

Submitted by empirica on 28 November, 2011 - 23:12

This newsletter is an INNO-Grips publication. INNO-Grips stands for “Global Review of Innovation Policy Studies”. It supports policy-makers in adopting appropriate responses to emerging innovation needs, trends and phenomena. It analyses framework conditions and barriers and drivers to innovation and innovation policy, and offers intelligence on international developments in these fields.

INNO-Grips is part of the European Commission’s PRO INNO Europe portal, a focal point for innovation policy analysis and cooperation. INNO-Grips has two strands of activity. One concentrates on innovation policy (this newsletter is part of this strand), the other conducts economic studies of framework conditions, barriers and drivers to innovation.
