Policy Analysis

General Description

The “policy analysis” pillar contains five building blocks, each of them addressing a specific objective:

  • Benchmarking of innovation performance (INNO Metrics)
  • Analysis of major innovation trends (INNO Policy TrendChart)
  • Referencing of innovation programme evaluations and impact assessments (INNO Appraisal)
  • Pooling of world-wide knowledge on innovation policy and business innovation (INNO Grips).
  • Facilitate dialogue between public authorities, industry and academia on innovation policy (INNO-Views)

Objectives

The main objectives of the “policy analysis” pillar are to measure and benchmark innovation performance; analyse innovation policy trends at national and regional level; develop a culture in evaluation and impact assessment of innovation programmes in Europe; and bring together available worldwide information on innovation issues from policy, business and academia.
