Benchmarking national innovation systems and RTD-policy learning in Europe

 

Consequences and recommendations for industrial and technology policies in the wake of the Danish EU Presidency.

 

Opening remarks by Bengt-Åke LUNDVALL.

 

Nikolaos KASTRINOS, European Commission, DG RTD: Benchmarking science, technology and RTD policy at the European level

 directions for Danish RTD policy - what impact from international

 benchmarking?

 

Jens NYHOLM, Ministry of Economics and Industry: New directions in Danish  growth promoting policies - what impact from international benchmarking?

 

Followed by 45 minutes debate on policy issues of concern to members of the audience and on three specific questions:

·        What lessons can Europe learn from US RTD-policy?

·        How should cross national benchmarking be designed in order to take into account the systemic character of innovation and avoid naive copying of so-called 'best-practise'?

·        How should the process of cross national benchmarking be organised in order to promote the open method of co-ordination at the European level in the field of innovation and competence building?

1CISTEMA (Center for Inter-disciplinary studies in Technology Management) is a research consortium consisting of researchers and research teams within the field of Management of Technology at Copenhagen Business School. CISTEMA was established in 1993 and has recently received new funding from the Danish Social Science Research Council for a 3-year period. CISTEMA is headed by Jens Frøslev Christensen who is also member of the DRUID board. At present CISTEMA is providing financial support for research projects on scientification of technological development (Finn Valentin), knowledge externalities and appropriability (Lee Davis) and corporate management of technology in the ”old” and ”new economy (Jens Frøslev Christensen, Volker Mahnke)
