  1. Evaluation of the Implementation of the European Union Structural Funds 2007 - 2013 Peer Review Workshop,Tallin, 17. Aug 2011 Per M. Koch Head of the Science Policy Project PERSONAL VIEWS AND ASSESMENTS!

  2. Plus side • An advanced systemic view of research and innovation among policy makers • As in all countries: Hard to reconcile this with policy planning and organization • Education policies are at least partly integrated into the research and innovation policies • The role of the public sector is considered • The universities have been encouraged to university-university collaboration. • There is more interaction between companies and universities. • Infrastructure has been upgraded, also as an effect of SF.

  3. Selected challenges • Low productivity in industry • Low R&D intensity in industry • Weak mirroring between industrial structure and research system, incl. strong high tech orientation of policies • Policies do not always reflect the interaction in the innovation system • Difficulties in attracting foreign experts • Policy coordination on ministerial level • Coordination on instrument level

  4. How to make industry more knowledge intensive • Understanding the historical trajectories. This is about culture, not only a rational implementation of policy instruments. • Estonia inherited the Soviet system. No consideration for the needs of Estonian industries. • Sweden: Corporative state-industry relationship gives high tech slant • Norway: Ad hoc development of applied research institutions for existing industries gives low tech orientation • Students as policy makers • The role of research institutes Knowledge≠Research

  5. New challenges in innovation policies • Innovation polices encompassing • the dominant service sector • public sector innovation • non-technological disciplines like the social sciences, the humanities and the arts (But not only as alternatives to manufacturing. Look at the interplay between these areas and manufacturing) • innovation culture (cp. The Nordic Model) • the role of education and absorptive capacity • policy learning

  6. The innovation policy capacity of industry • The innovation policy studies of TEKNA. • The need for strong industry branch organizations that can • stimulate member companies • become a policy partner for ministries • establish research units for their own industry

  7. There is no learning hierarchy THE PUBLIC Ministries Agencies MEDIA Parliament NGOs and stakeholders Policy learning arena Consultants Researchers Students INDUSTRY CIVIL SOCIETY
