  8. Needsand capacities of information systems In case of knowledge-based economy (2) • Indicator results pertain to the same year • Statistical offices be more innovative • Role of independent organisations be increased • Analysts be more involved • Human resources be developed

  9. Needsand capacities of information systems In case of knowledge-based society • From among 30 indicators 8 are of societal type only • Need for new indicators in the field of • Competent and learning individuals and work communities (5-7 indicators) • Turning ideas into products and services, a new innovation system (8-10 indicators) • Making a human-centric and competitive service society (8-10 indicators)

  10. The main horizon of audit of key indicators • Focus is on R&D programmes only • Perspective of accountability insteadof learningand development perspectives • Shortcomings • Need for effectiveness indicators are not met systemically and analyzed • Decision-making is often not based on relevant R&D evaluation information
