The European Inventory of Research and Innovation Policy Measures has been created by the European Commission with the aim of facilitating access to research and innovation policies information within Europe and beyond.
This joint inventory brings together national information and documentation on research and innovation policies, measures and programmes collected and presented by
ERAWATCH and
INNO-PolicyTrendChart. This information is collected and classified according to specific policy guidelines.
The INNO-Policy TrendChart tracks developments in innovation policy measures throughout Europe. An innovation policy measure is defined as any activity that mobilises:
- Resources (financial, human, organisational) through innovation orientated programmes and projects;
- Information (road-mapping, technology diffusion activities, coordination) which is geared towards innovation activities;
- Institutional processes (legal acts, regulatory rules) designed to explicitly influence environment for innovation.
At the same time, it must achieve public policy objectives in the area of innovation:
- With a percentage of (national) public funding;
- On a continuing basis (usually not a one-off 'event');
- Where the target group or eligible participants include enterprises.
The overview table below gives in indication of the number of policy measures per country and category and provides a quick one-click access to all measures in one country in a particular category.
The innovation policy measures for each individual country are also accessible via the country pages, which provide a single gateway for all information held byt the INNO-Policy TrendChart about individual countries.
If you are looking for a specific type of measure, you can use the multi-criteria search function which enables you to search for measures from one or more countries corresponding to one or more criteria.
