Community innovation statistics: Fourth Community Innovation Survey (CIS 4) and European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) 2006

This publication first outlines the overall results of the European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) 2006, and then takes a closer look at each of the seven indicators. Seven of the 25 indicators analysed in the EIS 2006 are based on data from the Community Innovation Survey (CIS). The European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) is a statistical instrument developed by the European Commission to evaluate the innovation efforts undertaken by the EU Member States and to make them comparable.
