The EU's stagnation on many innovation indicators led to a number of efforts to spur a turnaround. One of most visible projects has been the Horizon 2020 strategy, which devotes unprecedented levels of funding to the promotion of R&D and innovation. But does this strategy address the right issues to promote innovation? Is Horizon 2020 right to ignore geographical considerations when allocating funding? What policy instruments does Horizon 2020 recommend, and has it led to novel strategies being employed, beyond the increase in R&D funding? What steps are individual countries taking? Most importantly, what impact is Horizon 2020 actually having on innovation in the EU? A series of articles: + Reinhilde Veugelers and Michele Cincera: How to Turn on the Innovation Growth Machine in Europe + Rainer Frietsch, Christian Rammer and Torben Schubert: Heterogeneity of Innovation Systems in Europe and Horizon 2020 + Anita Pelle: Mind the Gap: Arguments in Favour of Judicious Constructivism in Providing Horizon for All + Andrea Renda: Europe and Innovation: Is 2020 on the Horizon? + Carlos Montalvo and Jos Leijten: Is the Response to the Climate Change and Energy Challenge a Model for the Societal Challenges Approach to Innovation? |
