Science for policy in a transformative policy context
JRC Working Paper Series For a Fair, Innovative and Sustainable Economy, 11/2024
The evolving policy-making landscape demands a new conceptualization of the interaction between policy research and policy context. This is particularly crucial in the realm of transformative innovation policy, which involves a multitude of stakeholders and instruments in its formulation and execution. Moreover, the dynamics of both innovation and science for policy are shaped by the interplay of state, markets, and society, underscoring the need for a fresh and innovative approach. As the landscape of policy research and innovation policy continues to evolve, it becomes increasingly important to reevaluate the science for policy approach. This paper strongly advocates that policy research should no longer function in isolation as a single input into the policy-making process. Instead, it should be integrated as one of several inputs that collectively and iteratively shape innovation policy, thereby strengthening the core argument of the paper.
