INCHER colloquium: Innovation, tranformation and the role of the state

INCHER Research Colloquium
Professor Dr. Jakob Edler (Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Karlsruhe, and Manchester Institute of Innovation Research [MIoIR], University of Manchester, UK)

In recent years, the role of the state regarding the key transformations of our economy and society has been discussed very intensively. This has led to a shift in research and innovation policy towards so-called "mission-orientation". This basically means that research and innovation policy instruments should be designed in such a way that knowledge and innovation contribute to achieving concrete economic and social goals ("missions") - a further development of the state's intervention logic in research and innovation policy. My talk will discuss this development and its particular challenges on a conceptual level, also addressing the possible consequences of a mission-orientation for research organizations and funding agencies.
