BENCHMARKING NATIONAL INNOVATION SYSTEMS AND RTD-POLICY LEARNING IN EUROPE
Consequences and recommendations for industrial and technology policies in the wake of the Danish EU Presidency.
Roundtable discussion chaired by Bengt-Åke LUNDVALL
Intro by Luc SOETE, Merit, based on his chairmanship of ETAN-group on
benchmarking: What lessons for benchmarking can be drawn from innovation
theory
David MOWERY, Berkeley University: The rationale of Benchmarking for policy learning in the RTD-area - what can Europe learn from the US experience
Nikolaos KASTRINOS, European Commission, DG XII: Lessons from the European 2001 Conference on Benchmarking
Kim BRINCKMANN, Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation: Benchmarking and policy learning in the fields of RTD policy
Jens NYHOLM, Ministry of Economics and Industry: Benchmarking and Policy learning in the field of growth promoting policies
Followed by one hour debate on three questions:
• What lessons can Europe learn from US RTD-policy?
• How should cross national benchmarking be designed in order to take into account the systemic character of innovation and avoid naive copying of so-called 'best-practise'?
• How should the process of cross national benchmarking be organised in order to promote the open method of co-ordination at the European level in the field of innovation and competence building?
15:00-15:30 Closing the conference
15:30 Departure
