Do we have the right set of indicators to measure the outcomes and impacts of innovation? To what questions about the impacts of R&D and innovation would policy makers like the data to give an answer? What extra insights on innovation do we gain by linking different surveys and datasets? This workshop to be held in Paris will address these and other questions and discuss the implications for future OECD work in this area.
