Implementing the NIS Approach in Policy Making
TIP Workshop - OECD, PARIS, 11-12 JUNE 2001
PROGRAMME
Objectives of the Workshop:
The Workshop has two main objectives:
i) to compare the experience of OECD countries in implementing the National Innovation Systems (NIS) approach in innovation and technology policy making;
ii) to draw lessons from initiatives at the regional, national and international level to benchmark innovation policies and thereby facilitate the implementation of policies according to the NIS approach.
The Workshop should also help prepare the discussion at the TIP meeting on the follow-up to the NIS project, under Item 7 of the draft agenda, as well as contribute to the preparation of the Vienna Conference on National Innovation Systems on 15-16 October 2001.
