INNOVA MEASURE V WORKSHOP (Part II)

Towards a sustainable and inclusive economy

Composite Indicators

The INNOVA projects support the work of the Directorate-General for Research & Innovation (R&I) of the European Commission by providing a continuous assessment of country innovation performance and producing policy-relevant evidence on the contributions and drivers of science, technology and innovation. The currently ongoing INNOVA V project (2021-2023) focuses on three interrelated research streams including: 

i) the development, refinement and update of the methodologies concerning composite indicators and dashboards measuring R&I performance of EU Member States (MSs) and selected benchmark countries; 

(ii) the analysis of the development of green and digital technologies in the EU and the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the knowledge diffusion underlying these innovations; and 

(iii) the assessment of the contribution of advanced digital technologies to the achievement of Societal Development Goals (SDGs). 

The aim of the workshop is to present and receive feedback on the ongoing studies, exchange and share knowledge among experts, and discuss venues for future research in these domains.
