What we do

 

The Economics of Industrial Research & Innovation (IRI) is a scientific project carried out within the Directorate B: Growth and Innovation, one of the seven scientific institutes of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC).

The project aims at providing EU policy-makers, academia, and other institutional and economic actors with robust empirical scientific-sound evidence and analysis on the contribution of private-sector R&D to sustainable competitiveness and "prosperity" in the EU.

This should lead to the elaboration of medium and long-term evidence-based policy options to support the development and implementation of EU policies which considers investment in knowledge and innovation a main driver for achieving a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
