The European Commission’s Competence Centre on Composite Indicators and Scoreboards (COIN) at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra has been invited to audit the GII for the 11th consecutive year.

As in previous editions, the present JRC-COIN audit focuses on the statistical soundness of the multilevel structure of the index as well as on the impact of key modeling assumptions on the results.

The independent statistical assessment of the GII provided by the JRC-COIN guarantees the transparency and reliability of the index for both policymakers and other stakeholders, thus facilitating more accurate priority setting and policy formulation in the innovation field.
