Policy for the knowledge economies
Week 2: Policy for the knowledge economies
Outline of the week
This week will explore the growing role played by Science, Technology and Innovation policies in modern economies, and to which extent their design, implementation and evaluation take into account the specificities of knowledge-based economies. Will notably be emphasized the renewed importance of science policy and the role of universities, the role of policy towards financing hightech startups, the evolution of European policies and the coherence with some other policies addressing social needs and industrial issues.
