Analysis of research landscapes & policy advice

Starting point for the activation of national and/ or regional innovation potential is always an analysis of the current innovation performance, as well as of relevant structural elements, such as the patent system, funding, technology transfer and scientific excellence.

Using macroeconomic analyses, large-scale surveys and studies, expert panels and scientific research, our team creates “innovation maps” to identify existing strengths and weaknesses of the research landscape. Our experts propose and support specific areas for action and the implementation of goal-oriented science policy measures together with relevant policy makers.
