Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Contemporary societies are described as knowledge societies and knowledge economies, emphasizing the crucial role of knowledge. While the importance of knowledge is widely recognized, major controversies exist about the ways to support production, distribution and use of knowledge. Should public policy support research and innovation that increases economic competitiveness, solves societal problems or allows scientists to pursue their creative ideas? How should policy-makers distribute resources among universities, research groups and companies? Should policy encourage competition or cooperation among researchers and innovators? How criteria for research excellence and relevance are defined? And how research and innovation policies at local, national, regional and global levels interact?This seminar on research and innovation policies aims to provide a reflexive understanding of the role that public policy plays in supporting knowledge production and circulation. It will address long-standing debates in research and innovation policy such as relationship between self-governance and steering as well as recent developments such as focus on ideas like Grand Challenges and Responsible Research and Innovation.
