New challenges for indicators in science and technology policy-making: a European view

Abstract

Directorate-General XII of the European Union has always supported the integration of different kinds of S&T indicators. This resulted in the publication of the first report of S&T indicators in 1994 and the second one in 1997. Despite major efforts in this second report to bring together all different kinds of S&T input and output indicators at the European, national, regional and even enterprise level, there is still a large gap between the needs of the policy-makers and the existing indicators. Why? There is a well recognised evolution from a ‘linear’ to an ‘integrated’ science and innovation system. This calls for new indicators of connections, interactivity, linkage, in short, for a new family of ‘systemic indicators’. This paper also covers how this evolution is taken into account by key actions at the European level. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
