
 European
 2006 European Regional Innovation Scoreboard
 FP6 INNOV Projects
 IRE working groups, IRC, …
 National

ARISE
Methodologies and tools to evaluate impact of regional innovation policies
 Common : vocabulary, strategies, indicators?
 Beyond regional contexts : shared objectives?
 Assessment :





ex ante/ex post
quantitative/qualitative
efficiency/effectiveness
SWOT/impact
content/context
 Toolbox : 12 subsets of indicators (total nb = 300+)
 Indicators criteria :





theoretical validity
availability
empirical reliability
comparability
relevance

ARISE
Open (and sometimes baffling) questions about RIS indicators
 Collecting the data : the risk of « survey fatigue »
 Validity : more funds for R&D? sleeping patents?
desperate start-ups?
 Commitment of regions over time : one-shot or regular
basis?
 Sector-based indicators : R&D in biotechs vs R&D in
construction
 Long time periods and fresh data are of the essence :
slow innovations (laser) and innovation policies (clusters),
rapid obsolescence of consumer products
 Basket or agregate ? Boil down to a limited set of
indicators for policy makers?

DO RIS MEASUREMENTS, INDICATORS,
BENCHMARKING MEASURE UP?
page 12
 Clusters as elusive collective objects :
perimeter (fractal-like) and themes (transverse)
 « Think collectively » dogma and one-size-fits-all approach:
where do solo innovators, mavericks, niche markets fit in
the RIS ?
 Innovation as an emergent phenomenon
 Innovative milieu : beyond content and context
(confidence index, risk taking, cohesiveness and trust)
 Systemic approach (feedback loops and relations)
will not make up for mediocre research
