The European Commission published the results of the European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) for 2024, which assesses the innovation performance of EU Member States and 12 neighbouring countries. The Scoreboard tracks 32 indicators over the past 8 years to understand their framework conditions, investments, innovation activities and impact. 📈💡 Switzerland stands out as an innovation leader, once again securing the top spot, followed by Denmark and Sweden! It shows the consistent strengths of Switzerland in various dimensions such as human resources and attractive research systems. 🥇🔬 🗞 Read our full article on the EIS here: https://lnkd.in/e5dEMd2b #innovation #EU #Switzerland

High Level Expert Group on the interim evaluation of horizon Europe - report delivered ! The launch of the report of the high-level Expert Group on the interim evaluation of #HorizonEurope provided a good occasion to reflect. I’m keenly aware of that in the increasingly competitive global landscape, we must step up our efforts to remain at the forefront of technological and scientific advancements.   This is why research and innovation are central to the EU’s strategy in the upcoming years.   The European Framework Programmes for Research and Innovation have delivered immense value for over 40 years, and every euro invested returns fivefold to society.   The JRC is a part of delivering this return by ensuring sound evidence to base EU policies upon, and the best data and methods to monitor and support implementation.   But, we must continue to adapt and innovate! 📌 We need a strong framework programme to drive EU competitiveness. Fostering stronger synergies across science, industrial competitiveness, societal challenges are key elements of strengthening the EU’s research ecosystem. 📌 The report calls for an adequate Budget: A proposed budget of around €220 billion for the next period is essential to meet future goals. 📌 Radical Simplification & Innovation: The programme needs bold changes, especially in international collaboration and dual-use applications.   I’d like to congratulate the independent high-level expert group who, after a year of extensive consultation and analysis, have provided concrete recommendations for the future of the Framework Programme.   🌍 Together, we can foster a Europe where bold, innovative ideas thrive, driving growth and well-being for all!   #EuropeanInnovation #ResearchAndInnovation #EUCompetitiveness #FutureOfEurope

As member states call on the Commission to do more to enable the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and the European Innovation Council (EIC) to combine their efforts, align strategies and avoid duplication, here's how the two institutions collaborate now: https://lnkd.in/dZSUgFeU

Last week during the European Research & Innovation Days, the "Dashboard of initiatives" of the European Union and African Union Innovation agenda was launched. Through the newly launched Dashboard, projects, programmes, and partnerships actively contribute to the EU-AU agenda. Four policy priorities have emerged for EU-AU cooperation in Research & Innovation: Public Health, Green Transition, Innovation and Technology, and Capacities for Science and Higher Education. By aligning policy efforts with specific actions, the Dashboard facilitates collaboration, reinforces existing initiatives, and propels future collaborations, thus amplifying the impact of the Innovation Agenda.Connect with other AU and EU innovation stakeholders and expand your network! #EUAU#InnovationAgenda#MakingItHappen#RiDaysEU#SAFINET#Health#Wellbeing#Collaboration More information can be found here: https://lnkd.in/d3MWjxY2 https://lnkd.in/dZGbYeT3

The European Commission's report on emerging technologies and disruptive technologies Growing volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity today present major challenges in policymaking. Anticipatory thinking and foresight are of utmost importance to help explore trends, risks and emerging issues, and their potential implications and opportunities in order to draw useful insights for strategic planning, policymaking and preparedness. This report is a part of the project ‘Anticipation and monitoring of emerging technologies and disruptive innovation’ (ANTICIPINNOV), a collaboration between the European Commission Joint Research Centre and the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA). The findings include a set of 106 signals and trends on #emergingtechnologies and #disruptive #innovations across several areas of application. It is based on a review of key reports on technology and innovation signals and trends produced by public and private bodies outside of the EU institutions. Its goal is to strengthen the EIC’s strategic intelligence capacity through the use and development of anticipatory approaches that will - among other goals – support prioritisation in innovation #funding.

🚩 The European Innovation scoreboard 2024 is published! 🇪🇺 What is the EIS The European Innovation Scoreboard provides a comparative assessment of the Research and Innovation performance of EU Member States, other European, and selected third countries. It helps countries assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of their national innovation systems and identify challenges that they need to address. The European Innovation Scoreboard 2024 was released on 8 July 2024. European innovation scoreboard 2024 The European Union's innovation performance as measured by the European Innovation Scoreboard increased by 10% since 2017. Over this period, most EU Member States have increased their innovation performance, although the extent to which they have improved varies strongly. Between 2023 and 2024, the EU's innovation performance improved by 0.5 percentage points. More specifically, innovation performance increased in 15 Member States during this period. However, 11 Member States experienced a decline in innovation performance. Read the full report below! #collabwith #cooperation #collaboration #EU #innovation #entrepeneurship
