A new role for EU research and innovation in the benefit of citizens

Towards an open and transformative R&I policy

Metadata for publikationen

The EU invests substantially into the supply side of R&I, in particular through Horizon 2020 and Structural Funds, but what is missing is an explicit long-term strategy guiding these instruments. As a consequence, impacts remain unclear and disconnected from broader policy objectives. Instead of this instruments-centred approach to R&I policy, RISE suggest to go for an open and transformative R&I policy, based on an approach that is on the one hand tightly connected to political ambitions of the EU, and on the other hand sensitive and open to ongoing changes in the economy, in particular new forms of disruptive innovations and associated new business models. In other words, the supply side of R&I policy needs to be more mission-oriented, further enhancing the ambitions of Horizon 2020, while the demand-side of needs to be smarter and allow disruptive innovations to reach out to the single market. To achieve this, three complementary inroads are suggested. First of all, partnership for innovation should be concluded between DG RTD and other policy DGs, in order to better link and coordinate the supply of and the demand for R&I. Secondly, R&I funding should move from supporting individual projects to tackling major challenges and enabling disruptive innovation. This will require on the one hand larger-scale, sustained and coherent R&I investments in coherent mission-oriented project bundles at both European and national levels, and on the other hand the creation of institutional spaces where open science and open innovation can meet and interact. Thirdly, with a view to enabling change to happen, policies and regulations at European and national level should be scrutinized with regard to their facilitating or hindering impact on disruptive innovations.
