The EU-funded project I3U is now evaluating the achievements to date of each policy action, with emphasis on their effects on innovation, the economy and job creation.
Their research will include:
- collecting data and identifying the mechanisms of innovation
- estimating the impact of innovation policies by using theoretical and econometric modelling techniques
- developing a conceptual model of the innovation system, leading to a reference tool for analysing the impact of the Innovation Union
- assessments of the economic effects of Innovation Union at European, national and regional levels
