Innovation policy learning: change in thinking - change in doing?
Stockholm, 23-24 May 2006
The 6CP workshop held in Stockholm in spring 2006 tackled the topic of 'Innovation Policy Learning'. Examples of how policy learning - in the form of evaluation, follow-up, foresight, mentorship, etc - has been integrated into policy formulation and policy design were critically assessed. Presentations and discussions reflected on a variety of experiences and explored ways of improving the structures and processes in place to facilitate such learning.
