Ghent, 19-21 September 2016
INFORMING SCIENCE AND INNOVATION POLICIES: TOWARDS THE NEXT GENERATION OF DATA AND INDICATORS Every 10 years the OECD Blue Sky Forum engages the policy community, data users and providers into an open dialogue to review and develop its long-term agenda on science, technology and innovation indicators. This event is known as the “OECD Blue Sky Forum”. Blue Sky 2016 welcomes original submissions that showcase examples of data and indicator development with the potential for international adoption, as well as examples of ground-breaking application of existing or new sources, addressing questions and providing evidence on the state of science and innovation systems and the role of STI policies worldwide. Academic contributions with clear policy relevance are encouraged, but submissions may also include concept papers outlining possible strategies for STI data collection, measurement and quality improvements, formulate user needs or specify potential initiatives by policy makers and administrators that can support the infrastructure for the analysis of science and innovation phenomena.
