Innovation policy: What works?

Date: 30.01.2012 10:30 - 13:00

Location: NESTA, 1 Plough Place, London, EC4A 1DE

Governments around the world have implemented a wide range of policies to encourage innovation and stimulate economic growth. Yet the hard evidence of what works where, and why, is often limited and always widely dispersed.

With the support of NESTA, a team at the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research is creating a major new compendium of the evidence of the effectiveness of different innovation policy tools.

To launch this programme of work, we would like to invite you to an expert seminar. This is the first in a series of seminars during 2012, at which the first three reports in the series will be presented for discussion. 

We hope to see you on 30 January 2012, and value your participation in the creation of what we hope will be a transformative aid for policymakers in the UK and abroad, and a valuable academic resource. 

If you are interested in attending the seminar please contact Kirsten Bound at kirsten.bound@nesta.org.uk
