<br>
<br>The conference builds on and deepens the directions proposed by the 2017 
<br>Vienna EUSPRI conference 
<br> and 
<br>focuses on new practices and new policies for research and innovation. 
<br>These new challenges for the governance of STI policies also develop in 
<br>a context where impacts become a political leitmotiv, raising the issue 
<br>of the relevance of policy frames and approaches.
<br>
<br>*Five main themes for the conference*
<br>
<br>* /New governance/: the question about the governance of STI policy (new 
<br>players, new processes and new instruments) should be enlarged  by 
<br>reopening the question of the continuing relevance of this amalgamation, 
<br>by discussing ‘policy mixes’, and by questioning the importance of the 
<br>context (in particular for non-OECD countries).
<br>
<br>* /New space of innovation policy/: the question of which conditions are 
<br>innovation policies framed and operated in a knowledge-based society ; 
<br>discussing the role of civil society organisations, the inclusion of 
<br>‘new’ values in innovation processes (focusing on RRI and 
<br>inclusiveness), and types of innovation other than S&T driven innovation.
<br>
<br>*/New understanding of globalization/:  Re-eamine the multiple facets 
<br>and effects of the globalisation of knowledge and innovation, beyond the 
<br>dynamics of multinational firms : new geography of knowledge and 
<br>innovation; structural impacts of absolute advantages; new frames and 
<br>new non-governmental actors for regulating international trade; or new 
<br>non governmental actors supporting research.
<br>
<br>* /New challenges for renewed research orientations: /situate//the 
<br>debates on “societal challenges” in perspective with the historical 
<br>‘mission-oriented’ and ‘sectoral’ innovation policies, which have 
<br>developed todays’ portfolio of instruments. Examine the need for 
<br>systemic approaches, like in transition studies, dealing with climate 
<br>change and energy. How do similar approaches work with agricultural or 
<br>health challenges, and what types of transition dynamics are at stake 
<br>and what are their policy implications?
<br>
<br>/* Market, users, citizens: /The conference will offer the possibility 
<br>to deepen our knowledge of on-going citizen and user-driven economic and 
<br>societal changes coined by such ‘umbrella terms’ as DIY society, the 
<br>sharing economy, crowd sourcing or political consumption; and to discuss 
<br>their implications about the relation between societal change and 
<br>innovation and the potential implication for innovation policies.
<br>
<br>In each theme, we will  focus on the need for original knowledge to 
<br>understand changes in the policy instruments and public policies, 
<br>focussing on the large diversity of phenomena and results and their 
<br>meaning as well as the roleof contexts. We also focus on methodologies, 
<br>relevant indicators, and research arrangements that allow to better 
<br>position, characterise and follow these on-going dynamics. Finally, 
<br>discussions are open on all important themes for the field, such as the 
<br>evaluation and impact of STI policies, innovation ecosystems, funding or 
<br>infrastructures. Open-ended sessions will be opened repsonding to the 
<br>needs of colleagues attending the Conference.
<br>
<br>
