Innovation and dynamics in public research environments in Denmark: a research-policy perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
The theme for this article is dynamic and innovative research environments and the factors that characterise them. The focus is on the relationship between the organisation and management of research, research processes and environmental conditions on the one hand, and research quality and outcomes on the other. The article takes as a point of departure the results of an empirical study of 15 university and other publicsector research environments in Denmark. It identifies the features that characterise the framework of research, research processes, the working and social milieu of research environments and their influence on research in a smaller European country from a researchpolicy perspective. Innovative research environments could serve as references for research agents attempting to promote innovation and further develop a dynamic science base.

متن کاملThe Bright Elusive Butterfly of Value in Health Technology Development; Comment on “Providing Value to New Health Technology: The Early Contribution of Entrepreneurs, Investors, and Regulatory Agencies”
The current system of health technology development is characterised by multiple misalignments. The “supply” side (innovation policy-makers, entrepreneurs, investors) and the “demand” side (health policy-makers, regulators, health technology assessment, purchasers) operate under different – and conflicting – logics. The system is less a “pathway” than an unstable ecosystem of multiple interacti...
