Edited by Jakob Edler, Managing Director, Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Germany and Professor of Innovation Policy and Strategy, University of Manchester, UK, Mireille Matt, Senior Research Scientist, French National Institute for Research on Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE), France, Wolfgang Polt, Formerly Director of POLICIES, Joanneum Research, Austria and Matthias Weber, Head, Center for Innovation Systems and Policy, AIT (Austrian Institute of Technology), Austria and Professor of Innovation Policy, Université Gustave Eiffel, France<i>‘This volume is a huge contribution to the important debate on mission-oriented Science Technology and Innovation policies. While a lot of ink has been shed in support of mission-oriented policies to address societal challenges, there is really very little guidance on implementation. Until now. This volume is a must-read for both experts and students of science, technology and innovation policy.’ </i>
- Nicholas Vonortas, The George Washington University, Washington DC, USA,
<i>‘There is no shortage of books on science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy, but there is a conspicuous void of exceptional scholarship on this topic. This book is an assemblage of eminent researchers who have ably shared their insights on the transformative nature of STI policy. A must-read for all who seek a well-grounded perspective.’</i>
- Albert N. Link, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA,
Taking a fresh look at these mission-oriented policies and the scale of ambition with large-scale transformations of entire socio-technical systems, this combination of thinking allows for a greater understanding of not only the approach but also the prerequisites and challenges faced. Using detailed analysis, this book allows for enhanced learning and conclusions for the application of these policies in a variety of diverse contexts. The expert contributors offer a stimulus to the existing debates and learnings to enable a better handling of the ongoing political and practical challenges that come with adopting this approach.
This engaging book is an excellent resource for scholars of science, technology and innovation policy, policy analysis and political and governance sciences. It will also be an enlightening read for national and regional policy makers responsible for implementing large-scale change across policy areas such as energy, health, transport and climate-related policies.
