Innovation: Creating knowledge and jobs
Innovation is a key component of the Europe 2020 strategy aiming at achieving a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The “Innovation Union” is starting to switch from a conceptual idea to a genuine reality focusing on creating knowledge, creating jobs.
In the Seventh Research Framework Programme (FP7), the theme Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities (SSH) supports more than thirty research initiatives in the field of innovation and knowledge economy.
This publication draws upon presentations and discussion from the conference on “Europe 2020 strategy: Innovation insights from European research in socioeconomic sciences” that was held in Brussels on 1 June 2010. This meeting explored the ways in which social sciences research funded under the EU Framework Programme can inform the content and management of European policy initiatives for innovation.
