This discussion paper is the background document for participants in the European Commission seminar on country-specific activities under the Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility. The EC’s DG RTD has in-depth experience in providing support to countries to improve the quality and impact of their national research and innovation systems. In addition, international organisations – such as the OECD, World Bank and United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) –conduct exercises with broadly similar aims, but using different methods and acting under different frameworks. This paper provides background information and insights on the various approaches and methods used, as well as discussing challenges to be addressed to improve impact and key issues for the future.

The European Commission held a seminar on country-specific activities under the Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility (PSF) in Brussels on 11 December 2017. The seminar provided a platform to exchange experiences between national authorities, high-level experts working with the PSF, representatives of European countries that benefitted from PSF support, and international organisations involved in reviews of national research and innovation (R&I) systems. Participants examined various methodological approaches with a view to maximising the success and impact of R&I policy support activities. Its results will feed into future European Commission activities in support of R&I policy reforms.

This is one of four thematic reports that will build the basis for the final report of the Mutual Learning Exercise (MLE) on ‘Innovation Procurement’, which is being carried out in 2017 and 2018.
