To support countries in reforming their research and innovation systems, the Directorate-General for Research & Innovation (DG RTD) of the European Commission set up a Policy Support Facility (PSF) under the European Framework Programme for Research & Innovation ‘Horizon 2020’. It aimed to support Member States and associated countries in improving their national science, technology and innovation systems.

The R&I Observatory country report 2017 provides a brief analysis of the R&I system covering the economic context, main actors, funding trends & human resources, policies to address R&I challenges, and R&I in national and regional smart specialisation strategies. Data are from Eurostat, unless otherwise referenced, and are correct as at January 2018. Data used from other international sources are also correct to that date. The report provides a state-of-play and analysis of the national level R&I system and its challenges, to support the European Semester.

The Background Report provides an overview of the Bulgarian science, research and innovation system in the context of the Specific Support to Bulgaria within the Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility.

This report builds on the exchange of experiences and mutual learning of 13 countries: Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden and Switzerland. It provides an overview of various challenges of Open Science implementation across Europe as discussed throughout several meetings in 2017.

The main purpose of evaluation is to deliver policy intelligence, providing accountability, learning, and guidance. Evaluating public policies is a necessary step because any government intervention can only be justified if it has a complementary and positive effect, which would not have taken place without the policy. Even if there is evidence from some countries having started to monitor and assess their innovation-related procurement activities, we are still far from a common strategic framework for the practice of innovation-related procurement. In this report, we provide a conceptual framework for measuring and evaluating innovation-related procurement, defining the key concepts and the dimensions considered within it. The report also specifies the indicators that could best help to measure the key dimensions considered in the previous framework.

This report sets out the rationale for financing in support of innovation related procurement and considers the framework conditions necessary for successful financing mechanisms. It concludes with several recommendations arising from the MLE process and includes national profiles summarising the different approaches taken at a national level. The Topic C MLE process concluded that there is a clear rationale for financing for innovation related procurement in the context of the overall policy framework, be it at a national or EC level.
