| Contents: | Austria lacks a structural change towards high tech is an often heard warning. In order to reinforce the structural change a total conversion of the innovation system as well as the public support system would be necessary. However, the last years have been shown that the Austrian innovation system exhibits an astonishing potential of flexibility and adaptibility to the new challenges. The paper shows empirically that there does not exist any cause for alarm. | ||

| Contents: | Since the enactment of the University Act (UG) 2002, each university has been responsible as an autonomous institution for developing its own Promotion Plan for Women (Frauenförderungsplan) and for documenting the actions and results in performance agreements concluded with the Federal Government. In a two years procedure, which was based on a self-evaluation by the universities and an evaluation in a peer review process, the stage of development of the promotion of women and gender mainstreaming of 12 Austrian universities were evaluated. The project resulted in recommendations on drawing up ‘promotions plans for women’ and performance agreements, in an independent assessment of actions to promote women in actual practice, and an overview on the status quo of promotion of women and gender mainstreaming. | ||

| Evaluator: | Joanneum Research: Wolfgang Polt, Norwegian Research Council: Per Koch, Slovenian Research Agency: Boris Pukl, Ministry of Economic Affairs (The Netherlands) Arjan Wolters | ||
| Contents: | The main objective of the Policy Mix Expert Group in the third cycle of the Open Method of Coordination (OMC) was to conduct a peer review process capable of acting as an instrument of mutual learning. The specific aim of the process was to help countries better understand the policy mixes needed to raise R&D intensity by improving overall innovation system performance. This review report aims to provide a view on the achievements and challenges for Estonian RTDI policy against the background of the Lisbon 3% target and the ways to achieve it by improving the mix and coherence of RTDI policies and its articulation against each other. It provides a synthesis of the observations of the experts and – on the basis of a critical discussion of the current state – puts forward some recommendations for Estonian RTDI policy. | ||

| Title: | Innovations in Innovation Policy Making - The Austrian Competence Centre Programme K+ | ||
| Client: | OeNb | ||
| Evaluator: | Peter Biegelbauer (IHS) | ||
| Contents: | In 1998 the first Competence Centre Programme, K+, a multi-actors and multi-measures research and technological development (RTD) policy, was introduced to Austria. Whilst the policy initiative had predecessors in the USA, Australia, Sweden and other OECD countries, it was the first of its kind for Austria. The programme was a major policy innovation for the country, not only due to its novel instruments and goals, but also because it was created in a new way, breaking with the policy style dominant in the RTD policy field before. The paper looks into the question why this major policy innovation, which in the meantime has been recognised as a best practice model by international consultants and the OECD alike, could take place. This analysis applies the policy learning approach, considers the knowledge resources utilized for the programme creation, implementation and evaluation as well as different forms of learning which took place. | ||

| Evaluator: | The German Association of Mathematics (DMV) headed by Karl-Heinz Hoffmann (Forschungszentrum Caesar Bonn) and Jean-Pierre Bourguignon (l’Institut des Hautes Ètudes Scientifiques, Bures-sur-Yvette) | ||
| Contents: | A high-ranking (and exclusively international) committee has evaluated research and development in the special field of mathematics at the Austrian universities within the period from 2004 to 2005. It is notable that with this effort a very important step towards the development of an evaluation culture in Austria has been taken which should provide for a significant information basis for decision makers of the Austrian research and university policy | ||

| Evaluator: | Andreas Schibany (Joanneum Research), Leonhard Jörg (Technopolis) | ||
| Contents: | The study analyses the R&D expenditure in Austria over the last years and shows that Austria has finalised its catching-up process. The creation of innovation and research enhancing framework conditions and in particular an efficient mix of R&D supporting instruments (Portfoliomanagement) are new challenges for the innovation system. | ||

| Title: | Policy profile Austria. Input paper for the OECD NIS MONIT Network | ||
| Client: | OECD | ||
| Evaluator: | Leonhard Jörg (Technopolis) | ||
| Contents: | The report maps the Austrian science, technology and innovation policy system in the light of observed governance. The paper starts with an overview on the Austrian STIperformance and explores the evolvement of the current STI-policy system. After mapping the key actors within the system a range of specific governance aspects are discussed in more detail. Issues addressed are: observed policy mix, new ways of policy delivery (programming), interaction between various policy levels (federalregional). The last chapter of the report focuses on the learning capability of the STIsystem. Important in this context are the availability of strategic intelligence, the involvement of stakeholders and the observed use of evaluation. | ||
