   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; policy evaluation; transformative innovation policy; directionality; behavioural additionality;

   Abstract : Past reviews show that the current practice of science, technology, and innovation policy evaluation lags behind the development of innovation theory. The emergence of the transformative innovation policy paradigm, which aims at addressing transformative change or ‘grand challenges’, implies new challenges for policy evaluation. READ MORE

   Abstract : Population ageing and increased digitalization each constitute an ongoing and profound transformation within contemporary modes of living, as growing advances in technological development mix and intermingle with the lived realities of older people as the final recipients. It is against the backdrop of this interplay that user involvement has enjoyed ever-rising advocacy to an almost normative degree. READ MORE

5. 3. Transformative innovation policy evaluation: characteristics, challenges, and lessons from practice

   Author : Carolina Resende Haddad; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Additionality; Transformative innovation policy; Directionality; Policy evaluation;

   Abstract : The emergence of the transformative innovation policy (TIP) framing, which builds upon previous science, technology, and innovation policy (STI) approaches to address transformative change or “grand challenges,” implies new challenges for policy evaluation. While most frameworks for TIP evaluation are quite similar to those of previous STI policy evaluation approaches, it is here argued that issues such as capturing the effect of such policies, such as related to the direction of transformative change and its additionality, remains unaddressed in the literature.
