主題內(nèi)容：
In the past decade, a growing number of countries have established national councils for innovation or for science, technology and innovation. The interest in innovation councils is not dependent on level of economic development. Both highly developed countries with strong innovative capacity, such as Finland or Germany, and less developed countries, such as Brazil and China, have set up high-level councils reporting directly to the Head of Government or Ministers of economy or research (or their equivalents). Councils have been set up in response to a growing need for strengthening the coordination, governance, inclusiveness and, ultimately, the effectiveness of innovation policy, numerous countries have established innovation councils. However, the composition, mandate, resources and organizational positioning differ significantly between countries.
What are the rationales, driving forces and expectations that explain the growing interest in national innovation councils as a policy instrument and/or governance mechanism? How do they operate and what determines their effectiveness and impact? In this presentation, I analyze a number of national councils, comparing their function, composition and role in different national innovation systems. In particular, I look at Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Canada and the US. I conclude with some policy recommendations based on the analysis
