STRATIN+: Strategic Intelligence for Research and Innovation

The project contributes to the effective coordination and interconnection of existing analytical capacities, to the direction of their activities towards the current and future needs of strategic decision-making in R&D&I policy, and to the systematic use of expert analytical and strategic materials by public administration responsible for the creation and implementation of research and innovation policy in the Czech Republic. The aim of this project is to provide timely, objective, relevant and analytically based information for strategic decision-making in R&D&I. The effort is to strengthen strategic intelligence capacities for R&D&I in the Czech Republic, to effectively coordinate or link analytical activities and to streamline the systematic use of strategic intelligence capacities in the implementation of R&D&I policy in the Czech Republic.

The STRATIN+ project is structured into the following activities, which enhance strategic intelligence in specific segments of R&D&I policy:

• Research and Innovation Systems
• Technology, Society and Smart Specializaion
• People and Science
• R&D&I Professional Community

Outputs:

The main result of the project is the systematic use of strategic intelligence capacities for the purpose of making informed decisions on R&D&I support from public funds of the Czech Republic. Outputs of the project will be expert background studies for public authorities and research organisations in the Czech Republic. The studies will contribute to effective evidence-based policy decision-making. These evidence-based studies will focus on system analyses of the state of R&D&I abroad and in the Czech Republic, ex ante evaluations of programmes and policies and their socio-economic impacts, as well as foresight studies.

The STRATIN+ project is supported by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (project code MS2501)
