Strengthening innovation processes for growth and development

Objective

The IN-SIGHT project will contribute to an improved knowledge of innovation systems and processes. Emphasis throughout the project is on gaining a better understanding of linkages in research-practice innovation chains and networks. A guiding idea is to contrast the concept of linear relationships in technology transfer with a more systemic view of innovation networks. In this respect relevant societal and agricultural (knowledge) system changes and alterations in socio-technical networks are explicitly considered. Project goals that are directly linked with that are an identification of weaknesses and factors that lead to failure in present innovation systems and processes as well as the identification of best practice examples. Effective innovation networks and success factors will be identified in a series of case studies and documented. Recommendations will be derived that are directly relevant for European and member states level research programmes, measures in support of innovation and rural development policy. The direct involvement of relevant institutions and stakeholders in the research process is a key feature of the IN-SIGHT project. Throughout implementation a close cooperation with practitioners from relevant institutions and stakeholders will be ensured. This is implemented through a series of consultations that are directly combined with three in-depth reviews for particular innovation fields. The in-depth reviews will focus on (a) innovations in agriculture with a particular focus on product and marketing innovations, (b) innovations in environmental technologies with a particular focus on non-food production, bioenergy and water saving technologies, and (c) innovations in (new) rural services and a better use of information and communication technologies in rural areas.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
