Project description
New infrastructure to lift science, technology and innovation to new heights
Successfully transforming the field of science, technology and innovation (STI) into an advanced research community hinges on the development of an e-infrastructure that supports full virtual transnational access by researchers. It also requires an enlarged set of services aimed at meeting field-specific needs (for exploring open data and supporting researchers’ analytical capabilities). It also requires the maintenance of data sets and developing new ones. In this context, the EU-funded RISIS 2 project will develop this e-infrastructure. It will also provide training, dissemination and communication activities to support the widening of the community. The ultimate aim of the project is to build on the first RISIS project (2014-2018) and to further support the development of a new generation of analysis and indicators.
Objective
The European Research infrastructure for science, technology and innovation policy studies (RISIS2) aims at building a data and services infrastructure supporting the development of a new generation of analyses and indicators. To develop a deeper understanding of knowledge dynamics and policy relevant evidence, the project goes beyond established quantitative indicators, developing positioning indicators, which take into account critical features of knowledge dynamics i.e. the importance of asymmetries in producers, in places and in themes. RISIS datasets are built keeping information on these three dimensions. To exploit them, new services dealing with actor identification, geographical information and thematic foci are developed, as well as semantic analytical capabilities. This project builds on RISIS1 (2014-18), which has demonstrated the relevance of such an approach and opened access to a first set of databases and services. RISIS2 gathers 19 partners aiming to transform the field of STI studies into an advanced research community. This step change is achieved by: (i) developing an e-infrastructure that supports full virtual transnational access by researchers, (ii) providing a vastly enlarged set of services tailored to field-specific needs (for problem-based integration of datasets, for exploring open data, and for supporting analytical capabilities of researchers), (iii) maintaining datasets dealing with firm innovation capacities, public research developments, R&I outputs and projects, and policy learning, (iv) developing new datasets on 4 key issues for research and policy (social innovation, non technological innovation, the role of PhDs in society, portfolios of public funding instruments). As reflected in the strong role of OpenAire in RISIS2, the infrastructure is fully inscribed into the open science movement. It is accompanied by a strong training, dissemination and communication effort to support the important widening of the community we aim at.
