The Centre for the Study of Science and Innovation Policy (CSIP) invites all students, faculty and researchers interested in the study of science, technology and innovation policy to participate in a bi-weekly research forum. Each forum will involve a quick roundtable of introductions, a review of topical policy issues, one or more brief research reports and general discussion about research strategies and methods that are being or could be used to examine various angles of the policy system. You can simply drop in and listen or offer to present some of your findings.
CSIP is initially focused on innovation challenges in the agricultural biosciences, energy, health innovation and big-data realms, but would entertain a wider range of discussions.
How do we Measure the Value of Discovery Research?
Presented by: Jerome Konecsni, JSGS Executive-in-Residence
In order for innovation to flourish, researchers need to better define and measure the value of discovery and basic research in a way that speaks to the needs of policy makers. In this brief presentation, Jerome Konecsni will talk about the shortcomings of current metrics; will highlight the need to develop new approaches; and will touch on the ongoing trend and push by government to move further down the innovation continuum.
