Policy Profile Austria. Input Paper for the OECD NIS MONIT Network
The report maps the Austrian science, technology and innovation policy system in the light of observed governance. The paper starts with an overview on the Austrian STI performance and explores the evolvement of the current STI policy system. After mapping the key actors within the system a range of specific governance aspects are discussed in more detail. Issues addressed are: observed policy mix, new ways of policy delivery (programming), interaction between various policy levels (federal/regional). The last chapter of the report focuses on the learning capability of the STI system. Important in this context are the availability of strategic intelligence, the involvement of stakeholders and the observed use of evaluation.
