European Innovation Policies for the Digital Shift

Overview
The European Innovation Policies for the Digital Shift (EURIPIDIS) is a three-year research project jointly launched in 2013 by JRC and DG CONNECT of the European Commission. This project aims to improve understanding of innovation in the ICT sector and ICT-enabled innovation in the rest of the economy.

The purpose of the EURIPIDIS project is to provide evidence-based support to the policies, instruments and measurement needs of DG CONNECT for enhancing ICT Innovation in Europe, in the context of the Digital Agenda for Europe, of the European Digital Single Market, and of the ICT priority of Horizon 2020. It focuses on the improvement of the transfer of best research ideas to the market.

EURIPIDIS aims to:


 * better understand how ICT innovation works, at the level of actors such as firms, and also of the ICT "innovation system" in the EU;
 * assess the EU's current ICT [[innovation performance, by attempting to measure ICT innovation in Europe and measuring the impact of existing policies and instruments (such as FP7 and Horizon 2020); and
 * explore and suggest how policy makers could make ICT innovation in the EU work better.
