In the ever-evolving landscape of science, technology, and innovation (STI), effective policies play a pivotal role. These policies often employ multiple instruments to achieve their goals. For instance, tax rebates for research spending empower the private sector, while strategies to boost firms’ innovation management capabilities drive growth.
This publication delves into the design, implementation, and impact of STI policy instruments across regions. Data from the UNESCO Global Observatory of Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy Instruments (GO-SPIN) platform reveals close links between these instruments and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Notably, SDG 9 (industry, innovation, and infrastructure), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), and SDG 4 (quality education) are key targets.
Evidence-based policy design, continuous monitoring, diversified funding sources, effective program management, stakeholder communication, and transformative learning are essential for successful implementation. Let’s harness the power of STI policy instruments to drive sustainable development! 🚀📊🤖
