The IPTS Working Papers on Corporate R&D and Innovation focus on economic and policy questions related to industrial research and innovation and their contribution to the European competitiveness. Mainly addressed to policy analysts and the academic community, these are scientific papers (policy relevant, highlighting possible policy implications) and proper scientific publications which will be typically issued at the moment they are submitted to peer-reviewed scientific journals. The Working Papers are useful to communicate to a broad audience the preliminary research findings of the work we develop, to generate discussion and to attract critical comments for further improvements. The Working Papers are considered works in progress and are subject to revision.
These IPTS Working Papers on Corporate R&D and Innovation can take the form of more policy oriented notes, mainly addressed to EU policymakers. They present policy implications derived from our own research and the views of the most prominent authors in the field, making the appropriate references.
