A section on “Best practices in S&T and Innovation policies” is envisaged in the framework of the 11th annual HSE International Academic Conference, entitled “Modernisation of the Economy: Productivity and the Human Factor” (Moscow, 6-8 April, 2010). It is the largest international conference in economics and social sciences in Russia involving over 1,2 thousand participants, including the ministers, Nobel Prize winners, international organizations, research centres and universities from different countries world wide. Detailed information is available on the web site given above. The IncoNet EECA section is supposed to focus on key issues such as priority setting (e.g. Foresight and roadmapping), institutional reforms in S&T (public R&D organizations, research evaluation, centres of excellence, academy-industry knowledge transfer, etc.), and policies for international S&T cooperation. The concluding session will be designed as a round-table on post-crisis policies for innovation-driven economic growth.
