On the GoodNIP research project
Main objectivesThe main objective of Good Practices in Nordic Innovation Policies is to develop a survey and an analysis of Nordic innovation policy instruments that directly or indirectly are targeting small and medium sized enterprises. The project is to provide Nordic policy makers with information to be used in the development of new or adjusted policy instruments on a national or Nordic level. The project was finished in the spring of 2003, and the final reports are now available. See press release. The researchersThe project unites researchers from the five Nordic countries: Norway, Iceland, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden. Many of the researchers are also involved in the EU Trend Chart on innovation. The objective has not been to duplicate Trend Chart efforts, however, but to use Trend Chart data and reports as a foundation for further in depths studies. The GoodNIP study may also give an important contribution to the work done by the EU Commission. The project will also contribute to work done by the OECD. The study has been coordinated by the Norwegian STEP-group. The other participants are NUTEK and VINNOVA of Sweden, VTT of Finland, Denmark's Technological University and the Icelandic research council RANNIS. The final report will be ready by April 2003.

The Nordic Industrial FundThe Nordic Industrial Fund - Center for Innovation and Commercial Development is an institution under the Nordic Council of Ministers. Its aim is to strengthen the Nordic business sector through the creation of a Nordic knowledge market, and the organisation does this by initiating and financing projects and activities that create synergy between actors in the Nordic innovation system.
