The OECD Working Party on Innovation and Technology Policy (TIP) provides evidence-based advice to countries to foster STI policies that enhance productivity and foster sustainable and inclusive knowledge-driven economic growth; strengthen public research institutions and their contributions to innovation and economic performance and foster the creation of science and technology-based firms.
The Working Party currently looks at the topics of R&D as a policy target, Co-creation and Innovation Policies for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth. It recently concluded the 2-year projects on Digital and Open Innovation and Knowledge Transfer with the publication of the reports "Digital Innovation: Seizing Policy Opportunities" and "University-Industry Collaboration: New Evidence and Policy Options" and more than 20 case study contributions.
The TIP was established by the OECD Committee for Scientific and Technological Policy (CSTP) in 1993. It is made up of government officials and country experts responsible for science, technology and innovation and meets twice per year.

TIP talks and discussions: STI policy in times of Covid-19
The TIP Working Party is organising, in the fall of 2020, a series of online talks and discussions to support science, technology and innovation policy makers in the context of the Covid-19 crisis. Speakers with diverse backgrounds and expertise will share their perspectives on policy solutions to pressing as well as longer-term challenges, stimulating out-of-the-box thinking and exchanges.
The TIP talks and discussions, organised in the context of TIP's ongoing projects, are open to policy makers, practitioners and experts who are interested in the impacts of Covid-19 on science and innovation systems and policy responses.

OECD-TIP CURRENT PROJECTS (2019-2020)
R&D intensity as a policy target
R&D intensity
