Mission-oriented Innovation Policy Observatory
The Mission-oriented Innovation Policy Observatory (MIPO) aims to enhance the understanding, monitoring and effective use of challenge-based innovation missions to solve complex societal problems. It unites policy practitioners and scholars from innovation, transition and governance studies.
The Observatory provides a basis for characterizing, comparing and reviewing the governance and policy instrumentation of ambitious missions designed to solve selected complex societal problems and has a broad scope in terms of country, government-level and policy domain. MIPO researchers engage in in-depth and comparative analysis of cases suggested by practitioners dealing with governance or policy questions.
Research agenda
Researchers affiliated with the MIPO engage in self-initiated as well as commissioned research projects, both of a theoretical and empirical nature. Topics and research questions the MIPO is concerned with include, amongst others, the following:
- Conceptualisation of missions and mission-oriented innovation policies (MIPs)
- Comparison of different types of missions and MIPs
- Reviewing policy adoption and effects
