Guidelines for applied research promotion policy – new report of EISIE

The foundations for applied research promotion policy in Poland are formulated in the new report of EISIE.

A set of basic assumptions are methodically deployed and analysed. In this way two top priorities are identified: to improve the quality of research and researchers, and to tighten the science-society ties, in connection with several broad tasks.

The report consists of the following sections:

• Introduction – remarks of the methodologies of policy formulation and our poit of view,
• Prerequisites of policy formulation,
• Methodology of policy formulation,
• Guidelines for the policy of applied research promotion.

Last page of the report is the check sheet for the instrument of applied research promotion policy.

The report, titled „The foundations for applied research promotion policy in Poland” is the second report completed at the request of The National Centre for Research and Development (after the first „The practice of innovation and collaboration of enterprises in Poland with science”), and submitted in the beginning of June, 2008. It will be presented soon to the public debate, once the accompanying works on specific measures to foster applied research in Poland are finished.

The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBiR) is a government funded agency. It was established in July 2007 to implement priority tasks in the field of Polish scientific and innovative policy and is a unique state agency to perform public tasks in that area.
