Transformative mission-oriented innovation policies : revisiting the role of science, technology and innovation in society

edited by Jakob Edler (Managing Director, Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Germany and Professor of Innovation Policy and Strategy, University of Manchester, UK), Mireille Matt (Senior Research Scientist, French National Institute for Research on Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE), France), Wolfgang Polt (Formerly Director of POLICIES, Joanneum Research, Austria) and Matthias Weber (Head, Center for Innovation Systems and Policy, AIT (Austrian Institute of Technology), Austria and Professor of Innovation Policy, Université Gustave Eiffel, France)

This prescient book offers a unique combination of the conceptualisations of transformative mission-oriented science, technology and innovation policies, including insightful in-depth empirical studies covering a wide range of countries to explore how these policies are designed, enacted and analysed. Taking a fresh look at these mission-oriented policies and the scale of ambition with large-scale transformations of entire socio-technical systems, this combination of thinking allows for a greater understanding of not only the approach but also the prerequisites and challenges faced. Using detailed analysis, this book allows for enhanced learning and conclusions for the application of these policies in a variety of diverse contexts. The expert contributors offer a stimulus to the existing debates and learnings to enable a better handling of the ongoing political and practical challenges that come with adopting this approach. This engaging book is an excellent resource for scholars of science, technology and innovation policy, policy analysis and political and governance sciences. It will also be an enlightening read for national and regional policy makers responsible for implementing large-scale change across policy areas such as energy, health, transport and climate-related policies
