EU-SPRI (Forum)
The "European Forum for Studies of Policies for Research and Innovation" (Eu-SPRI Forum) aims to strengthen the vibrant but dispersed interdisciplinary community of researchers focusing on interdisciplinary dimensions related to policy and governance in the field of knowledge creation and innovation.
Studies of Policies for Research and Innovation (SPRI) is a growing research field since the 1960s, evolving at the encounter of economics, political science, sociology, Science and Technology Studies (STS), business administration, geography and history.
The Eu-SPRI Forum collaborates with non-European expert networks in the field of science, research, technology and innovation policy studies, such as the "Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Research Network of the Americas (STIPA)"
