International Symposium on Assessing the Economic Impacts of Public R&D

As part of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan’s “Science for RE-designing Science, Technology and Innovation Policy(SciREX)” project, NISTEP (National Institute of Science and Technology Policy) has been conducting macroeconomic analysis of the impact of research and development (R&D) investments to support related policymaking.

As part of this research, NISTEP is holding an international symposium to bring together evaluators and experts conducting similar R&D economic impact analyses to support policy formulation in the EU and OECD. This symposium will include presentations on:

  • Global trends in R&D investment impact evaluation
  • Utilization of macroeconomic models in EU policymaking
  • Utilization of macroeconomic models to evaluate R&D investments in Japan

These presentations will be followed by discussion periods to allow participants to further explore these issues and share their experiences. Through these presentations and discussions, we hope that this symposium will lead to a deeper understanding of case examples for R&D economic impact analysis and their essential contribution to effective policymaking.
