Renewing a valuable tradition of studies, the CNR again provides quantitative analyses and case studies to inform the debate and policy choices on research and innovation, with a valid documentary basis. A contribution for those working in universities, public research organisations, companies and the production and dissemination of new knowledge in general. A useful tool for the public to understand the Italian research and innovation system.

The Report, co-ordinated by Daniele Archibugi, Emanuela Reale and Fabrizio Tuzi, and promoted by the Department of Social sciences and humanities, cultural heritage (CNR-DSU) will be attended by four CNR Institutes: IRPPS, ISSIRFA, IRCRES and IASI, together with academics from universities, public research organisations such as ENEA, and industry.
