Abstract

This paper was first presented at the 2012 – EU SPRI Conference "Towards Transformative Governance? - Responses to mission-oriented innovation policy paradigms", Fraunhofer ISI, June 2012, Karlsruhe ; In this paper we reflect upon how policy-makers look for, interpret and use evidence for reflection and policy development. We propose an exploratory framework that sets out two of the elements necessary to a conceptualization of what may explain the way in which evidence and indicators are used in STI policy development: the type of evaluative approach and the styles of governance.
