EU presents new “Science, Research and Innovation Performance of the EU (SRIP) report”.

The Science, Research and Innovation performance of the EU and key European countries have been presented in the latest SRIP report by the European Commission's Directorate-general for Research and Innovation. The report combines a macroeconomic analysis with analytical research on policy and speaks to members of the Research and Innovation community, Economics and Finance-policy.

The report shows that the creation and dissemination of research and innovation are essential for Europe's prosperity and social model. Europe is also a world leader in scientific excellence. However, there is still a margin for growth in translating this excellence into innovation and entrepreneurship. Furthermore, increasing its productivity to support current economic growth is also one of the key challenges.

This key report is now in its second edition and will be published biennially by the European Commission's Directorate-general for Research and Innovation.
