TRIP-EuHub – Copy

The TRIP-EuHub is a joint initiative between the Transformative Policy Consortium (TIPC) and the European Forum for Studies of Policies for Research and Innovation (Eu-SPRI). Hubs support research and new approaches for evaluation, deep learning, and capacity building as well as develop local implementation projects and global research networks. 

The European Forum for Studies of Policies for Research and Innovation (Eu-SPRI) was established in 2010 on the initiative of 12 founding member organisations from research and academia to create a stable, reliable and open platform for academics working on issues of research, technology and innovation policy. 

Eu-SPRI brings together 19 leading research centres specialising in research and innovation policy studies, spanning across 11 European countries. TIPC and Eu-SPRI have already collaborated over the past years on matters of transformative and mission-oriented innovation policy. The TRIP-EuHub is meant to further consolidate this collaboration and provide a forum of exchange and learning on new forms of next-generation innovation policy in close interaction between researchers and policy-makers. 

TRIP-Eu Hub Participants 

TRIP-Eu Hub is composed by “couples” of research organizations belonging to Eu-SPRI and governments (local, national, and global level) doing experimentation together on transformative innovation policy. 

TEAM

The Hub will have an executive team led by Alejandra Boni and Matthias Weber.
