From 2005 to 2009, INNOVA was the Italian Correspondent for the ”European TrendChart on Innovation”, the European network, supported by the European Commission, analyzing and producing national studies on innovation systems in 39 countries.

The “European TrendChart on Innovation” was an instrument developed by the European Commission to draw a wide-ranging overview of innovation policies across Europe. The “European TrendChart on Innovation” provided policy makers and managers with statistics, performances and trends on innovation policies in Member States. It was built around three blocks:

• The Survey of Innovation Policy to track national policies;
• The European Innovation Scoreboard to compare national innovation performances;
• The Innovation Policy review as a policy learning support tool helping the exchange of good practices
